Has anyone had problems w/their menstrual cycle? I've been on the pill for a while now (years & years), and have remained on them even though they pose a risk in slowing my weight loss, due to having PCOS.

Anyhoo, I started spotting a little over a week before my cycle scheduled to start and was a little worried. I called my dr. and he said that it is probably due to starting Atkins 2 1/2 weeks ago. My period seems to be "meaner" than usual too.


Has anyone else had problems similar to this while on Atkins? Will it go back to normal? I'm just really confused as to why my b/c pills couldn't control the spotting and why it's so "mean" this time.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
