I've had issues recently with TOM. I'm on week 3 and have not weighed for fear of the scale being much higher. I'm on the pill and have just started the green pills in week 3 so I'm hoping Sunday when I start a new pack, TOM will be gone. Have any of you noticed TOM problems since you've been on this diet. I've had these problems in the past and am just wondering if it's related to my diet or if there is something else wrong. My doctor keeps changing my pills every 3 months or so to find a pill that works. But...so far...Nothing. Do you think for the entire 3 weeks I've been bloated and probably wouldn't have accurate reading ono the scale. My tummy feels so hard. That's never a good sign.

Since this WOL I have had less problems with TOM. I think your Dr. is causing your problems. That is too much switching back and forth.

Switching pills will throw off your estrogen and progesterone and all the other lovely hormones in your system. Couple that w/this WOL and your bound to have a crazy cycle.

This WOL alone will cause some irregularities in your cycle at first. I believe it happens due to a release of estrogen into your system (as well as other hormones)-- it's stored in fat cells-- when you lose fat, they're released. They don't know their place yet b/c your body is still adjusting to this WOL. Once you've adjusted, things will return to normal. My first cycle was a week early and stayed for two even though I'm on Ortho Tri-Cyclen (and have been for a while).

Hang in there. However, if things don't improve, I'd place a *friendly* call to your doc to have him get your meds figured out.
