Yes, it can make you not have your period. If you have lost your period to anorexia, you need medical help yesterday. It indicates that your body overall is starving itself and you are going to put yourself at risk of permanent health problems.

Anorexia has a high mortality rate with most dying from a heart attack. Have you heard enough?

There are many symptoms for anorexia, some individuals may not experience all of they symptoms. The symptoms include: Body weight that is inconsistent with age, build and height (usually 15% below normal weight).
Some other symptoms of anorexia are:
*
Loss of at least 3 consecutive menstrual periods (in women).
*
Not wanting or refusing to eat in public
* Anxiety
* Weakness
* Brittle skin
* Shortness of breath
* Obsessiveness about calorie intake
There are many medical risks associated with anorexia. They include: shrunken bones, mineral loss, low body temperature, irregular heartbeat, permanent failure of normal growth, development of osteoporosis and bulimia nervosa.
Continued use of laxatives is harmful to the body. It wears out the bowel muscle and causes it to decrease in function. Some laxatives contain harsh substances that may be reabsorbed into your system.
n order to have a healthy child, the average pregnant woman should gain between 25 and 35 pounds. Telling this to a person with anorexia is like telling a normal person to gain 100 pounds. If you are anorexic, you may have trouble conceiving a baby and carrying it to term. Irregular menstrual cycles and weak bones make it more difficult to conceive. If you are underweight and do not eat the proper variety of foods, you and your baby could be in danger.
Women with eating disorders have higher rates of miscarriages and your baby might be born prematurely which puts them at risk for many medical problems.
All pregnant women should receive proper prenatal care. Those recovering from anorexia or bulimia need special care. You should always take your prenatal vitamins and have regular prenatal visits. You should not exercise unless your doctor says it is okay and it is a good idea to enroll in a prenatal exercise class to be sure you are not overexerting yourself.

Anorexia can be overcome.

With proper care, you can overcome your eating disorder and have a healthy child.
Yes, it very well can. Your body fat level is a huge component when it comes to your period. You will not have a cycle if your body fat levels are not high enough. This is a well know condition called secondary amenorrhoea. A hormone is released in the brain, this is called the GnRh, and it regulated your cycle. Factors that can stop this hormone from being released are stress, body weight, and body composition. If these factor are controlled the cycles will become regular. If you are anorexic and not experiencing a cycle right now you could be doing harmful damage to your reproductive system. Not receiving your period for a long time, will greatly affect your chances of being able to conceive a baby. I advice that you seek help from a medical professional immediately if you are suffering from this condition. Good luck.
Yes, also in long term even if get period can make you impossible to have children. I have a friend that can't have children because when teen and even older was a recurrent anorexic. it affect your body more than you think.
