Anyone underweight

[Princess Mom]

I been on the LE diet about 4 weeks now, I started at 107ish I’m now 102 I am almost 5”6 so I am underweight. I remember when being on LE diet while ttc my daughter I went from 114-109 and stood at 109. I been upping my carb intake I just don’t want to be on this diet longer than 12 weeks. I could handle no meat the snacking is hard for me. I haven’t been snacking though. I removed Mirena at the beginning of July, and I am not sure whether or not I even had af, I had some bleeding a few days after for a few days. I have no clue where I am at in my cycle I was going to take birth control till my attempt around November.

Do whatever it takes to keep weight on. Add another meal if need be. You are TERRIBLY underweight by 2 full BMI points below my absolute minimum cutoff and I think you will need to regain some weight in order to be able to get pregnant.

I have been on the diet for about 12 weeks now and am at a good place for holding steady now, but especially at the beginning it took me
Some tweaking to make sure I wasn't dropping too fast because I always hover near underweight too. When I made an effort to eat more breads like bagels, it stopped dropping or even went up lol. Then I switched over to all whole grain type of breads and that has balanced it well. I started basically by just adding a whole bagel to my lunch (in addition to my usual food!) and that worked for me. Also sometimes I feel like there's a lag time with my weight where I'll eat more/less and not see a change until the next week. Especially for us small gals- a couple pounds makes a big difference! Good luck!

Atomic, I didn’t want make a new thread. I’m still at 102 I been adding carbs, I didn’t get af yet, so I got some opks and seem I ovulated last week, I only had spotted fertile cm once hardly any, probably from Mirena. I’m on diet now 7 weeks. I was waiting till November , but probably will start trying in September. I don’t want to be on diet much longer and become obsessive. After my dd last year, I got into a dark place with food and my image and I don’t want to go there again,. I was going to go on birth control till October/November but I don’t think I’ll wait that long to try. I really want another daughter and my dh doesn’t want to prolong it, my dd will be 2 the ending of November so I want a nice close age gap.
I was going to hold off till after the holidays, but I’m already been at the diet and I don’t want to stop and re start. Any advice? Also how long does Mirena sway pink for? Thanks atomic

I want you to start trying sooner given your weight. Please do not go on birth control and then come off it again. It really doesn't have a good enough effect taken only one month or two to justify the potential trouble it could cause for your cycle.

Mirena probably sways pink for 1-2 cycles after removal.

Thanks I’m on diet about 7 weeks now was going to try this month but not sure

At the end of the day you have to do what feels right to you. I'd likely have you start trying now because I don't want to risk your ovulation but you're the one who has to live with it if you were to try sooner and get an opposite.

Thanks since I’m holdy steady at weight I most likely will wait till next month, then I will have full 12 weeks on the diet
