So I'm wondering about my period. I got my period in 7th grade, November. So early 7th grade. It was the usual bumpy period type deal til the summer or 7th grade, when I started losing a bunch of weight 130 down to 110 all throughout the summer. My period stopped completely. Then I talked to my doctor about it, and she gave me a medicine, multprogesterone or something, and I got a small, light, short period. I gained about 10 lbs in Feb, I ate a lot of dessert on a week long trip. And now, all of a sudden, I gained 10 lbs. I don't know how, I mean, I haven't been exercising too much, but I haven't eaten a ton more than I usually do.
So I'm wondering, since I gained so much weight, and now I'm breaking out ( I got a lot of zits when I was in 8th gr, but went to the derm, now I get zero, and I just got a few [I never do!] ) I'm wondering if maybe i'll get my period. and is this the weight I have to be to get my period??

Lack of body fat will halt menstruation. Women athletes, who compete stop menstruating due to lack of body fat & their cycle returns once they stop. I would have a chat with your doc., he/she needs to take you off your meds. & see if, your cycle returns without them. I'm surprised, you got put on meds. so quickly?! The weight gain can be due to your meds. or water gain due to your period.

Weight can occur in the weeks before a period. That weight gain is mainly water and it is caused by rise in hormone levels but then when the period comes it goes down. I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
