extension of menstrual cycle on LC?
Hi all… This may be TMI so please stop reading if you’re easily grossed out…
Yes it’s a slightly awkward question. I started low carb on december 26. I’m on the Pill. I got my period like normal 3 1/2 weeks ago while I was on the placebo. Stopped the placebo to continue my regular pill. I got about halfway through the first week, then started spotting. I’ve been "spotting" for the past two weeks, but it’s been really dark, more like lining than anything else.
Uh… has this happened to anybody else? Any suggestions, or just call the doc?

I don’t know if it is a coincidence, but I started cycling every two weeks on the dot after I started Atkins. I’m 49, so it may just be a coincidence. At any rate, I’m going to the doctor next week to see what’s going on.
Hang in there!
