I blew it!! Plus Seasonique question

[BoxerLoverBaby]

Ugh, so okay I was on day 14 of my induction and decided to eat one of my favorite meals (obvi not Atkins friendly) and since then I haven't gotten back on track, this was Thursday. Anyways, planning to start again tomorrow but very upset with myself as re-starting is always hard to convince yourself to do but something I def NEED to do. I'm sure I've gained back the 4 pounds I lost during my first week. I also discovered that the reason I may not have lost weight the 2nd week but was still losing inches is that TOM decided to come visit. I'm a little confused about this since I am on Seasonique (a birth control where you only get your period once every 3 months) and I was only 4 weeks into the pack...perhaps my hormones were thrown off with the diet change? Anyone heard of this happening before?? Anyways, wish me luck and I'll be visiting often to keep myself on track. Glad to see you guys are all still doing good on this WOE

Re: I blew it!! Plus Seasonique question

yep same happened with me. TOM came early last week (and is lasting longer than usual) and wasn't due til february!!!

so inconvenient. so i am also unsure of what to do with the rest of the pack.

Re: I blew it!! Plus Seasonique question

I was curious too if I needed to start a new pack or just keep going with the 2 months I have left!!! I think I'm just going to continue on and considering this spotting, even though it's really enough and long enough to be a period. I tend to get really bloated when I have my periods and it probably came at the worst time since it was right at the end of my two weeks and really discouraged me Oh well....hopefully it will really come when it's supposed to next time. Strange....

Re: I blew it!! Plus Seasonique question

you could also call the pharmacist and ask him/her what to do in this kind of situation, just to be on the safe side. good luck with your new induction

Re: I blew it!! Plus Seasonique question

Hey boxerlover baby. i've experienced the same thing. im on birth control and i took the wrong pill and it started my period over. so this week i was having cravings for chocolate and was smelling everyones food. i caved in today and ended up eating mcdonalds and 2 chocolate bars. i am so frustrated with myself. and i plan on going gettin right back to it 2morrow morning. im accepting my "fat" moment and giving into my cravings and starting fresh tomorrow. im happy to hear im not t)he only one in this boat and hopefully we both get past this

Re: I blew it!! Plus Seasonique question

I have found that since I have lost weight and been on Atkins that my period has changed. I don't have the cravings that I used to have and they are not as heavy. It is possible that your body was reacting to some postitive changes it was feeling.

Re: I blew it!! Plus Seasonique question

that would make alot of sence. my body has changed a little bit, in terms of energy and yes having my period right now is quite odd. i dont feel it is a poisitve change because i caved in today. but i feel like that because i hit the bottom the only other way it to go back up.. goodluck with the rest of ur atkins journey. hopefully i stick to mine

Re: I blew it!! Plus Seasonique question

You didn't blow it... you just hit a speed bump... now start over tomorrow and just move on, it happens to the best of us. As for the seasonique, i'm not sure how long you have been on it, but I am currently on lybrel... the 365 day pill and I do occasionally get heavy spotting maybe even a period my doctor said to continue with the pack (this happened to me when I was on seasonele as well) spotting is VERY COMMON with these types of pills. If this continues of course it is always a good idea to talk to your doctor. Good luck!

Re: I blew it!! Plus Seasonique question

Thanks for the encouragement toga girl!! I did get to the store and started back strong today. I didn't eat very much but did get my salad greens and veggies in so that's good. Have to get back in the habit of making my eggs in the morning again. You look great!! Hopefully I'll have similar results I have never heard of Lybrel before....you say it's a the 365 day pill.. how often are you supposed to get your period on that just our of curiousity...

[TogaGirl]

Re: I blew it!! Plus Seasonique question

Good job! In theory, with Lybrel you shouldn't get your period at all... I've been on it 7 months and generally it takes the body 6-10 months to fully adjust to the pill so i have been getting spotting and the first few months I did still get my period, though that seems to be evening out now. Spotting is much more common on this type of pill (as is on extended BCPs). I have horrendous periods... sorry if that's TMI (earmuffs boys) lol... and if all works out this should be a godsend. Good luck with everything and those eggs!!
