Just wondering if anyone has experienced any mid-cycle bleeding? I've been on the pill for quite some time now and have had absolutely NO problems in the past. My cycle is like clockwork. The only time I've ever been pregnant is immediately after I've gotten off the pill.
I started the low carb diet almost 2 weeks ago right after the last day of my period. I woke up this morning to a mid-cycle bleed. I'm baffled. This has never happened to me. Just wondering exactly what to point my finger at.
I had this as well. It started in December with heavy spotting. My last cycle started a full week early and...forgive me for the gross extra detail...I've been able to express breastmilk. This would not be unusual except that I stopped breastfeeding in September, 2000.
I've seen my dr. and my prolactin levels are normal and he says he has seen this side effect with prolonged pilluse.
Here is my definitely non-medical opinion. When you are controlling your insulin, a hormone, the other hormones in your body are going to be affected. Apparently for women on the pill, a common side effect seems to be mid-cycle bleeds.
I have this problem!!!! I am on the pill with another week and a half worth of pills to take, but i started lightly bleeding - enough to be annoying - last week. I don't get it, but i am still taking the pill.
My 2nd son was born in June and I breastfed until September and then went on the pill. So this is my 4th month back on the pill and everything has been peachy and predictable, until I started LCing. I wondered if there might be a correlation. I wonder if I am going to still get my period at the regular time? Hmmmmm.... Have to wait and see, I guess.
I only have one medical answer as far as the mid-cycle bleeding as I just asked my doctor this during my last pap. Because since this summer I have had this, and more so after low carbing. So, I have no idea how the low carbing or higher protein has caused it. But the mid-cycle bleeding I have is also like clockwork. My doctor explained to me that I bleed during ovulation that is why and to not worry. I was worrying about cancer and such once it started because it had NEVER happened before. So, there must be some corrolation with the LC diet, but I have no answer, just the ovulation bleeding.
Well, it's been 9 days now... still bleeding. And it's not spotting, it's heavy like a normal period. I'm actually supposed to start my period next week.
I did call my doctor and they said that they doubt it's because of the diet but maybe because I've lost weight. Now... I've lost weight before and never had this happen. I'm not sure what's going on. They said that if I bleed for over 10 days to come in and they will give me something to stop the bleeding. She also said she doubted I'd get it again at my normal time.
Thanks for your messages! I'll let you know what the doc says.
My opinion: As long as you are taking your pills as you should you won't get pregnant (or at least its as effective as the drug company says...97-99%) so I wouldn't think you need to worry about that!
By the way, when mine started a week early, it was a full bleed and continued on right past the day I would have started...I bled for almost 12 days straight. Not pleasant!!!!
I had the same experience. My period was 2 weeks away but I felt a little cramping over a few weeks. Then 14 days later after starting my new pack, bam, I had my period. I'm tri-cycling, which means I take 3 packs of pills back to back, skipping the placebos and then stop for a week, get my period and I'm off again. But I had just had my period a pack before and wasn't schedule for it to return again for 2 months. Guess it decided to come early. I had dropped 11 pounds and attributed it to the fat loss. I just started a new pack on that following Sunday thinking that would be easier than trying to finish my old pack. But I did have that first LC period for like 10 days, which is a whole 6 days longer than usual. My period wasn't as aggressively crampy as it used to be but I experienced cramping for the whole period which I never used to. I also bled a lot more. I haven't had a period like that since I was 12. Very weird. I have my fingers crossed that my next one will be on time and regular. I must say at first I thought I was pregnant because the cramping was so unexpected. I raced out and bought a pregnancy test. It was all so weird.
Just wanted to share: Let me first say that about 9 years ago I lost 65 pounds doing Jenny Craig while I was not taking the pill and had no cycle problems at all. I've been on the pill for 6 years now (with no problems) and for the first two cycles after I started Atkins I had mid-cycle bleeding at least a week early and that just started my period. Since then, no problems. I figure it must have been some sort of enzyme/hormone change because I'm still losing weight and taking the pills, but I'm back to normal cycles now.
