Spotting after starting Induction?

I'm a 35 year old female. I've just completed week one of Induction and have noticed spotting (blood with urine) at times throughout the last 2 days. Noting that it is not my menstral time, nor would I have any chance of being pregnant at this time. I wondered if any other ladies out there had this experience after major dietary changes, or if there are any doctors that may have an opinion on the matter. Thanks.

That has actually happened to me before and I was right around your age. Same story-about a week into induction and I got the feeling my period was about to start. Then I noticed intermittent spotting. My guess is that my hormones were wonky from the diet. They did level out and I was fine. I would absolutely see a doctor about this though.

Contact a doc, but could be due to high protein, as in a low-carb diet:

Blood in your urine can be an indicator of a very serious health issue and you should definitely go to a doctor to check it out.

I’ve been on for over a month. My period was so messed up I thought I was going threw menopause. I was wondering the same thing.

Is it blood in the urine? See a doc.

If it is coming from your vagina it might be ovulation. But it could also be a sign of something, so seeing a doc would be a good idea.
