A member asked:
At what bmi will my periods return after being anorexic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's variable: But generally requires a body weight at least 104# or above. The longer you've had the problem, the longer it will take to resolve. Plus, if you're 48 years old, you may have already entered menopause and periods may never return to "normal". Check w/your doctor.
