No: The best way to have a period in your situation is.... And you knew i was going to say this.... To lose weight. Studies show very clearly that women who aren't having periods due to being heavy have return to regular menstruation and increased fertility with weight loss. Use an app like, my fitness pal, to track our daily calories in and calories out. Good luck!
