The loss of your period (for three consecutive months) is called Amenorrhea. When this occurs due to loss of weight it means that the person who this is affecting is unable to bear children. This means that you won't get pregnant.

yes, you can still get pregnant, but theres a pretty good chance that the baby can have something wrong with it because of the eating disorder.If you have one you should get help, its not good for you at all, it just makes your body worse.And it can affect the baby too if you are pregnant.Hope i could help you out!

No. Your period happens when an egg is ready to be fertilized, but doesn't get fertilized. If you are not having your period, this means that you have no eggs that can be fertilized. Therefore, you cannot get pregnant.

They COULD get pregnant, but probably would have a miscarriage within the first month or two for being malnourished.


I highly doubt the child would survive an entire 9 months in the body of a woman with an eating disorder.

even if your not getting you periods of a eating disorder theres probably something really wrong with you. a perosn with a eating disorder will have a harder time carring a baby to term and if they do the baby could have problems.

It would be really hard for a malnourished person to carry a child to term. If you're starving yourself, the baby starves, too. There is still always the chance of getting pregnant regardless though.

It's not very likely that you'll get pregnant if you aren't getting your period, although there is always a risk. Athletes usually have to take time off their sport if they want to get pregnant as they have to wait for their periods to start again {heavy sport causes them to stop}. So I suspect that it is similar with eating disorders.
