Spotting after getting off keto

(Mini Pr) #1

I was on strict keto for 6 weeks and then slowly switched to my regular diet. A week after getting off I started spotting even though my cycle had ended 15 days back. Its been 3 weeks and I am still spotting. I got some tests done on my docs advice but all came out fine. Also, now my regular cycle is already delayed by a fww days…anyone faced similar issue? I have always had regular periods.

Keto rebalances your hormones but just six weeks into it you’ll only be partway through that. Why did you stop?

Thanks for the response. I only wanted to lose 10 pounds and ended up losing 12 pounds in 6 weeks which is why I got back to my normal diet. But now I am a bit freaked out about the spotting and my delayed cycle.

Weight loss will do that. I would expect it to normalise within a cycle or two. If it doesn’t, see a doctor.
