Is there anyone else out there with amennorhea possibly from being underweight? I do not get a period (or ovulate). I used to be overweight, but lost 80 lbs. and was on the pill the whole time. Now I'm slightly underweight (15 lbs. below "ideal") and body fat is 17%. Anyone have success with gaining some weight to make periods return? My RE says it's definitely possible, but I'd really love to hear some success stories. Or even periods returning from losing weight if overweight - I think both extremes work the same way by disrupting hormones and pituitary functioning. Don't get me wrong - I'm not waiting to try to gain some lbs. - I'm doing that right now, but sometimes I just feel that there's no hope. DH and I did IVF 4 times with only chemical pgs. and then a 6 1/2 week pregnancy where we saw the hb, but then had a miscarriage. We want to ttc the old fashioned way...any hope for us? I'm busy eating and praying that God will bless us!
