Hypothalamic Amenorrhea: Understanding Cycle Irregularities & Weight Gain for Fertility

Question
hi,
I used to get my periods regularly but after the birth of my now, soon to be 6 yr old, I was had 40 day cycles and now have not had a period for almost a year.

Like Jana, the other question you answered, I do not look thin at at all.  I exercise 5 days a week for about an hour, doing mostly cardio.  

Can you recommend a plan to gain wieght so i can mentruate again. I want to get pregnant.  We did super ovulation and iui but that did not even work.  

I want to gain wieght but not get too "soft."

THanks,
Melanie

Answer
Hi Melanie,
Thank you for your question.
you can start eating more to gain weight.But eat the proper foods-more protein and carbohydrates.
Protein-turkey,tuna,chicken.
Carbs-pasta,potatoes,rice.
Workout with weights also to build more muscle.
Make sure to always keep hydrated.
Thank you,
Good luck,