OK, I started the Atkins diet and the following week i started bleeding. At first, it started out like spotting, but then it turned into a full blown heavy bleed. ( Sorry for the gorey details.) I finally called my OBG after 2 weeks of this and they prescribed Premarin. I am 32, so it's not like it's the big M or anything. I continued to bleed through the day that I was supposed to start my period ( which was the 13th, like clockwork.) Now it is finally slowing and I am to start my next pack of pills (tri-cycle) on Sunday, the 17th. My OBG also said that it had nothing to do with the LC diet. But I'm not convinced after reading all of the above. I guess I'll just have to see how next cycle goes.
Thanks for all of the sharing ladies.
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.
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!!!
Well, after bleeding for 10 days it stopped. Only to start again in 2 days. Bled for 5 days. It actually stopped today.
Went to see the doc and she said that it could definately be because of the diet. To just watch what I eat for the next month and not watch the carbs. We'll see next month if it's the pills that need changed or if it was the diet.
I don't think that I could go through bleeding half the month next month too.
2/1/2002 - About 3 weeks after end of Jan period; lasted 8 days; 4 days longer than normal.
2/16/2002 - I've only taken 12 of my 21 pills and I've already gotten it again.
Seriously, what's happening? I tri-cycle so I should only have it every 3 months.
Am I losing too much fat?
It has to be the diet! I've never had this problem before. I started LC on 13th Jan this year. My last period came one and half weeks early and lasted about 3-4 days - was not as heavy as usual but was definately a full period. My sugar pills were due to start that weekend but, as I had a conference the next week, decided to skip them and miss my main period. I'd been suffering such bad PMS that I didn't want to sit through 3 days of conference with cramps. Well - it didn't work! On the Wednesday I started out with a shocking headache and by Thursday I had the headache AND a full period AGAIN. I was not impressed, I can tell you! I stopped the pill after I realised that it definately was the full period. Obviously my hormones are up the creek!
It is so nice to know that this is common on LC. I will bear with it as I am enjoying losing the weight. As long as I know it might happen I will be ready for it if it happens again.
What a relief to know others are going through the same as me. I started on the Atkins diet at the start of this year and have had mid cycle bleeding this month. It went away and I have now been on for 11 days. It started with 6 days light spotting, went into my normal period which lasted 3 days and then has returned to light spotting. I am seeing my GP on Thursday but I will be able to mention some of these comments to her. I have been worrying myself sick over the cause - to the point where I am considering coming off the diet and going back to calorie counting!
With estrogen being stored in fat, and this woe burns fat, throwing all the fat and estrogens and who knows what all into the blood stream, logic says that as long as our periods are royally messed up, we're losing fat!
Add me to the list of "doing the woe correct!"

Star Trek: The Original Series books
science fiction, hollow planet
The Enterprise encounters--you'll never guess--a hollow asteroid that is really a spaceship with people inside who don't know that there's an outside world. Meanwhile, the ship gets stuck, Klingons show up to threaten them, and in the end Kirk confronts something like a god-computer.
Yeah, it's not really original, in the larger motions of the plot. However, the little details are done very well. The society in the asteroid is interesting, the mysteries are intriguing, and the sense of danger and urgency is convincing. Even though part of the urgency is provided by a literal ticking time bomb, it's well handled. An enjoyable book.
In the author's note at the end, Haldeman writes that this is "probably [his] last Star Trek book":
Since this is probably my last Star Trek book, I ought to take a page and thank the people who helped me with both of them: the Science Fiction League of Iowa Students, especially Sue Weinberg, who helped keep my stories consistent with the TV series (I was overseas when most of it was aired); Miss Sheila Clark, who supplied authentic dialect for Scotty; Dr. Gregory Benford, who helped me figure out what happens to bodies of water inside a planetoid such as the one in World Without End; Gay and Sydny, for quiet patience; Gene Roddenberry, who not only let me take liberties with his creations, but even suggested a few.
