Those of you that are anorexics that lost your period because of it...did your period return and if so when and how?

Good luck,

I did have one glorious day of spotting last month, but I have not had a full on period since 2000.
My gyno put me on ProVera to induce my period, which kind of worked the first time. The second time, no dice. Also, I won't take birth control pills because I don't like meds.
A friend of mine was a dancer and said that it took a while for hers to come back once she left dance. But hers came back.
I would love to know how long it took others' periods to return...I often feel freaked out about it myself.

I was anorexic for about 20 yrs. For a short while there they did stop for about 6 months, went into my gyno and he told he I just needed to put on some weight. Ask me if I could do that and told him I could.
Did put on a whole 5 lbs. and they came back as normal as can be and like clock work. This was about 6 yrs. into my anorexia, then I became pregnant 2 yrs later with my daughter althou by all standards I was still wayyyyyyyyy underweight. Put on 32 lbs, while prego and my daughter was born good and healthy "Thank GOD". I was 115 lbs when I had her.
My gyno said if I had a 5 lber, that would be great for me, because I am only 5 ft. and very very petite. She ended up being 6 lbs. even.
That how it went for me, still had them after too and like clock work, until I became menopausal.....................
