Feeling so lost and discouraged
You might have seen my other posts but I just need to get EVERYTHING out.
I decided to recover like 1.5 months ago, I did it gradually as I knew the all in method would make me feel so ill. I added 100- 200 cals every week and stuck to it, until the 2nd last week when I went to the toilet and I saw spotting.
I was so excited and thought it was my period, I was wrong. I did more research and assumed i was ovulating (i had ALL the signs of ovulation) so I stopped adding food (would've been 300 extra cals) and waited and waited all the 16 days for my period to come, and nothing. It's the 16th day today and I feel so upset, I got my hopes so high for nothing.
And another thing that confused me was it happend when I hasn't finished adding calories, i waa probably on 1800 (My nutritionist told me to have 2100 based on my age and height) so I know its not anything to do with me not eating 2500.
Ive looked at other posts on here and I guess it was a 'follicular wave'.
So what does this mean? Should I add the extra calories? Are they necessary?
Ive also expirenced more stress, it was quite alot but i only was stressing for a couple days.
But i just feel so discouraged like i had so much hope and it all crashed down.
