I'm confused
Hi everyone!
I don't even know where to start. So I lost my period for 7 years due to an eating disorder. I was severely underweight but have regained it all and am now back at the weight I was bevore my ED, shapewise I'd say I'm even a bit bigger. In November 2025 I had my first period and had one in december, february and march. I'm still waiting for the next one.
Last week I had my hormone levels tested. My estrogen is apparently very low and my doctor wants me to go on HRT (I'm not even 30 yet).
If my estrogen is so low, what were the periods I had? What do I do? I don't really want to go on HRT but I'm already eating enough. I don't even know what I'm tryying to achieve with this post but I think I just have to get this off my chest because I'm really confused about all this. My worst fear is having to eat more and gain more weight. I'm already bigger than I ever was. I don't think it's necessary as I had a few periods recently? So my body must have felt safe enough already?
