Massage and cream (with caffein) can help wonders as well. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Could you please tell me where I can read more about that? -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

I know about this because I'm recovering from bulimia and have read a lot about eating disorders and low body fat and fertility come up a lot in those readings. Also remember that if you have your period (should have every 28-30 days with the first day of your period being day 1), it doesn't mean that you ovulated. Ovulation is a sign of balanced hormones and fertility.
