 Alright, so I just found you guys and thought you could help me.
I just attempted yesterday to do a 24 hour fast. Just because. My boyfriend did it, my brother has done it, why not? I only got 13 hours in until my mouth was watering even though I drank TONS of water and I had a huge headache. So I ate.

So here I am, the day after. And I'm not supposed to start my placebos until Monday...and I'm spotting. Would the fasting have done it somehow?
Help?!

I don't really actually know much about this, but just from what I do know, not eating properly is more likely to cause an absense of bleeding. But that's just normally. It could be screwed up because of your pills. Are you otherwised stressed? Apart from the whole fasting thing. I had spotting a while ago, with no obvious reason as to why. It went away after a while. If it hangs around or you are otherwise concerned I would recommend seeing your doctor.

You didn't fast from your pill, did you? ;)

Seriously, though, it's not unheard of to bleed midcycle. It could be the shock of fasting, it could your body adjusting to the pill (if you just recently started)... it could be all sorts of things. If your super worried, call your doctor and double check, and definitely call if your period lasts longer/is way heavier than you're used to. But you should be fine. Bodies are just weird sometimes :)

You may be spotting because you were stressed about not eating, or because of something else. Sometimes it just happens.
