We all know Easter is on April 24 this year for all Christians and I'm looking forward to it :happy:
I'm Orthodox Christian and we are supposed to fast 7 weeks before Easter ( I usually do 1st and last week) and by fast I mean: no meat, no eggs, no dairy and NO FISH, but DH and I are not that strict, so we eat fish.
My question is: can this fast ( which will last only a week for me) be harmful during 2WW? I can use other protein sources, like fish, nuts, legumes,...umm, I ran out of ideas LOL!
Or I will be safe if I keep my blood sugar levels high, eat often and enough?
If I knew for sure I was pg, I would NEVER fast.
But since I don't know for sure, I want that the 4 of us receive communion as a family on Easter and you can't receive a communion if you don't fast AT LEAST a week.
This is already too long, but just 1 more q: can 1 week fast jeopardize swaying, esp blue one? I wasn't fasting during swaying, but if I get another bfn, I want to have the info :wink:
