Thanks for this video, the way you talk is so calming. I am feeling quiet anxious because I have had irregular periods and have lost my periods for around 3 months ( I am 17y o).I'm trying to recover slowly and naturally by taking chinese medicine, the main reason I am so anxious is because I have noticed more body hair growth recently and I am afraid it is caused by serious hormone illness like PCOS. I will try my best to change my relationship with food, let's hope that I can restore my menstrual cycle as soon as possible.
Amazing amazing video☀️☀️thank you xxx
Thanks for this video, I've had ha for almost 2 years struggling with a variety of eating disorders on and off for the last 8 years. I've had cervical mucus for maybe 2 months now but then recently had little to none for a few days. Felt very full eating my usual meals the other day and today I'm a bottomless pit almost like I had no leptin at all, but still allowing myself to eat more. The other evening I was surprisingly chilly and today I was overly warm. Its hard to know sometimes if I'm anywhere close but I'm doing my best to tell myself it's okay to eat more even if I don't appear underweight due to having a broad frame. I want to get better as my legs sometimes hurt (possible onset osteopenia) and I have to pee all the time, so annoying! Trusting your body really is a process but I hope to get there eventually, again thank you for sharing 💕
Thanks so much for sharing this video!
This is great info
I’m definitely experiencing some of these symptoms and hoping I’m close to recovery! 💓
Amazing, thank you so much!
I love this video ❤
Something I’m noticing is my mood. I’m feeling in a better mood now, I just started my recovery a week ago so it’s too soon to say the other signs XD
honestly made me feel more comfortable with the fact of discharge and that my body is at least trying.. i think i’ve been to stressed about it just being gone.. but i definitely have been seeing changes good changes getting there slowly but getting there. i’ve noticed progress has been coming but the only problem is the stress because i just simply can’t control it. with my body temp i really just have been focusing on if my hands are feet are cold my main thing and i definitely have seen progress. but i got really discouraged when my little sister got hers and now i’m kinda just idk but after listening to what your saying like every little thing. hairs nails like definitely made me come to a realization of how far i have come from i shouldn’t get discouraged when i’ve come a long way and there has been progress even if it’s not 100% what i was looking for
ignore all the typos i’m not trying to edit it all 😭 there’s so dumb little things cause i can’t type
I'm glad you feel better! Mucus is a GOOD thing!
Hello Danni, I have a restrictive type of eating disorder. Since October 2020 I've been doing intermittent fasting to keep my body at a low weight, not eating for 18-20 hours and eating as much as I could in only 5 hours. I still had my periods and I was still ovulating. However, as of the last 7 months, my periods have been irregular, they've been lasting longer and are excessively heavy, with my last period lasting 2 weeks! I've been put through hell by doctors trying to get to the bottom of things. They've been dismissive, refusing to do any tests. I ended up having to pay privately for a hormonal blood test and according to the results, my FSH, LH and oestrogen are all low and my prolactin is slightly elevated, so I haven't been ovulating. I sent a copy of these results to the doctor last week and she hasn't even looked at them! A nurse I spoke to told me the changes I'm experiencing are not caused by the fasting, but I beg to differ because I was healthy and my period was regular before starting fasting! Since I'm experiencing anovulatory periods, does that mean eventually my periods will stop? And can I prevent that by eating more? :( I feel so anxious and alone, no medical support and I've been desperately searching online for advice and support! :(
This is a more in depth question! I would recommend you consider 1:1 coaching or joining The HA Society to get a more indepth look at your case. thehasociety.com
Thank you so much! You're so encouraging... I've had HA for the past 6 years due to an eating disorder and over-exercising. It's always been an up and down, since I've been (half ass) recovering for about 4 1/2 years... but now I'm just experiencing extreme hunger, mood swings and soreness, which is why I've been eating much more and haven't really been able to exercise the last few days... And I think that's because my hormones are doing something. I felt really uncomfortable and kind of scared about those changes in my body, that's why I searched for someone on the internet to tell and reassure me, that it's okay and actually a good thing! And then I found you! Thank you so much!
