Maybe you haven’t lost your period; you never started getting it in the first place. What should you do?
Dr. Jennifer Guadiani advises that you get a really thoughtful medical workup. She details the questions regarding your history that you should be prepared to answer, and suggests tests that a health practitioner may want to run.

Recovering from RED-S / REDs is hard. It’s even harder if you’re working through it alone. Even if you have professional support, they’re not available 24-7, and that can lead to going down search engine rabbit holes that have the potential to derail everything.
