Crazy overindulgence around OV (and got PG!)
Hey everyone,
Weird question but I can’t get it out of my mind so I thought I’d put it out there. I (lightly) swayed for a girl and ended up getting pregnant on our first cycle. I’d been pretty good at the LE diet (especially cutting down on meat) but for some reason, around ovulation (our one attempt was 1-3 days prior to OV) I ended up eating sausages at a BBQ, a Greek pub lunch (delicious pork skewers and chips and loads of feta and other loveliness that I couldn’t help stuffing myself with) and then a massive lamb roast that my dad made! And loads of pudding and everything 😩 Not telling people I was swaying partly meant I felt I had to eat everything, and also I think I just got carried away with the early summer vibes and excitement of potentially being pregnant. Is my massive overindulgence likely to have affected my sway? I only have myself to blame, of course... I’m just a bit down about it. I’m now 9 weeks and feeling very guilty for not feeling connected to the little one cooking in there!

If anything we did for a couple days around ovulation mattered, i'd only have you guys do diet for a couple days around ovulation!
Our results have shown very, very clearly that 2-4 weeks (that's weeks! not days!) did not get good results at all, even though the people who dieted such a short time were virtually all incredibly strict. Our results improve gradually over time till 12 weeks or more at which point they've stayed high, even though most of those people on diet 12 weeks or more did occasionally cheat (since that is a mandatory part of the LE Diet)! So given that, there is NO WAY that you going off diet for such a short time made any difference at all.
Plus, many many many times when people go back and calculate the nutrients in what they actually ate, they're stunned to find it really wasn't anywhere near as high as they thought it had been. And when you eat a lot all at once your body doesn't absorb the most nutrients from it anyway, most of it passes right through undigested. So I would not stress about it at all, it doesn't matter in the slightest.