YAY! Welcome to my channel! I'm glad that this encouraged you. If you liked it you should definitely check out the whole podcast - The Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Podcast because I talk more and more about these things and I think you'll find it reassuring too :)
hey girl, how are you doing now in your HA journey?
@@derpy_blue I'm so happy to tell: I've gotten my period back last December! I'm so so so happy! It's still a little bit irregular since my hormones need some time to adjust and regulate but it's THERE 🥰😮
@@helloelianamilenadid u gain any weight?
@@ibabymonster I think the weight gain was the essential reason for why I got my period back. But honestly, while it happened, I didn't even notice it thaaat much. Yes, at times it was really uncomfortable, but I overcame it and pushed myself to keep going because I knew I couldn't keep going the way I was a few years ago. I haven't stepped onto the scale one time during that time because I knew it would trigger me in some way. So instead, I focused on other things in my life like drawing/painting or playing piano. This number that shows up on the scale while I'm standing on it doesn't define me. It's just the force with which gravity is pulling me towards the middle of earth 😂 don't worry too much about it as long as your body is functioning and healthy... and now, mine is. 🤗
I listen to your podcast for 1 year before doing something about it. I lost my period in february 2021 and I tried SO MANY things before eating correctly and today I can gladly say I relate to this video. I think my period is finally coming back!!!
Please what was your diagnosis
@@rofeidabedrane8173 well It was amenorrhea type 2, caused by stress and undereating
@@rofeidabedrane8173 when I gained weight it came back! Now I've been having my period for 5 months
Thanks ♥️
@@marinamoraes7301did u ever get it back??
Thanks so much for the vid! Did you ever experience constant hunger (it's not EXTREME, just that you get hungry really easily really quickly even after eating to 100% full) all day every day during HA recovery, even if you're nourishing yourself and eating ALL the food? (I'm eating 3000+ cal each day and still hungry)
My experience with constant hunger was WHILE I was restricting. I find that people who had a suppressed appetite during HA usually get hungry in recovery and vice versa. Because I started eating WAY more fats in recovery, I was satiated easier :)
I’ve been noticing so many symptoms it feels like i’m on my period without the bleeding or pregnant without obviously being pregnant.
update… started my period today!
What signs did u see? How much time did it take to come back ?
@@thevloggingworld409 I had sooo many mood swings, cramps, ovarian pain, headaches, lower back pain, i’m nursing as well so an increase in milk supply, neuropathy in my feet, carpal tunnel pain in my right hand, forgetfulness, increased appetite and then no appetite, constipation, fatigue, anxiety. I am 11 month post partum from having my daughter. this was essentially my first period. but after taking vitex, inositol, magnesium, and vitamin d, it started within a couple weeks.
@@missyyyyy3261 congratulations and thanks for telling
Hi Dani, thank you for your informative video. I just start my recovery journey one week ago by increasing my calories. However, I started to feel constant bloating all the time and feel full all the time. My stomach feels so uncomfortable, hence its kinda hard for me to eat more.. So i have to really force myself to eat more. Is it normal to get this kind of bloating for the first period of recovery? Thank you in advance!
Yes it's common! Your body is responding to change which you must expect. It will calm down :)
I got cervical mucus last month and after about a week it's gone then it started again this month the last few days,is it normal?
Help me plz is nw 4yrs nw without mentuation whats wrong what should i take?
Is it still very likely to get my period back if I eat a lot more, even if I don't eat very regularly? I find with my schedule it's a lot easier for me to get in about 80% of my calories in the evening/night and I know eating regularly can be important to allow your body to trust you have a continual source of food. I'd love if I could get my period back just eating a lot in about 2 sittings but I know that may not work for everyone
If you're eating enough overall this should be ok...In some cases we do need to dial food frequency in a lot and I would say it depends on other lifestyle and stress factors. I'd for sure want to talk more to you and learn more about you to fully answer that for you.
