Well I've gone to the doctors and they said me not having my period is because of weight gain and said no further test needed to be done at the time.but trying to lose weight is hard for me,so I'm trying to find a way around it.I bleed very little every once in a while but its not even enough to get on my pantyliner.what can I do to regain my normal period?

You didn't say how much of a weight gain it was. Excess weight loss or gain can indeed cause a halt in the menstrual cycle. There is no quick fix to get your period back.

Well it was excess weight gain it was about 40lbs and its not so much that I want my period back sooner I just want another option on how to get it back.

Just a thought but have you been checked for polycystic ovarian syndrome?
It can cause weight gain as well as very irregular periods.

No I have not so far,but I'm starting to see that as another very good option.ive been doing a little bit of research on that and it wouldn't hurt to get that checked.thanks so much for your help:):):)
