♥ June 2011 ~ Swaying for Blue? This is the thread for you!! ♥

Spicy that is a great question, and I agree with Bec ... I think it is the high sodium/potassium aspect more than the dairy. I haven't bothered tracking magnesium because it really is in everything, from vegetables to fruits to cereals. What I focused on more was my ratios ... so trying to really up my sod/pot relative to my dairy/mg. Anyhow, I think so long as you're feeling well I wouldn't worry too much about it. And I like your and DH's long term perspective on the whole maternity leave thing. Sorry this fever has taken such a toll on him!

Jen that is exactly how I am with my IL's! It is crazy, but at least your DH now has some parental figures he can turn to for support and that's super :-) So have you continued Paleo during your pregnancy?

I love getting up in the am and seeing what all our friends on the other side of the world have posted :-) It's fun because you know the thread will have had some action on it overnight!

TTC5 this is just baffling ... so AF is now late. I hate to say it but I guess the brown tinged CM is a sign of AF at this point. Man. Your symptoms were CLASSIC! Ah well. How "off" the diet were you? I've continued my prenatal, FA, and fish oil in the 2WW. The only other thing I was taking was EPO so it isn't like my supps change much in the 2WW. I'm still eating pretty TW style, but less overall food, and I've had more sweets. But part of my rationale is I'm NOT going to attempt next cycle. If I was going to keep at it I would have stuck much more closely to the diet. So how do you think you've done? That would determine whether you should go for July or wait til August, I think.

Iluv sounds like you think your witch is coming :-( BOOO!

welcome Petey to a bunch of lovely helpful women...
no AF yet , no symptoms but then am on prometrium....i usually stop it when i see brown or red. no Af signs too...
this is mysterious....and hate this wait!

ttc5 i too stop most supps in the 2ww but go on to ttc the next cycle as i have long cycles and don't O before day 20 earliest so enough time for supps and BSD...after a point u care less.....

Cemas have you POAS? How many DPO are you? FX!

ttc5 - why did you stop it all during the 2ww? Many of the sups are safe for pregnancy so you really only need to stop a few in the 2ww. I'm still taking my fish oil and vit D. How long were you on the sups before the break?

Spicy - I was on the ig diet from December till late March. It wasn't too bad but it feels really restrictive after a while. In March I adopted Atomics philosophy of eat a ton of the healthy stuff and was much happier and ready for many more months of ttc. There's no reason to break from the GD plan as it's not focused on extremes (super high na/k and super low mg/ca) like ig.

Begonia - With very, very few exceptions I have maintained paleo, got more strict actually completely removing grains. Dh and I strongly believe it's why I'm feeling so good, the few times I strayed I felt nauseous and headachy. I'm excited to see how long I can maintain a no processed foods pregnancy before cravings drive me to evil lol

i am 13dpo today. have no more test but think AF is delayed due to prometrium. don't want to stop ir as there is always the faintest hope. usually prometrim delays me only by couple days. so will see.

what is Paleo 3PNB??

[3Pink1Blue]

Cemas - Paleo eating is basically about fresh, non-precessed foods. Lots of meats, fruits, veggies and nuts. We eat no grains, lentils or tubers. I did modified paleo while ttc still eating whole grain bread and potatoes but have since dropped those.

When will you test??

[princessap]

Okay ladies need your help please....We dtd last night as I had a positive OPK last night around 8pm....I just did another OPK and it is positive today around 2pm, but no more EWCM like yesterday. Should I do it again tonight or wait and see what tomorrow brings?? I usually O around cd14 and this is only CD11 so early for me! I was thinking I was o'ing due to EWCm and cramps and took a OPK just for fun!

[TTC5]

I'd miss it if no ewcm!!!

I stopped and started a pre natal multi v instead as I wasnt sure what was safe.. umm have been on supps since January/February so a while!

[TTC5]

Hmm, I guess people do do back to back attempts but I see what you mean about skipping the supps for the fortnight. Did you continue the diet during the TWW?

Not really, I was eating lots due to extreme hunger lol but was pretty girly... no red meat, far less potato, no more tomato or banana lol
