i have been on CD for 4 weeks now and have been on my P for 3 of this...
i have had this problem before on Atkins diet so i am guessing it is ketosis related!?!?
anyone with more info?
thanks

Hi

I am no expert on this but losing weight does affect your monthly cycle. Did you have irregular periods before? I would say go see your Doc as that amount of bleeding could possibly make you go anaemic. Personally I am on the pill so my periods are regular as clockwork on CD - not sure how they would be if I wasn't on it though.

If you are on pill it could be a pill problem... Maybe you need to change brand? Have you been on the same pill for ages?

You've lost close to 2 stone in 3 weeks. That is bound to have an effect. It might not even be the ketosis - just the dramatic changes in your body chemistry from such rapid weight loss.

I would definitely say have a word with your CDC or doctor as you need a bit of advice that it is not a problem. Sure you willl be fine but better to check.

And grats on losing all that weight.

I got mine in Jan but nothing in Feb, let's see now in March!

Has this happened to anybody? (And I'm not pregnant)
