Q: Underdeveloped Ovaries

I have been battling Anorexia with Bulimis Tendencies for five years now. Last year I stopped having my period for six months so the doctors recommended an ultra sound. When i did the ultra sound the nurse told me that I had large gaps in between my ovaries and other parts. She said i was under developed. I am fifteen now. I also asked her a rather odd question. When i do get my period I always get a lot of gas as wierd as that may be. She said it was because of the spaces. I am the shortest one in my family and have only grown one bra size since 4th grade and i am now in the 10th grade. I am now 5 ft 5 in but my mom is 5 ft 9 in and my dad is 6 ft 3 in. Now one is my family that is fully grown is shorter then 5 ft 7 in.

My questions are these. Could i have stinted my growth? Is there a chance if I eat right and follow the food plan my doctor gave me that I will grow to my full potential? If my Ovaries never fully develope will this lower my chances of getting pregnant when I am older? Can Hormonal levels determine if I am still growing? If I do follow the food plan do I have achance for my breasts to get bigger?
