This may be TMI too, but you asked
hehe
I've been on the pill for many years now, and so my cycles were like clockwork to begin with. Always the 5th or 6th pill on the last row of pills, I would start.
The first TOM to come after being on Atkins started then, but lasted for days and was HEAVY!!!! I usually only go 2-3 days, but with Atkins, I go from Thurs to Sun or Mon the following week.
Then the second TOM to come, I start moving up it seems, and I start on the 4th pill of the week. And as weight loss continues, the 3rd pill. But its always HEAVY, and I've never had heavy.
How are your cramps? Mine seem to start the week before, and they are more intense. I dont know if thats because I'm dispelling my "cushion" and I can actually feel them, or what...