World Without End (1979-02), 149
In fact, Haldeman didn't want to write this Trek book, but he couldn't get out of his contract:
The end result was that I really enjoyed writing Planet of Judgment, and finished it in three months. Writing World Without End was like pulling your own teeth, and it took nine months. (Oddly enough, I've met people who liked the second book better. I certainly worked harder on it!)
Voyages of Imagination: The Star Trek Fiction Companion (2006-11-14)
Count me among those who liked the second book better!
Also, good odds on that Sheila Clark being this Sheila Clark , yeah?
Chatper 5
The teaser at the beginning is headed "attack of the mutant clones". That's promising.
And here we have a hollowed-out asteroid with people inside. Where have we seen that before?
Weird format. This is a summary of the meeting from the previous chapter, as might be distributed afterward to participants.
Kirk and co. beam in and are soon detained by the authorities. And to the surprise of no one, the people inside don't know they're in a spaceship.
Kirk and co. are taken to a court where they are questioned by behavior enforcers. They learn that these aliens belong to one of 256 'families', which seem connected to vocations ('behavior enforcer' is one, and 'interpreter' is another), and one of several castes.
On the surface of the asteroid they spot a Klingon ship. It was trapped there centuries ago by a net of the unobtanium stuff. Spock orders the Enterprise to move off so that they will not be caught as well, but it is too late.
A 'magician' arrives to interrogate the captives. He thinks them to be Klingons. During the interrogation, in the distance a phaser explodes as it was being examined, prompting the magician to order all but Kirk killed.
Upon hearing this, Spock beams down a security team, and follows shortly after. They all escape with the magician and translator in tow.
Escaping across a river, Kirk and co. come upon a jungle. There, the interpreter and magician assure them they will die. When pressed, it comes to light that the magicians use some kind of cloning to reproduce the species, and they release the 'mistakes' into the jungle, since custom forbids killing them. At night, the monsters will attack and, doubtless, kill them all.
Kirk and co. stand watch during the night, fighting off a constant stream of monsters.
They survive the night and procure a cart to ease their journey.
Klingons intercept the Enterprise's distress signal, and launch a bomb toward the asteroid. Scotty prepares to beam the crew into the asteroid, if necessary, on the chance that it will protect them.
Kirk & co. keep on traveling. Apparently the horse-rat creatures pulling the cart don't need sleep, as long as they think it's daytime.
On the Enterprise, they plan to transport everyone (except Scotty) inside the asteroid and then blow up the bomb early.
Inside, Kirk & co. reach the island of the magicians, and are captured as they approach--flying:
"I've been on the Moon a dozen times," Kirk said, "but I've never seen anyone fly." Wilson agreed, giving Moore a slightly dangerous look.
"Sirs, you've never been in Disneymoon, then."
"The amusement park?" Kirk and Wilson hadn't committed a frivolous act since getting their officers' stripes. Do they fly there?"
World Without End (1979-02), 97
The whole crew of the Enterprise, save Scotty, beam down. Scotty is not able to detonate the nova bomb--it does nothing when he hits it.
Prediction: fake bomb, so they can get everyone off the ship.
The rest of the crew, with Uhura in charge, begin to set up camp.
When the bomb was to explode, the viewscreen went white, and when they tried to contact Scotty afterward, they got only static. An EMP?
Kirk and co. learn more about the way the Chatalia are replaced. They have a machine ("the Father Machine") that produces copies, which they regularly visit to recordtheir memories and physical form. The ela do, anyway--the others, ven and lan, are similarly replaced, but by a different machine, and without memories.
Kirk and co. are taken Below, to where the Father Machine is. There, they find that they cannot communicate outside, and their chronometers, too, do not work. They are attacked just then by a large number of magicians.
Below, Kirk and co. are given a telepathic equivalent of the universal translator, which looks something like blue celery.
In order to gain the Chatalians' trust, Spock offers to mind meld with one of them. It does not work, which leads them to believe he is lying.
Scotty has not been vaporized--but it was not because the bomb was a fake. Instead, as soon as the blast hit the asteroid, it totally vanished, before it reached the Enterprise. The Klingons make plans to teleport a second bomb inside the asteroid, piece by piece, along with a team to reassemble it, and destroy it from within.
