Whole30 diet and TTC

Ever since getting off the pill a couple of years ago, I have experienced majorly sore breasts and acne when it’s Aunt Flo time. Like clockwork, one week before AF arrives, my face breaks out and my breasts get super sore, and neither get better until AF is gone.

Well, AF is due this Sunday (4 days from now) and I haven’t experienced my normal symptoms at all. No soreness and no acne, and my mood has been decent too. I have been doing the Whole30 (paleo) diet for a couple of weeks, so maybe this is why I’m not experiencing the usual symptoms? Or could it possibly be that this is my month??

I did my first Whole30 about a year ago and although I felt much healthier and lost weight, I don’t remember it affecting anything cycle-wise. I know you aren’t supposed to weigh when doing a Whole30, but I can’t help it. Last I weighed, I lost 8 pounds since the beginning of this Whole30. Maybe just the weight loss is throwing off my period and symptoms?

We have been TTC for about 18 months with no luck. Has anyone else noticed a difference in symptoms just because of your diet? I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I have my fingers crossed! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
