How many dpo tomorrow mocha? I'm waiting patiently for that BFP!

Tomorrow I'll be 10dpo. I tested right before supper tonight and it was still a BFN. This morning was the first time I really 'felt' pregnant - I was queasy all morning, had sharp O like cramps and kept getting sharp pains in my boobs, but I'm really trying not to get my hopes up too much. I keep trying to remember that I didn't get a BFP until 11dpo with ds3, so if I don't get one tomorrow I'll try not to feel too down. Now if I don't get one on Saturday, I think I might start losing hope, though I know that lots of women don't get their BFPs until later.

I was out babysitting for a friend last night, so I didn't get a chance to share my food for the day:

7am: coffee
12pm: 1 serving curd cheese, corn on the cob, 2 arrowroot cookies, apple
2pm: 1 serving curd cheese (I don't know how this happened - I wasn't even hungry yet - I just ate it on impulse)
5pm: 2 servings rice pasta with mushrooms, leeks, parmesan and creme fraiche, canteloupe for dessert
8:30pm: green grapes and Mike & Ike candies

Calories: 1604
Protein: 42
Sodium: 902

Not bad considering I ate so much curd cheese...

I'm officially 110lbs now, which means I lost another pound over the last couple of weeks even though I've consciously been trying to eat more food. I got another BFN today at 10dpo. I think if I get af this month I'm going to take 2 weeks off the diet since I won't be TTC again until October. I won't worry if I gain a bit of weight since I know how quickly I can lose it on this diet, and I'll make sure to leave 6 weeks before our attempt to get back into the diet groove. I really hope it doesn't come to that, though. I sooooo desperately want this to be our month.

I think that' s a good idea, I've kept meaning to message you to say be careful as you have lost so much weight and you don't want to be in my situation, it is worth working out your bmi, the information I've read says you need a minimum bmi of 18 to conceive. Also one of the girls said she read if you lose 10% of your body weight suddenly it can mean you don't ovulate every month. I don't mean to scare you, I just don't want you to be in my situation. I really hope you don't have to worry about any of this as hopefully you are pregnant!!

[Mochagirl]

Thanks, swish - I have to say your situation has made me think hard about this diet. I started out at about 130 and am now 110, so I guess I'm in the danger zone for weight loss. I've decided that I'm having a cheat night tonight and ordering pizza. If I'm going to take 2 weeks off from the diet anyway, I suppose I might as well start now, and DH is going out of town so I feel like treating myself.

[Mochagirl]

Ok, just calculated my BMI and I got 20, so I guess I'm still safe for now.

[swish]

That's good, just make sure you don't lose any more

I am SO hungry today! Alas I had:

Lunch: ww wrap with extra light soft cheese triangle and packet ww cheesey puffs. 2 Mr Kipling raspberry slices.
Dinner: Burger King! Regular fries with mayonnaise for dipping and regular coke!
Snack: 2 custard creams and a nice cup of tea

Hi everyone!! I haven't been on this thread too much lately... but I wanted to share with you what I am eating and would love to hear if you think its ok or if I should do more... I usually eat a good amount of calories within what I am eating. My BMI has dropped super low... so hoping it stays put for now and doesn't drop much more.

With that said, I have become used to this diet, but will be so happy when its over!

Here is what I am eating:
I skip breakfast. I eat mostly white rice, unsalted matzo, rice pasta, miracle noodles or no-noodles, skinless cucumbers, cauliflower, sugar free candies, TONS of crystal light and diet free caffiene free coke, low sugar or sugar free strawberry jelly (with the matzo), a very small amount of chicken from time to time (probably not much at all due to getting closer to my attempt), I use a salad dressing spritzer for just a splash of taste on the rice, noodles and veggies, and the occasional sweet if I have room with calories. I also usually have a couple reduced fat cheez-its or other non-diet types of things in very small amounts just for some flavor at my meal time if I have room within the diet.
