It came to 1200 calories or so mocha! The wine didn't go to my head funnily enough - and I thought I'd be hungry after only having the milkshake at KFC (it had almost 400 cals in it!) but I wasn't, very odd.

Wow - it's amazing how those calories can add up!

Whereas I was finding before that it was hard to get above 1200 calories, now that I'm eating sweets all the time, I'm having trouble keeping under 1500. I'm scared I'm going to start to gain weight if I get too high, since my body has gotten used to 1200 calories per day (though so far I'm still losing about a pound per week - I definitely don't want to lose any more! I was 112 this morning - I don't ever remember being this light).

That's kind of what was going on w/me and then a week later got my surprise. Before, I could barely get 1200 but then I was always at 1500, maybe even up to 1600 a few times (which is still A-OK for this diet, especially if you're trying to maintain). Hoping that's what's goin on w/you and in a few days you'll get your BFP - still WAAAAY early for a + at this point but early enough to make you more hungry.

DM - Hoping all is well w/you...

Zanacal, sounds like you had a fabulous night out w/the girls! WTG w/your diet!

Swish, is it DTD time for you yet???

Indira....I looked at your chart yesterday and it still looks AWESOME, especially when you compare it to your last chart. If you still haven't got a BFP, don't despair! Still early and my OB says never to test before 14 days.

Mocha, as I said in my last post, still waaaaaaay early for you to get a BFP but it's coming!!!

Real in-your-face nausea has set in today. I haven't thrown up yet but sooo close. I'm popping B6s and wearing my stupid acupressure bracelets. I want to just eat cheese (I think for the protein) and white basmati w/leeks. What is wrong w/me???

thanks ootb for chearing me up, right timing, just tested again, bfn.
Now I´m losing hope since I don´t feel anything today, tuesday and yesterday the slighest nausea but today no. Just a cloth of creamy cm that is unusal (sorry tmi). I´m thinking of buying an expensive test and only use that if AF doesn´t show on saturday.
sorry you´re feeling so sick!

The one time I was watching my tests like a hawk and got a BFP, it wasn't until 12dpo and the line was soooo faint. Hope the next few days speed by for you. The 2ww is hell! BTW, I'm not too sick yet, thank goodness. I've definitely had it a LOT worse so I'm feeling lucky for now!

Indira, yes still happening today, one bit of mucousy blood (sorry tmi) so bemused by it, don't think it could be a chemical as I got a bfn the dat before af came. 9dpo is WAY to early to say you're out, fx!! Mocha, any updates??
Today...
No breakfast
Lunch 2 pieces of toast and jam, bit of rice with balsamic, go ahead bar, strawberries
Dinner leek and mushroom risotto, strawberries, frozen yogurt
Sweets again!!

Thanks Swish

Indira - I'm 6dpo today, and I haven't had a lot of symptoms. I feel queasy every morning, but I that could just be the no breakfast thing and my imagination. My cm has turned from creamy to a sort of creamy/watery mix, which is weird for me at this point in my cycle. Today I had some af-like cramps mixed with a sort of stitch in my side for about an hour in the afternoon - could that have possibly been implantation? I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I don't really 'feel' pregnant.

DH is leaving for the UK tonight and he'll be gone until Sunday afternoon. I think I'll be cheating a bit while he's gone - since he's not a fan of my usual, salty, proteiny diet, I normally overindulge in these things while he's away. I'm going to try not to overindulge, but I'm sure I'll sneak some pizza and pesto in now and then as I feel I need a treat

. Hopefully I'll get my BFP on the weekend and can eat all that food with no guilt!

BTW, I was excited today because I found some pasta sauce with only 30mg of sodium per serving. For any Canadians here, it's President's Choice Blue Menu Primavera Sauce - I found it in the refrigerated fresh pasta section.

So good to know about the sauce! Thanks M

I'm seriously dying to know if you're pregnant! LOL! If you are, will you tell hubby when he gets home? Fx'd for you!!!

The rest of the day went like this:

Lunch: Bagel with melted cheddar and cherry tomatoes, packet Velvet Crunch crisps, Mr Kipling raspberry slice.
Dinner: KFC Caramel Crunch smoothie/milkshake
Snack: Glass red wine!

I didn't eat much yesterday so I'm looking forward to lunch already

So glad you had a nice time out, Z

and such restraint! Holy Dina!

I'm ok, thanks Blue

I'm so happy for you! Boo about the nausea

I really hate m/s. I get it until 20w pregnant and have to say that although I'm super excited to have another baby....I'm seriously scared about the m/s. I hope it passes quickly for you, hon

I'm sorry you're feeling down

I hope you have crazy temp jump tomorrow and get your BFP! Fx'd!!!

Afm, I'm flipping starving! I usually am when I O. So after thinking about the past 3 days and really looking at my charts and going over my bleeding, etc I am finally coming to terms with the fact that my cycle totally got the better of me and that it was a surge that didn't result in Oing about a week before the light bleeding. I always start with medium to heavy bleeding on the day of af so I should have clued in. Plus, after I O'd, my temp did not go high enough. So, I combined the 2 cycles, and it makes much more sense now. This was definitely a strong O- I've gotten + opk's for nearly 24hrs now, mega ewcm, super open cervix and last night I had such bad O pain in my left ovary that I had to lay on the couch with a heat pack on my abdomen. I had a big temp jump this am too. So, it's a 3 day cutoff. Makes me feel a bit better because the chances are slim that I'll have any swimmers left. (Blue- no comments please

) the only thing I'm a bit worried about is the fact that(totally tmi!) DH was almost doing IUI he was so deep when he erm...you know... And we used no lube(and there was ew mucus mixed into the brown spotting I had). I'm an idiot. Sigh.

Oh, Doula...

Got no words for you...just lots and lots love and good thoughts...

**purplepoet20** · July 28th, 2011, 11:40 AM

AF to CD7 I ate oatmeal at 11am and a light low carb dinner at 6pm... A few times I ate a little protein or some chocolate.

Since CD8 I have been eating plain white rice at 10am, 2pm, and 6pm... doing until the day after O!

I am still drinking 2cps of coffee (aspartame and coffeemate), 2 diet sodas, and 1/2 gallon of crystal light.

Praying for a BFP at 5-10 DPO so I can finally grill up some steaks.

**Mochagirl** · July 28th, 2011, 12:37 PM

Wow, pp...that's a lot of rice! You must be getting very sick of it! Good for you for being so strict, though.
