Lost my period

Hi all,

My period which was very regular until now has failed to make its appearance this month.

I weighed in at 134 this morning. At 5'9", (23f) this is within the healthy weight range of 126-170. My SW was 157 pounds in mid-August. I have steadily been losing weight the past 4 months for a total of about 20-23 pounds lost. I eat about 2000 calories per day which has me losing at a nice rate because I am so active. I read online that sudden weight loss can stop a period. Is this sudden? I feel like I eat wayyyy more than other people here so it could not be sudden.

Is losing your period dangerous? Have people who lost their period gotten it back while remaining at the same weight (in other words, is my body just adjusting)? Does this mean I am lighter than my body wants to be and should sit at 140ish where I still had my period? Is it possible that some people are healthier somewhere within the BMI range and not at the bottom? I used to lose my period as a teenage swimmer regularly during the swim season but I never thought much of it. I want to get pregnant someday (not soon) and I don't want to hurt my fertility.

Thanks!
