Lost my period after restriction + fasting (40 days late) is this HA recovery?
Hi, I’m looking for advice from anyone who’s been through this.
I’m 5’1 and around >!108-110lbs!< I lost my period about 40 days ago after a period of restriction and fasting.
My history:
Started with dieting (OMAD, low calories)
Then went into more extreme fasting (including longer fasts a few times a week)
Lost weight down to >!101!<lbs at my lowest
Had some binge/restrict cycles during that time
Period stopped after
Now I’ve been trying to recover:
Eating more consistently for 2–3 weeks
Around >!2350!< calories most days (still adjusting)
Strength training 2–3x/week (bodyweight)
Low steps currently
But my period hasn’t come back yet and I’m worried if I’m doing enough or if I should change something (food/exercise).
Has anyone had a similar experience?
How long did it take for your cycle to return once you started recovery?
