I just did a pregnancy test and got a bfp with middle of the day urine. I am 9dpo and on day 27 of average 25 day cycle. My cycles vary between 24 and 28 days.

Is there anything I need to do now to wean off the LE diet? I know it's very early days, and I am more shocked than excited but want to start right.

OMG!!! One attempt and it was earlier than I planned.

Thanks ladies ... Is there some sort of transition I need to make from LE diet to normal healthy one?

Congratulations! I would begin taking your prenatal and, if you were taking much higher folic acid, I believe it's recommended to continue that through first trimester and then taper (consult your dr). If you were taking baby aspirin, then a gradual wean as well. Overall, consult your dr on all the supplement transitions!

As for diet, I don't think any intentional transition phase is necessary; just begin eating as you normally choose for a healthy pregnancy.

Congrats again!

congratulations! multivitamins :)
no need to wean off the diet - if you are able and feel fine doing it do it in one go, if you find that higher fat makes you feel sick again do it more gradually

Huge congrats!! I think it's ok to start eating normally. Atomic dies recommend that you ease into the sodium though if you had been limiting it.

Ease back into sodium if you were limiting it, and you may not want to eat liek a side of beef per day, but other than that you can start normalizing. Start prenatal and DHA, keep folic acid at higher level till the end of first tri then wean off gradually.

Thanks Atomic... I stuck to 1 attempt and it was 4 days before ovulation, so very happy. Fingers crossed for pink.
