I'm not sure why this is happening and the estrogen thing makes sense, but why would a cheat bring it on? Its so weird!!!!

On atkins your hormone levels kind of dip low (the truth is they are starting to normalize), partly because of fat loss and partly because your body is not overproducing insulin anymore.
Production of insulin causes your body to produce other hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, eccessively as well. This is why the cheat helped.
Check out the pcos forum if you are interested, its in the same vein.
