A member asked:
I have been on a low carb diet x 3 weeks and now cramping and spotting between periods. normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Any change in diet, especially if there is substantial weight loss, can affect ovulation and therefore irregular bleeding. In many cases this is temporary, especially if you are on some form of hormonal contraception. It is also possible that this is unrelated and due to other reasons. In that instance it will probably continue and would need to be evaluated.
