Thank goodness for this post. I'm doing my first Whole30 and am on Day 16. I am also on birth control, and it is a week prior to when I should be getting my period. Sunday (Day 14) I had terrible backaches, yesterday (Day 15) I got cramps (fairly unusual for me) and started spotting, and am spotting again today. = I have been very irritable and tired yesterday and today as well.
I'm glad that reading through this thread that it isn't unusual, it is definitely unwelcome though. I was so frustrated this morning that I really just wanted to quit the whole thing. I'm hoping it gets better.
