the problem: my period started yesterday instead of this friday. is it being affected by my drastic change in diet? and if so, why? shouldn't being on the pill override any irregularities? has anyone else experienced anything similar?
quite fortuitously, i have an appointment at my lady doctor's office on thursday next week to have some bloodwork done (i had high-ish cholesterol at my last yearly in january), so i suppose i can try to ask about it then. but i just thought i'd try to get some reassurance here first that my body isn't falling apart.
Hormones are stored in your fat, so as your body releases the fat it can change your cycle. Trust me, I went over 7 weeks w/o my period and I was getting nervous. Even took a pregnancy test even though I had my tubes tied. After a very bad period, things evened out and now I am more regular then before.
