This is week 1. I noticed spotting 2 days ago. Im on birth control, i have pcos and i shouldnt start my period until next week. I hear that its my hormones balacing out. I feel great!!!! Never felt better and i dont want to give up this way of eating. I know this may be TMI but my orgasms have come on much faster. I hear this is from increased estrogen. Is this spotting a good thing or should i start adding carbs back into my diet? I cakked my obgyn and she says that its not related to diet. I have a hard time believing that. I cant be pregnant, just had a clear papsmear and ive heard similar stories about the spotting. I guess im just still worried.

    I believe spotting while taking birth control pills is very common. I've heard about this for decades, and never in the context of keto. You'll need another excuse to add carbs back in :p

    I used to have breakthrough bleeding whilst on the pill. Was your obgyn worried about it at all? If she wasn't then I wouldn't worry either, especially since so far it's a one off occurrence.

    Me too!!!! I started the keto diet 10 days after my period but within a few days of the diet I started to spot and have discharge in which I never had a problem with before! I’ve been looking for answers and I’m glad to have found this thread!
