    I think the BEST thing you could do right now is to make an appt to see your doctor. There are many things other than too much exercise that can cause lack of menstruation... And while everyone's different, and it's impossible to tell from your post how much weight you've lost, I guess the amount of exercise you cite doesn't sound excessive.

    Seriously, even if you gave us more details (height, weight, age etc), none of us are in a position to offer you meaningful advice (there are a few doctors on this board I think, but without seeing you, taking a detailed history, tests, etc...) -- and since this is causing you and your husband anguish, and may or may not indicate larger health concerns, you really owe it to yourself to see at least one dr. -- maybe more if this first isn't helpful, or if he/she determines you need to see a specialist.

    I really don't want to sound preachy and hope I haven't come across that way...

    Good luck!

    Edit: Again, I don't want to sound judgemental when I really don't know the situation -- but I find it troubling that your husband is "really upset" with you about this... it seems like, if anything, he should offer you support, understanding, sympathy, not anger -- that seems kind of controlling. Perhaps I'm misreading your post, though.

    Have you had eating disorder issues in the past?

    Sorry, I'm rambling, I felt badly because my post sounded a little harsh, and it sounds like you're going through a rough time.
