Dear Dr. Hyman and colleagues,

 I have been on the ultramind diet for 5 weeks and am having to begin to come off it a little early as I leave for 2.5 weeks of research in the field on Sunday.  But I am experiencing some strange changes in my menstrual cycle that are concerning me.  During the first week of the cleanse, I started my period only about 18 days after my last cycle (my cycle is normally about 23-26 days between period start dates).  The bleeding only lasted for about 24 hours though, and then, 9 days later, I got cramps and a full three days of bleeding (a much more normal cycle for me).  I figured the first bleeding episode was just my body adjusting to the cleansing.  But, yesterday I started my period again  (3 weeks after the "second" period from last cycle, which would be a little early but okay), but today it has stopped again. I didn't bleed at all last night and none today so far.   I have been taking, in addition to the basic vitamins, the support for Seratonin, Dopemine, and Acetocholine, as well as the support for Hormones (Fem Premenstrual which I started about 5 dyas ago, DIM-plus, Vitex angus-castus (Chasteberry), and evening Primrose oil).  Have other women experienced anything like this? Should I be concerned?

Thanks for any help. 

Sincerely,

Marah
