>Hi. My period has always been really irregular. I am a 15 year old, and a recovered anorexic. I need to be sure that I am not suffering the reprocussions of my disorder. For the last 3 months I have been regular, but then I haven't gotten it this month. My mom is freaking out because she thinks that this could be because of my former disorder, but the truth of the matter is, I have put on weight. So, I am confused. I need to be sure that I am okay and that I can expect my period soon. Is there anyway I could force my period? Can I do anything at all??

Hope, It is very common for a 15 year old female to have irregular periods or skip months here and there, anorexia or not. You can do one of two things: Accept this fact and know that it is not unusual to have irregular cycles at your age or begin birth control pills, which will create montly cycles for you... Lynn
