    2ww means the 2 week wait after ovulation until you either get a positive test or your period

    Yup on the zits. But I'm taking Vitex too and that's been known to cause acne. Yerrrrgh!!!!

    Yes, a lot of ladies have felt crabby and tired, it's from the dieting and blood sugar crashes. But if you get really awful fatigue ALL day to the point where you feel like your brain is mud, try taking some iron supps. I was starting to get a little anemic because of going vegetarian. I started some iron supps and felt better almost right away.

    If you are still dragging after taking some iron you might want to get your thyroid checked out for hypothyroidism too.

    I have been off the diet for awhile now, but I still have horribly brittle fingernails that break constantly. And I also have these red streaks at the corners of my mouth that I just found out can be caused by vitamin deficiencies (it's called angular chelitis - that was my Google self-diagnosis, lol). I have had them in the past, but they flared up majorly after I was on the LE diet for 8 weeks. So yeah, it can definitely cause changes! I am trying to load up on vitamins now!
