This will be your guide to recovering your period from Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA). What is Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA)? HA is a form of missing periods that happens when your brain suppresses your reproductive hormones in response to stress — often from under eating, overexercising, losing weight, or experiencing extreme emotional or physical stressor a combo of all of it! The hypothalamus, a part of your brain that regulates hormones, stops sending the signals needed for ovulation and a healthy menstrual cycle. As a result, estrogen drops, ovulation doesn’t happen, and your period disappears. This isn’t your body being broken — it’s actually doing exactly what it’s designed to do: conserve energy in times of perceived threat or scarcity. HA is common in athletes, people with eating disorders or disordered eating, those under chronic stress, or anyone whose body isn’t getting enough energy to support both basic functions and reproduction
