NTNP and some other questions

I would not EVER take progesterone with a 13 day LP!!

Yes you are quite correct, the reason why your progesterone was low with the last pregnancy was because it wasn't working out. That's how it works, the pregnancy doesn't send the right signal to your body and then your body naturally lets the corpus luteum break down and the pregnancy ends. Before doctors understood this fully, they prescribed progesterone thinking it was low progesterone that ended the pregnancy, but studies have shown that progesterone supplementation does nothing to help anyone get or stay pregnant and all they do is prolong a loss a few more days. So I don't recommend them.

Thank you atomic! I won't take the progesterone. Wouldn't know what I would do without all your help! [emoji173]️

Atomic I got a faint bfp yesterday at 9/10 dpo [emoji2] so excited and I hope I will have more luck with this pregnancy than with last month's.

I'm really unsure what prenatal I should look for and I know you have a wealth of knowledge about supplements. What would you advice what should be in it and in what dose?

And another question regarding diet. I lost almost 30 lbs since I started LE diet last summer. I'm at my lowest adult weight, bmi is 22 and I feel soooo good! To me it feels like I have finally found my biorhythm with skipping breakfast and eating two large meals for lunch and dinner. I'm scared of gaining weight really fast if I start changing anything. Would it be unhealthy for the baby if I continued to eat this way? Do you have an atomic pregnancy diet by chance? [emoji6] maybe I up my cals to 2000 (so far have been eating 1800 cals on pcos diet) and just make sure I get enough prot and fat?

No matter what the result of my sway will be, I am sooo thankful for you inventing LE diet! [emoji4]

Huge congrats! Sorry I read this and even "liked" it but must have closed the window without answering. Thanks for bumping.

I like the Women's One a Day (not the prenatals, the standard orange Women's One a Day) because it has just a good amount of nutrients in it, without having megadoses or any weird herbs and stuff. Too many places cram their prenatals full of massive amounts of vitamins/minerals and then toss in all this other crap but we don't even know if that is safe! Centrum is another good brand. Please just find something that has 100% of most things, you can go higher on Vit. D (up to 1000 IU if you want to) 18-30 mg iron unless you're anemic in which case you can go up to 60, but WITHOUT the massively high amounts of other nutrients.

I do like you guys to up protein to 60-70 g at minimum, 60 g fat minimum, and up cals to 2000-2200 minimum. (you will need to up this even more after you're out of the first tri.) I suggest you add breakfast back in because not eating can trigger more severe morning sickness.
