Low carb diets and spotting between periods?

[lottieandmia]

Has anyone else experienced this? I've never spotted between periods before and as soon as I started Atkins induction I started spotting. I missed a pill and it seemed to be much worse than usual (I'm on the pill).

I was a bit worried but I had a smear not even 2 months ago which was normal with no sign of HPV. I googled it and it seems a lot of people have had this when starting a low carb diet. I will go to the GP anyway though.

I haven't spotted but my period seems to drag on longer, is heavier and my pmt is worse. I'm not as regular either.
It is getting me down but I love every other part of the low carb WOE so I put up with it.

There seems to be about it on low carb forums etc. I missed one of my pills and got something like a period! It is annoying but I am really feeling the benefits of this diet - I have energy like never before and find that I sleep better at night and wake up refreshed. This is a totally new thing.

I have had the inplant and not had a period for 18 months.. However I have now been having a period for nearly two weeks!! There must be a connection..

I get this as well whenever low carbing.
