I got my period on time at the beginning of this month. (started atkins on 5/31/05) A week to a week and a half after it was over I started again, and it lasted like 7 or 8 days. It was very light though. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be worried? Thank u!

Just so you know, there is lots of info about TOM in the women's forum.

To answer your question, no, you don't have to worry. Many women experience menstrual irregulatities in the beginning. Estrogen is stored in your fat cells, and as you lose fat, the estrogen gets dumped into your bloodstream where it can affect TOM. It takes about 3-4 mo for your body to adjust, and then you'll settle down to a regular cycle.
