If you already have your period and your become anorexic or bulimic, can you stop having your period?
yes, it definitely can stop your period. The female hormone estrogen (the hormone that starts you periods), is stored in the fat of your body. For this reason, you must have body fat to get your period, so rapid and unsafe weight lose of that kind will stop your period and increase your chance if infertility.

It’s caused by a body’s reaction to anorexia/bulimia, which means a lack of hormone function and a starving body. It’s not permanent, and can return when a person starts eating a healthy diet.

Yes it can stop your period. Stress on the body alone can stop periods (the stress being not taking in enough nutrients for your body to function correctly).
