What Causes Weight Gain While Experiencing Severe Anxiety?

Information
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
When a woman has gone without a period for 3 months we start to investigate what might be going on. But the first step, and even sooner than 3 months, is to give a short course of a progestin such as Provera. If there has been enough estrogen present, which is usually the case, then in a day or two after you finish the Provera, you will have a withdrawal bleed menstrual period. This will likely relieve the symptom you are having.
For a variety of reasons such as stress, the body doesn't actually ovulate when it is supposed to. Then the body stays in a sort of state of limbo of trying to ovulate but not and the normal hormonal cycle doesn't take place.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information.
