[quote=Anonymous]My gyn. and the first doctor I saw felt my weight is fine (5ft 100lbs). Dr. Nair said gaining some weight would be good but not exercising was more important.  (I might be a touch thinner now than I was when I saw the other two just due to not being in the midst of holiday drinking and sweets eating.) Objectively, I'm thin ish but have a healthy BMI.  But, no, I don't get my period.  I am 35 and stopped getting my period in college (quick weight loss that was not done healthfully).  I went on the pill a year after losing my period and other than a two year break (when I had gained some weight and thought I'd try to see if my period would come back ... which it did not) have been on it until Thanksgiving.  (Another concern I have is being off too long ... the estrogen was definitely related to some positive gains in bone mass over the years.)

I know that my running is too rigid (very anxious if I don't) and that cutting down would help me live a more balanced normal lifestyle.  I am all for switching some 8 mile runs for some 5 mile runs and taking at least one full rest day a week.  The question I am asking myself is whether or not to go cold turkey.  I wish someone could tell me if it would bring back my period and all would be well.  But I am sure we all wish easy answers were out there and that's just not the way it is![/quote]
