Same thing happened to me afy, after about a month on the diet i would be starving for breakfast and it was the biggest meal of my day, totally not what i used to do, i used to only have a coffee in the morning and then not eat till about 12. Also it has been mentioned that we dont change back to our girly way of eating just because we get a bfp, because that may be dangerous if we have conceived a boy as they need more nutrients in the first few weeks to stick, so keep it regular and healthy.
Wow that's just what I'm doing its been a month now Nd the hunger strikes every other hour or 2! But I don't wanna stop this diet I know (if I was to conceive a boy) would need to continue it but some things I would get rid of.. I'm aiming for more healthy things to eat and avoiding junk.. Lol somebody already told me I seem to look more round lol I didn't know if I was to be offended or pleased !! I was the lowest weight I have ever been when I conceived DD I weighed 127 lbs and I'm 5"5 now I'm at least 138!
Cinns How much bready stuff did you use to it ? I stick to whole grains have for years but now strict whole grains I'm a big bread fan but cutting down now ..

I got my attempts in (last one Tuesday night) and we just weren't really feeling the last one :( I'm hoping it was enough though. DH had been traveling and was exhausted and I was exhausted from doing all the house/kid stuff by myself. This AM woke up feeling sick. I'm hoping that too doesn't hurt my sway much!
I'm picking apart my sway as well. I think its hard not to!
I thought I was going to be chilled out during this 2ww but I already found myself googling 2dpo symptoms! Anyone else have a lot CM after ovulation?? Its super abundant right now...
Yay becca, best of luck for a BFP! i usually went a bit dry after O, and the time i got my BFP it was kind of yellowish and stringy (sorry tmi) BUT everyone is different, so you never know!
Thanks Cinss! Since it was our first attempt, I'm not going to get my hopes up yet! Although like everyone else, I am so tired of the diet! Its only been a little over 2 months that I've been eating it too. Ahh! I'm sick of eating nuts! I could eat eggs all day long though! :) I had a dream that someone thought I was pregnant b/c I have a slight belly now from eating so much!
Good luck Becca!
Cinss - I totally agree that we need to keep up the diet. I think Atomic recommended that we do so for at least the first 12 weeks and then to ensure that we continue with breakfast throughout pregnancy? Anyway, the reason why I am not eating as much as the three months prior is because I am sleeping 3-4 hours extra per day now so that is the equivalent of two snacks for me. But still, I am getting in 4-5 snacks per day and three full meals so I am happy with that.
Seems like an exciting month here!
I have been craving lots of junk food, really high calorie stuff, i know im going to pay for it later but it is so hard to eata chicken salad when your body is screaming for a big mac haha.
Good luck Becca!
Back to the land of the living...the gastro moved into stage 2 yesterday and I spent the second half of the day sitting on the toilet and hugging my cramping stomach...sigh.
Such fabulous timing getting gastro 2 days before I am meant to ovulate given my 7 weeks of strict preparations and diet....am not cross at all (read sarcasm).
Am hastily replenishing my potassium levels and rehydrating in the off chance I ovulate on the weekend although part of me hopes I don't as I know I will go for it...argghh. Am super frustrated.
If we conceive next cycle, I will be due to give birth on my 40th and I already have daughters birthdays the week before and after. :hair:
Have the big mac Cinss...you deserve it after the amount of time you've spent on this diet.
