ON LE Diet it is ABSOLUTELY hard to get enough potassium without making an effort and having a lot of water can exacerbate that. Normally I'd tell you to go to a doctor but I agree either you get the doctor who treats you like a lunatic hypochondriac or the one that starts checking you for everything under the sun including ebola and Zika virus.
Yes please take a few days off and eat more potassium. Do NOT postpone your attempt unless you're feeling really ill (and in that case of course get medical help.) Remember, if diet for one day did anything, we'd only do diet for one day.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Please don't stress yourself out too much. Much of what you seem to be concerned about is in the past and so you cannot control it, but you can learn from how you are feeling right now for if you do decide to continue TTC (if you are not pregnant now) and adjust your plan so that you can avoid this in the future.
I think your worry is so common at the stage you are in and it just means you care so much about your possible unborn baby, but stress isn't good for either of you! Especially worry about things that have already passed. Many many mothers for thousands of years have conceived healthy babies on all sorts of diets, good and bad. And many mothers who do every single thing right with diet and lifestyle have health issues with them or their babies...but you know what - they get through those just fine (I can attest to the latter!)
You are doing a great job for yourself AND baby.(2011) (2014)

Complex, I just want you to take a deep breath and a step back here because this is what happens with my anxious pink swayers all the time and then end up completely undermining their sways.
B12 is in ALL meat, dairy, and eggs, and many fortified foods. Your body is pretty good at storing the stuff as well, if you have a relatively normal diet there are years of B12 stored in your liver and even stranger, bacteria in your intestines MAKE it for you. ANYONE who does LE Diet as written and having some milk or eggs fairly regularly is getting more than enough B12. It's been shown that virtually all Americans get enough without taking supplements or even eating healthfully.
There are a very few people who do have B12 deficiency and they are the EXTREME minority. People who had gastric bypass, who are chronic alcoholics, who are elderly, and a HANDFUL of people with rare genetic disorders can get low B12. People who are strict vegans for many years without taking supplements can also develop it. But these people are NOT YOU. They all have significant, life altering symptoms. Reading a scary article online and then jumping to the HUGE conclusion that you will therefore have an unhealthy baby without taking supplements and drinking 3 cups of milk a day, it just isn't true. IF you're worried about it, sure, get tested. You may be one of those very rare individuals who has a deficiency (somehow without having the neurological symptoms). I doubt that you are, but if it gives you peace of mind, please have the test done. I will warn you, the consultant will scare you silly telling you things that are simply not the case so be prepared. NO ONE on earth before 40 years ago ever took a prenatal vitamin before conception. We did not evolve taking prenatal vitamins and it is just silly to think that you cannot have a healthy baby without one. If that was the case we would have died out a million years ago. Some even speculate we may even be causing harm by taking megadoses of nutrients.
Additionally, before you get a BFP your baby is floating around free in your body. Thus my recommendation is as stands, which is to start a prenatal at BFP. The only nutrient ever shown to improve outcomes of pregnancy when taken before conception is folic acid and thus that is why I recommend everyone take that. You know why I know this is because I HAVE a baby with a neural tube defect, which I conceived while taking prenatals daily and eating tons of dairy and eggs and meat and 800 mcg folic acid.
I am not in this to harm babies. I have spent thousands of hours researching, reading, I have a personal library of dozens of nutrition books all of which I have read from cover to cover repeatedly. I believe with every fiber of my being that it is perfectly fine to skip a prenatal vitamin for a few months as long as you eat decently and take folic acid. The people who write these terrifying articles are manipulating data to scare people into buying whatever it is they're selling and it simply isn't based in reality.!!! Questions??

I am not a dietician but nutrition has always been a big interest of mine (and a big one in my mother's profession, in which I was quite involved for decades). I'm particularly interested in CRON (caloric restriction for optimal nutrition) and I have done it myself for years. I'm talking about averaging 1000 cals a day or less. I did this long term, without taking sny supplements, and regular blood tests confirmed I never developed any deficiencies. And I've had deficiencies when eating over 2000 cals daily!
It really gets me when people worry about the LE being unhealthy bc you can actually eat much, MUCH less and still be healthy. The LE is not even close to a nutrient-deprivation diet. It's just reduced relative to how many boy moms eat. If you follow the guidelines and not your own interpretation of what to do, you cannot go wrong.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

millions of people are dying every day from being OVERnourished. The LE Diet is based on the World Health Organization's recommendations for a healthy prepregnancy diet for all women of childbearing age (around the world including poverty stricken countries where many women do not have access to the type of vitamins and food choices that we do). It's normal range. It is not below normal, it's not starvation, it's normal range for health prepregnancy diet for women of childbearing age.
