Dr. Nicola Rinaldi, lead author of No Period. Now What? (NPNW) has been helping women with hypothalamic amenorrhea (no period) recover their missing cycles, and get pregnant if they so desire, for over a decade. It is worth reading NPNW first so that you understand the basics, but if you’d like advice tailored to your specific situation, Dr. Nico can help!
