unfortunately you will have to go through that 'puffy' period to get your menstrual cycle and hormones back and balanced. this is all part of recovery and it will happen when/ if you get your period back. I really advice you go to an actual amenorrhea specialist and not a general doctor because your lifestyle atm is unlikely to get your period back. The book 'no period now what?' is literally a bible for those recovering from ED's and amenorrhea and if you follow the advice, you will get it back. BUT you will go through a difficult stage of bloat and being uncomfortable in your body as you heal, restore your body to its proper weight and constitution and your hormones switch back on. So running away from it all, is just slowing the process. But also so is relying on HRT. Thats not an actual period.
I’m aware of everything you’re mentioning xx It’s just freeing for my mind that I don’t have to remind myself every, single day to eat them + stress about it if I forget to. As mentioned in both this video and the previous one, starting the treatment was only as a kickstarter and not for something for my body to rely on. Now I found a healthy state in which I try my best yo keep my body and mind at. So far it’s going great! I’ve heard about the book and I found it super interesting! I just need to get myself to buy it!
Thank you for @ne5464 mentioning the book "No period now what", it really shows why you can't have cycle if you have HA and still over excercise. I personally have suffered this for 5 years and only now I have had to admit to myself that I cannot heal if I don't quit running although I have been eating really well this past year. I recommend to take this step sooner than later with excercise, it just gets more difficult the more you delay it...😕
@@Iyshima yes, I also delayed for years. Constant justifying and excuses, couldn’t understand why I didn’t get period back despite being weight restored. It’s very under- studied by medical professionals so they will likely give you generic advice that ends up doing more harm than good. Or just diagnose with PCOS 🤦🏻♀️. Only until I saw specialists in HA and eating disorders did I recover. But everyone is on their own journey, it just takes so much longer if you are still clinging to detrimental behaviours. Even just general stress can have a huge impact on your period returning which also affected mine. Good luck and just dive in, you will get to the other side. don’t waste any more life. This is just a season that you will look back on with such pride and gratitude for yourself xx
I cross my fingers for you to recover your natural period without the hormonal treatment. If you don’t, it probably means your body fat mass still isn’t enough, and you’ll have to keep strong and fighting in order to help your body produce enough estrogen💪🏻Going back to the hormonal treatment will not be a permanent solution, (it only tricks your brain with estrogen from a pill but doesn’t make you produce it) and helps prevent osteoporosis. ❤
@@leniolesch896 the best thing to do is ask this question to your gynecologist. They have to explain to you the reason why they precribed you the pill, and the mecanism behind the treatment (and maybe even why induced menstruation is not natural and may even be counterproductive to the return of natural period for girls who struggle to regain weight).
@@cuisineensceneblog I will do so in my next appointment. I did. my research after the initial appointment and there are so many questions. Btw I’m not on the pill. It’s actually more a HRT you get for menopause. There’s no contraception with the hormones I take. I have an estrogene creme and a gestagene pill.
i HAVE to break it to you: with those hormones or without, once you get your period back you'll be facing those uncomfy symptoms, plus i really think you should quit the gym for a little while, even if you feel like you're doing it with the right intention and not overdoing it, your body is clearly not ready for it
I’ve never felt as amazing as I do now. Both in the gym and outside of it. I’m aware I’ll face the symptoms with or without taking the hormonal pills. But I just feel a lot more free and less stress when I don’t have to remind myself to take them every single day. I do what my doctor tells me to :)
If your body is producing enough hormones to produce a natural period… you will most likely have similar symptoms to the HRT…if they are administering correct dose of hormones… the premise is to maintain strong bones and a healthy body that can nurture a baby… if you plan to have children (even if in the future) see a specialist now. I hated the side effects… the physical ones were bad enough but the emotional were unbearable… laughing one minute, crying the next… I felt crazy!!
Believe me, I’m aware I’ll feel like that again! But it’s just so freeing to be rid of having to take them every, single night because now I don’t have to stress about it i forget it xx

5:50, I'm sad you've gone the route of sponsorships like these... I know it's to earn a lil' of your content, but it just doesn't seem that positive to provide sponsored ads on recovery videos of an eating disorder, if you get me? I'm sure I'm not the only one having these thoughts.
Not every single video I post Is related to my recovery journey - like this one. I’d like for you to understand that it’s not my entire identity. In this video, I talk about travel planning, film photos etc and especially an important sponsorship like this one which is an essential and important thing for me to share with you - because I genuinely support it. I Hope you’re able to see beyond my recovery, Ed history and remember that it’s not my identity (both in real life and online :))
What the heck is wrong with her having a sponsor?? Geez! She puts so much time and effort into her videos and her channel is not solely ED recovery. In fact, that is only a very small part of it. Katharina, grab ALL the sponsors you can! You deserve the support ❤❤
