What was it like to lose your period due to being underweight?

[u/Lexi204]

I think I've lost mine, my period used to be extremely heavy, like I'd be soaked through my pants if I have an ultra tampon in for more than an hour and a half. But then I've lost a bit of weight (Healthy amount. I went from 125 at 5'9 to 120) and my period got lighter. However the past few months I lost 10 lbs and my period has been a bit of bleeding but nothing. This period was the lightest ever and I bled for maybe 20 minutes over 5 days. I still had excrutiating cramps (I have endometriosis) but that was it. Is this what it's like to lose your period? Should I gain weight? Thank you!
