Hi,

Rapid drop in weight can cause menses not to show up. please, using aggressive measures to bring about drastic weight loss is not always the best idea. Go with progressive and gentle methods. Your weight being on the low side and you driving it even further lower is not the best approaches.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
