Worst. Cycle. Ever...

Jennifer • Mommy to a 7yr old daughter, TTC #2 with PCOS while doing Keto.

I've been on Keto for 7 weeks now, and, in addition to weightless (27.6lbs so far), it is regulating my hormones. That sounds great because it means there may still be a chance for baby #2. Before Keto, in the lady three years, I've only had random spring for 2-3 days at a time. sometimes twice a week, sometimes every 6 weeks... really very random. I have PCOS, so random isn't unusual, and, according to my doctor, the spotting might just be my new normal. Afterall, I will be 40 this year.

The last week, I have been cramping, backache, headaches, tender boobs... like AF was seconds away. Started feeling better yesterday, so decided, maybe it was a whole lot of talk, but no action kind of cycle. Last night before bed, I started spotting. Thankfully, I decided a full on pad was a good idea rather than just a liner. In the 5 hours I was asleep, a freaking flood gate opened and the super absorbancy, long pads were no match. I have to go to work I a couple hours and am on my feet the better part of the day. All I want to do right now is curl into a ball with a heating pad and a big bottle of midol!
