last night I cheated and had a carb blowout big time and about an hour after I started spotting.....is this a coincidence?? I have an I.U.D and my TOM has been very irregular but there is no way I should be bleeding again now I just stopped HEAVY bleeding a week ago after bleeding for 2 1/2 weeks straight...I can only think its related, what else can it be..am I crazy?

Hi,

I've never heard of anything like this. I know starting low carb can mess with a woman's cycle. But I've never heard of falling off the wagon causing immediate spotting. If you're really irregular and your last period was really heavy for 2 1/2 weeks, it would seem more likely that there's something going on with your IUD or your hormones. Either way, I'd get it checked out. Are you still bleeding today?

I think it was stress because you knew you were being bad!
