Monica's hypothalamus is not producing enough gonadotropin releasing hormones/factors, consequently her anterior pituitary (AP) production of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) have decreased below normal levels. Because not enough gonadotropins is available, the follicles and the ova have failed to restart their development to maturity. Therefore, there is no ovulation. Because there is no ovulation and no mature, secreting ovm the plasma levels of estrogen and progesterone have fallen. As a consequence, the the hormonal feed-back loop to the hypothalamus failed -- so there is little or no GnRH secretion , little or no LH and FSH secretion, and normal cycling failed because there is no follicle cohort progression, no ovarian maturity, and ovulation. If Monica cuts down on her extremely vigorous exercise regime and eats a diet with a more fats, her weight will return to normal, her amount of body fat will increase, and her normal ovarian cycling will resume.
