TTC Pink Daily Food Diaries - August

[Mochagirl]

I know you tested once. Did you test again? Did you use an IC or a FRER? What symptoms do you have? Oh, wouldn't it be wonderful if you're pregnant and you can start fattening yourself up properly??!!

7am: coffee
12pm: homemade low sodium bun warmed and dipped in balsamic (yum!), 3 tea biscuits, peach
5:30pm: 2 servings rice pasta with mushrooms, leeks, creme fraiche and parmesan - I think this is my new favourite - it actually tastes like a real pasta dish, a bit of salad with homemade low sodium dijon dresing, a couple of pieces of steamed broccoli, a small leftover piece of DH's birthday cake
8:30pm: ground cherries, low fat vanilla ice cream, Sour Patch Kids

Calories: 1574
Protein: 38
Sodium: 1052mg (this crept up on me today. I used a bit of salt in my pasta because I thought my sodium was low but I guess that and the salad dressing tipped me over the limit)

I tested with a FRER last Sunday, I know wouldn't it be fantastic but right now it feels like that is just a dream! I have both lotiony cm and sticky cm, sometimes alot, sometimes not much but it's always there! I've been dreaming more but probably because I'm worried and I've had tingly boobs. Also my tummy is generally not happy! This is the most symptoms I've had and if I didn't know better I would think I'm pregnant. The thing is we all know you can get all those things and still get a BFN so the sensible side of me knows there is no way and its my messed up hormones making me feel this way. Also my cp is hard and low which I think means af is on way??? I would gratefully see it right now!
BTW, I do not know how you can eat that pasta, I can't do it anymore!!!!

[Mochagirl]

You mean rice pasta? I found a certain brand that has a spiral pasta that can almost pass for the real thing. Protein has always been the hardest thing for me to keep low, so at least by having that instead of regular pasta I can eat a bit more guilt-free. Honestly, I'm so used to it it doesn't bother me at all anymore! I also don't mind those shirataki noodles as long as they have a tasty sauce on them.

I hope you get some answers today, swish. Let us know what the doctor says.

[swish]

No answers yet but the doctor was really lovely and didn't ask any awkward questions. She's sending me fir blood tests and a vaginal ultrasound. The blood results will be in next week and are bound to show hormone imbalance. I've eaten soooo much today as I'm desperately trying to put on weight. I actually feel really silly that I've let my body get into this state, I've always been such a healthy person and it's hard to get my head around the fact that I've inflicted this on myself!

I HAVE to put some weight on now!!

[zanacal]

I love it swish - and it still sounds girl friendly!

[Mochagirl]

I was going to say that too, Z - Swish, you're so disciplined to eat girl-friendly foods while trying to gain weight. If I were in your position I'd be eating nothing but pizza and big hunks of cheese

[Mochagirl]

I also have to admit that I'm sooooo out of girl diet mode these days. Last night, right before bed, I downed a bunch of chips even though my sodium for the day was already way too high, and today I ate a bunch of curd cheese at 2pm for no reason other than the fact I saw it sitting on the counter and it looked good. I'm really hoping all this impulsive eating is a pregnancy sign, because I've been so disciplined for months, and I hope I'm not losing it now.
