Hey guys,

I was hoping someone could help me. I've been deliberately losing weight (2-3 lbs/wk) for the last month or so, and I have begun spotting and dealing with some cramps in between my period. I am taking birth control (Estrostep FE) and rarely have this problem. I haven't missed a pill but my body is severely sore from increased exercise, and this has been a severely stressful two months -- could that be what's causing it? It just began this morning so I am not sure how long it will last but spotting always makes me nervous.

Thanks in advance.
