Im 19, and I dont know much about periods. I started having mine when I was about 16, late I guess. And they were regular then, I later at about 17 years of age had an eating disorder that lasted for about until I was 18 1/2. After that my period stopped for a while, like about 6 months it did after i started to lose weight, then all the sudden came once after those 6 months, then about 2 months later it did again, then it stopped for another 4 months then came again,as for this year 2006 i have only had it 3 times.. and the last time i had it was in september 2nd of this year, so i havent seen it since. I am wondering what is wrong with me? I got help for my eating disorder, and I eat better, I know that had something to do with stopping it since I lost weight, but now i eat much better and dont know what could be the problem, last year i had a cyst on my ovary and sometimes still feel a slight pain around there every once in a while, i also am starting to devlop hot flashes and sweat alot...i dont know if its early menopause or what, but id love some advice on what i should do, and i also get regular cramps up and down my leg, muscular cramps, and then sometimes it feel like ill have my period but it never ever comes...

I know that eating disorders can have a big effect on periods, and it sounds like that may be your problem, but to be safe I would go and see a guyno to be sure. Some times it take take a while for your period to get back into a normal cycle..you are not alone... [ grannysays's advice column | Ask grannysays A Question ]
TANNEDxGLAMOURx answered Monday October 16 2006, 2:17 pm: Wow, your period is really irregular. The only thing I can think of is that when you have an eating disorder, or if you're just not eating properly, it can have an effect on your menstral cycle. If I were you I would go see your Gynetologist just to make sure it isn't something serious. [ TANNEDxGLAMOURx's advice column | Ask TANNEDxGLAMOURx A Question ]
