 yep that's normal, we have the same problem, my doctor said that our reproductive cycle is not fully develop, jst wait for sometime and everything will be normal. But in my case, ive been into therapy, and its effective, you should try it too.

Yes, I'm afraid that is the reason. Girls don't usually start having periods until they reach about 8 stone. Even when you have started your periods, if you dip much below 8 stone they will stop again. This is because your body knows that you are not strong enough to carry a baby to term, so it stops that from happening by shutting down your reproductive cycle.
You need to pay a visit to your doctor to talk about what has caused this drastic weight loss and what can be done about it.
