I just got a BFP. I'm still in shock and I'm more scared than happy right now. Is that normal? I feel like the sway was crap and I'm already tryin to set myself up for disappointment.
I didn't take any vitamins except folic acid a couple of times (I kept forgetting to take it). We had one attempt this cycle. My exersize is moderate. (I'm on a women's rugby team and we practice 2hrs twice a week. Lots of hitting and running. I work up a good sweat. DH has been drinking a moderate amount of soy milk. DH drinks 1-2 strong beers a day. I've been skipping breakfast (2 cups strong black coffee with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice sprinkled in) at 6-7am. Lunch at 11am usually rice dishes or soup. Dinner around 5pm. Usually 2 strong IPA beers a day.
My guess would be daily cal has been in limit (maybe 1800) and protein and fat maybe a little over. (Like 20g-40g per meal.)
I've been doing LE (with a couple cheat days when AF) for about 4months). I lost about 10-15lbs the first couple months, but have been holding steady and not losing or gaining for about a month or 2.
During the last half of TWW I pretty much gave up diet. I had a few cheats in there. No snacks but more portions. I feel like I screwed it up.

If you don't take folic acid and you're in your early 40s can it make you miscarriage do you think?

It doesn't help. No one knows why people have miscarriages but folic/folate is one thing that has been shown very strongly to prevent birth defects some of which can be incompatible with life.

Thanks Atomic. I would certainly be taking it then without stopping it. Good luck Tiger and don't worry about your sway too much.
