Hi,

I understand your concerns but you do not get adequate nutrition. You should eat an average of 1500 calories per day. Also you should be eating food from all classes including vegetables, fruits, carbohydrates, protein, dairy milk and fats. Your period stopped because your ovaries stopped ovulating due to starvation. Without ovulation you can't get pregnant.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
