Ladies, I just posted a similar thread on another board because I was trying to find out how many others on a Low Carb diet experienced this.
Here's what I've found (I think it was on the Atkins website):
Bleeding mid-cycle is not unusual during the first few months of low carbing. From what I recall, it has to do with the fact that estrogen is stored in fat cells, so when we burn fat we release stored estrogen, thus tricking the body into 'delivering the monthly periodicals'.
Someone posted a link, above, which I haven't read yet, but I'm looking forward to checking it out.
I guess I'm not alone!!!
