Default Had my period naturally - 3 weeks of LC

I could hardly believe it. I lowered my carb intake and started exercising. And like magic I had my period this morning. I feel so much better. Had no cramps or anything. Never thought I would be so glad to have my period. But I take it as a sign that my body is trying to balance itself and heal. Love that I didn't have to take any pills for this to happen.

And I've lost a couple of pounds too!

Awesome! About the same thing happened to me as well. I've been LC since 2004 and I think that I've only missed 3 periods in all that time. You are on the right track.

Hi Tiffanie

Yeah it's great !!!

I started Protein power on Monday (7days ago) and my period started this morning, I couldn't believe my eyes. I NEVER get my period on my own. I am very happy with the results.

So now we just need to stick to this way of eating and we will be regular girls

Congrats to you getting your period, I don't think ladies will understand why we get all excited ..... but hey, it's great to feel like a woman again. (he-he)

Keep us updated.

Bye bye

Just add me in as a "me too!" My endocrinologist put me on metformin 18 months ago to get my cycles going, but that had stopped working and I refused to take a higher dosage. Hadn't had a period since early last Fall.... and then poof! A slightly light but perfectly normal period started when I was just a few days into eating LC.

Mind you, I was a lot more excited than my husband was, but he's enjoyed plenty of months without a cycle!

And I just started another one! This is the second one - granted it was 6 week cycle instead of 4. But still, that is so awesome. I know that LCing is healing my body little by little.

I'm so happy for both of you! This is my second time around with this game and the first time my period started two weeks into LC eating.

I beg all of you, please don't do what I did. I spent 6 months eating LC and *all* of my symptoms resolved. I felt great and thought I was "cured". Gradually I went back to "normal" eating and nothing bad happened for a very long time.

It's been about 7 years since I stopped taking care of myself and now I'm right back where I started and it's crashing down on me much faster than last time. Before, it took a year for all the PCOS symptoms to show themselves. Now it's hitting me after only a couple of months from the first sign of trouble.

There is no reason for us girls to go through this hell. Just don't let yourself believe that you can ever go back.
