Missing Period? Find out if You Have Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA)
If you have been missing your period for 3+ months and are not:
- on hormonal birth control
- pregnant
- breast feeding
then read this to learn more about Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA)…
What is hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA)?
HA is a disorder in people with periods means chronic anovulatory cycles (and often looks like a totally missing period)
Reminder: anovulation means that ovulation is not occurring
HA can sometimes be confused with PCOS on the surface because both can look like skipped ovulations and missing periods, but they have very different root causes!
Common causes of hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA):
- under-eating
- over-exercise
- low body weight or low body fat
- stress (emotional and/ or physical)
The hypothalamus is on the undersurface of the brain and it normally produces GnRH. GnRH is responsible for signaling the production of hormones that are necessary for ovulation to occur.
When we have HA, the hypothalamus no longer produces GnRH.
