Hi,
I have not had a period in >7months...I just saw my MD and got a bone density test, which showed osteopenia (I am only 29). I am not stupid or in denial so I will admit that my amenorrhea is secondary to low body fat %...I am ready to get my act together, gain some lbs and stop over-training...but my doctor wants me to go on the pill...I really want to get my period naturally, but not sure how realistic this is and as each month goes by without a period, am I doing more and more harm? Does anyone have advice for me? How does the pill affect performance? I am looking to be pretty competitive this year, and do not want the pill to screw with me...she recommended Apri. Thanks in advance. I will also post on regular tri forum. Thanks...