I'm taking things slowly I'm getting about 1700to 1800 current after 1200 I gained from 58 to 60.5 in 5 Months my breast is growing now after it was disappeared my hair is growing now , I have my better mood but still no cervical mucus 💔 , also I'm getting hunger nowadays
Did u get it??!!
Hi thanks for the helpful video! I have been in recovery for the last 9 months and have finally seen very light spotting/bleeding my past two cycles. This month I experience spotting again and then two weeks later I got a more normal period. (I am also on birth control) Is it normal/ okay that I bled twice this month? Sorry if this is a dumb question I just have a lot of anxiety around this topic haha
(I also went without a period for about 2 years)
Not a dumb question! It is certainly common and when your cycle is starting back up there is a range of normal - so long as the bleeding and spotting starts to spread out and is always moving toward a regular looking cycle it's no problem. If nothing changes and this keeps happening, definitely consult someone or dive deeper yourself!
Hi what should I take to get my mentuation back its nw 3yrs no periods help plz am 43
I got period back after 6 years abscent
About a month ago, pain began in my knees, legs in general, and Sole of the foot, joint and cevical pain. All this accompanied by pain in the lower back and lower stomach, great hunger, acne, livid and cervical mucus. Is body pain normal in recovery? I'm at my old weight I hope my menstruation arrived soon.
I don't speak English so I'm sorry if it's misspelled.
Hey! Although body aches are normal, if you're experiencing extreme symptoms like this that continue past a week or two, get it checked out. But many women do experience a short bout of swelling and tenderness.
@@DaniSheriff I went to a rheumatologist a few months ago, everything went well, and he concluded that I had fibromyalgia 🙄 I know that I do not have fibromyalgia, but I do have osteopenia and osteoporisis, I had anorexia and I lost a lot of muscle, I hope these pains are my muscles repairing. And one more thing, about 6 years ago I was diagnosed with costochondritis, and it has also brought me many problems. 🙄😔
@@mermaid9906 ugh, thats intense. I'm sorry!
Hello, can I ask how is it going now? I'm having the exact same symptoms and i dont know how to go on.. ive extreme random lower back pains and leg pains
@@mermaid9906 I've also been experiencing leg pain occasionally for quite some time, that and urinary incontinence. They're actually the main reasons I want to recover because it's becoming quite an inconvenience in my daily life and I don't want to have osteoporosis especially not at a young age (I'm currently 22)
What to do if my periods did not come till 9-10 months when before that time the flow was very heavy.After that, after taking birth control pills as per doctor's advice, periods came just 2 months ago but they have not come yet..what should i do now?can u please help?
all the signs that u've mentioned i can see in my body...but still i'm a bit worried about that...
I just started tracking my BBT, if my BBT is around 97.2-97.3, would that be considered low, or is that still in the normal range?
It's a little low but it depends. If you're an early riser and taking it between 4-6am it might be normal for you.
@@DaniSheriff I think I checked it at 2 am thinking it was time to wake up. Oops, maybe that explains it. Thank you for responding!
Update! I am on day 5 of my first all natural menstrual cycle in 11 years. I am so overjoyed and thankful to my body for its resilience.
@@rachelvasquez7826 AHHH!! This makes me so happy :)
@@rachelvasquez7826 YAYYY~
During recovery is it okay to be sleeping for around 8 hours but going to bed around 1 am?
Hey Selin, I think it really depends if you have EVERYTHING else in check!
I have the symptom of cervical mucus,but it's watery.It's a sign or what?
Watery mucus is a sign of peak mucus. If your observations are correct, yes it's good!
@@DaniSheriff I got it!!! Thank you for your videos❤️
how did you get your period back pl, help me
@@hkh7826 eat moooooreee,stop exercise+don't worry about weight gain, it's totally normal+don't also worry about the time it may take 2 months or less than a month so take your time and just eat more and I swear it works,I know it's very hard to do it but you can!!
