Within 2 months, Yovana got her period back but it was very irregular. But she said she thought her body had to take time to heal, so she was patient with it. After about a year, she stopped getting her period again. This time, she hadn’t had her period for about 5 months before getting checked again. By this point, it was 2017 and her hormones were still not good and she wasn’t ovulating. “I was basically anemic,” Yovana said.
