I don't think I am in trouble yet as I am supposed to O in about 4 days and so far all signs are a go. However, what are the recommendations if you feel you are getting too thin and you are not getting pregnant? I have been on the diet for 11 weeks and have lost 17 lbs. My BMI is now 18.5. I have not been this thin literally since high school. (I will be 36 next month) I feel fine right now but I am worried if I don't get pregnant this month that I might get too low.
Would it be recommended to just increase calories and try to maintain my weight and keep swaying? (basically would just have to add more soda and candy to not go over on other things) OR To take a diet/sway break and try to gain weight for a month and then start over?
Hopefully this will be my month and I won't have to worry about it!
Thanks!

it is much better to eat more cals and maintain than to gain weight to relose it.
Doing this was what got me DS 4 - I was gaining weight to relose it and accidentally conceived.
Plus,you undo a lot of the good you were doing by adding nutrients that your body then diligently stores (maybe even more so than normal if you have been dieting.)
Don't forget too - you WILL plateau at some point. No one will waste away to nothing eating 1500-1800 cals a day. Once your body mass drops so it needs less cals to maintain, and your metabolism adjusts, you WILL stop losing.!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Atomic, once a person hits that plateau, does she lose the advantage of having lost weight? Say someone tries to TTC for six months ... they lose 10 lbs. the first two months and then stay at the same weight for the next four. By month six, has her body "forgotten" about the weight loss and then she really don't have that factor in her pink sway anymore? (I hope I'm making sense.)

No, I don't think that they DO lose that advantage. I'm sure over the course of time things even out to some extent, but testosterone takes a long time to rise and fall and if you have less muscle, you make less testosterone as a general rule, and 100% for sure you ahve less estrogen if you have less body fat.
