concern for my period
hi everyone! im a huge hypochondriac and just have suchhh bad health anxiety so im looking for some advice!
i haven’t had my period in 5 months. my periods have always been irregular (i’ve had them 5 years now), though last year they were PERFECT.
i was really undereating in february/march/april/may of this year and i haven’t had a period since january.
i’ve been in recovery for the past month so ive been trying to get my period back that way. but im scared that maybe theres an underlying cause like PCOS (which my mom has).
do you think it’s ok if i wait until october to schedule an appointment? i really don’t want my parents involved and that’s the only time ill be able to do it without them (ill be in college).
also i’m only 18 so the risk of things like endometrial cancer is slightly lower. i’m really prioritising calcium and vitamin d for bone health too. i’m trying to be as proactive as i can so that maybe i can get a head start.
i really appreciate any advice you might have! thank u
