Since I haven't formally started Adkin's yet, but just low-carb in general, I haven't noticed any change, but I have been having missed periods, and they're down to 2-3 days from the usual regular 5 days.
Now, at 47 and having endured some years of awfully heavy stress, I'm chalking it up to periomenopause.
The brown discharge is something I have been having for years and no gynecologist or physician has seemed to be concerned. Sometimes it comes midcycle with alot of mucus (eww, icky) or is the composition of the actual TOM. I mostly ignore it now.
I am glad that I've read this thread though, because I will be prepared for more craziness if I go ahead with Atkin's.
Just the low-carbing I have been doing for a couple of weeks hasn't lost me much weight, but I can tell I am not retaining nearly as much water and today is the first day I haven't had to take pain meds for headache in weeks!!!! I actually feel pretty good today.
