Eph Helped ....

I experienced Amenorrhea for about 7 months once I quit taking Ephedra last April, cold turkey. Sure enough, my body was in shock. I had all kinds of tests done and everything was fine; thyroid, homones, no explanation for this. As soon as I started my ECA stack this month, its back!

All comments appreciated.....

some info, hope it helps.

Causes of amenorrhea:

Generalized pubertal delay

Constitutional delay

Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism

Turner syndrome

Gonadal dysgenesis with mosaic karyotype

Pure gonadal dysgenesis (Perrault syndrome, Swyer syndrome)

Gonadotropin-resistant ovary syndrome

Acquired causes, eg, high-dose alkylating chemotherapy, pelvic radiation, and autoimmune oophoritis

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism

Chronic conditions, eg, starvation, excessive exercise, depression, psychological stress, marijuana use, Crohn disease, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, thalassemia major, HIV infection, renal disease, thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus, and anorexia nervosa

Slow-growing central nervous system (CNS) tumors, eg, adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, meningiomas, and pituitary microadenomas

Abnormal hypothalamic development, eg, Kallman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome

Acquired miscellaneous disorders, eg, infiltration disorders (sarcoidosis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, syphilis, tuberculomas), ischemia disorders (caused by trauma, aneurysm, obstruction of the aqueduct of Sylvius), and destruction (concentrated high-dose radiation exposure)

Normal puberty

Associated with hyperandrogenicity, eg, polycystic ovary syndrome, late-onset 21-hydroxylase deficiency (nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia), immaturity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, Cushing disease, androgen-producing ovarian or adrenal tumors, and ovarian stromal hypertrophy

Associated with absence of hirsutism or virilization, eg, immaturity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and pregnancy

Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, eg, ovarian failure, high-dose alkylating chemotherapy, pelvic radiation, and autoimmune oophoritis

Anomalies of the genital tract

Mullerian agenesis, eg, Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome

Congenital or acquired anatomic obstruction, eg, imperforate hymen, transverse vaginal septum, Asherman syndrome, and endometrial destruction due to severe infection

Glad to hear it's back. Amenorria for any period of time is detrimental to your bone health and severly increases your risk for osteoperosis in the future.

Why are you glad to hear it's back?


And if you are experiencing these symptons when taking ECA, maybe it's time to stop and try something else.

Glad to hear her period is back- for the reason I stated. Amenorria is a serious health issue in the long term.

OH!!!!!!

I mis-understood, I thought she meant that the Amenorria was back when she took the ECA!

Sorry, I'm a guy I wasn't following, lol