Kirk and co. are taken to the Father Machine--a giant plant, as it turns out. The comment that the first-caste magicians are all horticulturists now makes sense, if all the advanced technology of the species has been arranged in the form of plants.
The Klingon captain, Kulain, transports to the Enterprise perhaps to kill Scotty, but it is 40 below zero there due to the total power drain, and his weapon won't work. Scotty is burning whatever wood he could find to keep warm enough to survive for a while. Kulain ends up sharing Scotty's blankets.
The Father Machine determines that the humans are not Klingons. Spock decides he will attempt to communicate with it. This does not seem to go well.
A group of Chatalia attack Uhura's group. They stun them, but one magician is killed, falling from the air. Chapel does an autopsy, and finds that he has no central nervous system, no spinal cord, no brain.
The Father Machine tells spock that the Chatalia are not really alive. They are merely the creations of the Father Machine, 'toys'. At length, the Father Machine agrees to send away the humans in exchange for the Klingons.
The Klingons arrive with the bomb, but it does not explode, the Father Machine using its singular ability to absorb energy to maintain the reaction at a steady state, allowing the bomb to function as a small star.
Spock arranges to deliver the Klingons to the Father Machine by advising them that the Father Machine has challenged them, wishing to devour them, and strongly advising that they not take it up on its challenge, because they will be at a severe disadvantage.
I would have liked a resolution a little less convenient than "these people don't have brains, so they really aren't alive, QED" for the Chatalia. The Father Machine could well just be putting on a play, amusing itself by moving around its pieces in a semblance of a society, but it might have been nice to have a few more words about that, if so. Why would a creature like the Father Machine want to do something like that? Did it base this society on some real society it had encountered? Perhaps from some planet orbiting the star it lived near, that blew up. Perhaps even its own home planet.
It's a mark of a good book if it leaves you with something interesting to think about, but these are largely not questions that are going to lead to much insight--they're just 'factual' issues about the world of the story. They leave room for a sequel, but I can't do much with that, other than write a fanfic.
The big takeaway from the ending, I guess, is that everything that happened was a lie: if the Catalia don't have anything like brains, and they really are just toys that the Father Machine moves around, not even semi-autonomous but really just biological puppets, then everything that happened was just the Father Machine pretending not to understand what was going on, pretending to be captured, pretending to be afraid of dying without replacement, whatever. It was all just the Father Machine improvising a little play to amuse itself, like the author doing a self-insert.
I don't know that Spock's "I technically didn't tell a lie" is really enough to get him off the hook, morally, for tricking the Klingons to their deaths. Leaving them to their fate is one thing, since they probably wouldn't be willing to accept help anyway, but manipulating the drunken captain of the ship into getting his whole crew killed doesn't sound right to me. But, hey, it all ends on a joke, so all's well that ends well, right?

I love this smile with her piggies and bubbles on her tongue.
It isn't very often that I capture this sweet smile straight on because she is always on the move and most turn out blurry!
Today was a beautiful sunny day with a cool breeze in the air. Lily decided she wanted to take her Elmo lawnmower on a walk.
What started as a little stroll turned out to be about a 3/4 a mile walk in our neighborhood! She was determined to keep going and NOT turn back.
Our golden "sunset" joined us for the adventure and about half way through Lily took a break to give her some kisses.
I love this one because it looks like they are both laughing! They are both very independent and lively!
Her little legs were tiring out so she decided to try out her knees.
Then she just sat down for a rest before making the long journey back home.
We took turns pushing Elmo on the way home as she walked ahead of me.
About half way home she started slowing down and gave me the "up" sign...of course I caved and carried her part of the way.
A picture of me holding her, carrying Elmo and trying to keep up with Sunset would have been quite comical.
She decided she wanted down again and then tried to pick up Elmo like I had done when I was carrying her.
Love her little tongue sticking out here working so hard to pick it up.
She finished off her walk with a big glass of water, blueberries and PBJ.

Gotta love a marathon girl! Future Girls on the Run Gal.. She is so adorable!
