Give Your Body What It Needs, Period Returns Naturally
Things I did to get my period back after 16 years: - Gained 25 pounds on purpose - Stopped running - Ate 2,500+ calories a day - Added carbs back - 7-8 hours of sleep - Reduced my exercise intensity (temporarily) - Stopped fasting - Worked on nervous system regulation No medication. No intervention. Just gave my body what it needed. It took time but my period came back and I conceived naturally three times. Your body doesn't want to be stuck. It wants to heal. You just have to get out of its way.
