Bulimia recovery: when should periods return?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bulimia/ periods: It is common to stop your periods with weight 25% below ideal body weight. Once your adequate weight is established, your periods should return, but different bodies take different times to recuperate. If you feel your weight is adequate, but periods do not start, see your gynecologist or pcp to get a medical evaluation and hormone levels.
