Vegetarian?

Question

I have irregular periods due to my pcos and this app could never track it because it would average 30 to 35 day cycles. I stopped eating animal products a week ago for health reasons and my period actually came on the suggested day today (which never happens)! Could it be connected or just a fluke?

Answer

I was a vegetarian when I was diagnosed with PCOS. My doc told me I needed to stop because my body needed more protein than somebody who doesn’t have it

Answer

Hi Kay!
I discovered I had PCOS 3 years ago. I’ve been a vegetarian for 5 years. I did begin seeing closer cycles after I stopped eating meat, but it wasn’t until I researched PCOS and cut back on dairy that I really noticed a difference.

I went 70 days without a period, that’s when I went to my GYNO and was diagnosed. In the last 3 years my periods have been almost always been between 28-34 days — except for the time I took a plan B and it interfered with my cycle.

I strongly suggest researching PCOS! Too much dairy can actually interfere with ovulation. However, be careful how much soy you intake because this can also interfere. Try to stick with mostly plant-based meat substitutes.

Good luck!

Answer

I’ve been vegan for over 3 years and I didn’t really see a difference in my period but I’m also what they call a “junk food vegan”. If you’re eating significantly healthier it could be helping.

Did you switch to soy based foods?
