Hello,
Stress: it is one of the most common reasons for a missed period. ... Women with eating disorders including bulimia or anorexia nervosa may experience an absence of menstruation.
If your body weight is below 10 percent of the normal range for your height, then you might stop ovulating because of hormonal changes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
