Sorry ladies if this has been asked before or if its TMI but i just thought you lot would have the best info. Ive been on the mini pill since my daughters birth and not had a period whilst on it however 2 weeks ago (2-3wks into diet) i started with horrid cramping, fluid retention and spotting that last 3 days now in itself its no problem until 2 days ago ive started with horrid cramps and spotting which appears to be turning into a proper period. Is this a common side effect of this diet? I cant recall it having that effect last time I did it 5yrs ago and will be gutted if it effects my weigh in tomorrow grr grr grumble grumble grumble
