I just recently switched to a vegan diet 2 weeks ago. Up until this point my cycles have run like clockwork over the last 20 years. I only spotted for about an hour and then nothing. Should I worry?Once switching to a vegan diet, what effects will I have on my menstruation and cycle?
Diet change can affect your cycle (delay it a bit), but if you switch correctly, it should resume as normal.
Make sure you get enough protein and that your nutrient levels are ok. You may need an iron supplement - don't just take one though. You should get a blood test to establish if it is necessary because iron is easy to overdose on and you don't want to play around with an overdose.Once switching to a vegan diet, what effects will I have on my menstruation and cycle?
When switching to that kind of lifestyle it can be a total 180 to your body (in a good way though!). It is going to affect your menstrual cycle actually. This sounds normal, however if you feel uncomfortable or still nervous then it is best to go to the gynecologist. When you change to a vegan diet it is smart to go to the doctor anyway to let him know what you are doing.
Well, I have been vegan for 16 going on 17 years this summer, and I have very regular and light periods. I rarely have cramps - like once in a blue moon. I also donate blood to the American Red Cross about every 3 months (but I don't give during that time of the month, because my iron will tend to be a bit low sometimes).
Check with your doctor if you are really concerned. It may or may not have to do with your new eating plan, but it's always good to be safe.Once switching to a vegan diet, what effects will I have on my menstruation and cycle?
Be careful. You will start peeing green, pooping green even your period will be green. Please eat some beef to make things normal.
As long as your calorific intake and nutrition is normal then your cycle should stay the same. If you are worried then you should see your GP.Once switching to a vegan diet, what effects will I have on my menstruation and cycle?
I was vegan for six months and it didnt have any effect on my cycle. Just make sure you get enough protein.
