Things that make me feel great about my sway: Although I was really starting to struggle with the diet, I stuck with it.
Had been feeling pretty run down with flu, as well as being on antibiotics for a cyst so hoping this may have helped. Several very unsettled nights, very little sleep.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Although keeping with the diet, my weight loss had started to slow down a little.
Work had been a little more stressful than I'd have liked.
DH stopping with his supps.
Had a little white meat occasionally to increase my protein levels a little as well as to see if it helped baby stick.
Had O'd in my sleep - hoping it didn't count against me!
Because of medication I had to reintroduce breakfast for a while.
Things worth mentioning: A little more hopeful but nervous about this one sticking - the line in my test was much brighter much earlier than my other pregnancy tests. Immediately upgraded one of the 400mcg folic acid tablets per day to Pregnacare Conception tablet on BFP. Was also taking low dose iron and zinc three times a week for previous m/c.
Here's hoping for a happy, healthy baby. Was only going to be a light sway - really wanted a healthy happy baby over all else. At this stage, I really don't mind which!
