I've got my share of experience with this, no period since the age of 17 when I had some eating disorders (severe calorie restriction). Then I started sports and ate (much) more, but my period didn't return... Last year I even reduced the training and gained weight deliberately (up to 57kg on a 165cm frame), I ate lots of carbs and fat... This year I dropped the weight again cos I got frustrated with feeling "fat" and if it doesn't help anyway... why suffer...
Still, I think it's a serious issue, I'm worried but somehow I push it to the back of my mind...
Anyway, would be interesting to hear about any possible remedies (that don't involve birth control pills).

The non-bcp remedy is maintaining a healthy weight and eating enough. It sounds like you're still suffering from an eating disorder a bit?

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.

Well I'm eating loads actually (but burning a lot too); my current weight is healthy I think (53-54kg) and, as I said, last year it was even higher with 57kg, which was my (futile) attempt to get my period back... Since even that didn't help, I kind of gave up... Maybe my body has "unlearnt" it forever after my former eating disorder...
