Insulin affects hormonal levels, particularly androgents. By following Atkins, you are greatly reducing the free insulin in your blood and thus affecting hormones. It's also normal to get the fluctuations after a few months and not right away because hormonal changes like this often take a while to happen.
Another thought may be that it's not necessarily Atkins. Lots of women have sudden breakthrough bleeding while on the pill, even if they have been on the pill for years and never had it happen before. Sometimes our bodies just do wierd things that can't really be explained.
