Missed period on 1st month of keto


#1

Hi,

I’m 23 days into Keto and have lost about 5.5 kgs.
Although I’m happy with the weight loss and inch loss, I’ve missed my period! I got a negative pregnancy test and currently having crazy white discharge since almost a week. I’m worried as I’m going on a vacation in another 20 days and I badly need to get my period before that. :frowning: please advise!

Might not be related to keto. I know hormones and periods can fluctuate in the beginning. But a discharge would have me seeing a doctor. I wouldn’t mention my diet, by the way. They often won’t look beyond that and will miss the underlying problem.
If pressed, just say you are cutting down on sugar and processed food. They applaud that.
Good luck.
Mother Nature can really interfere with vacations!

I agree with Robin. The discharge means something is wrong. Please see your physician.

It’s really common for our cycles to go a bit whacky when first starting keto as our hormones start to rebalance. It will sort itself out in a few months. You can’t force it to happen.

I agree with all of the responses.
