Returning member, ttc a girl

Awesome! I wasn’t sure if it had to say myoinositol or not. I’m debating if I should just go for the more expensive one or not.

I know a lot of people are on this diet for quite some time, my husband and I wanted to try to conceive in June and although I do know that it’s not set in stone that we will conceive on the first month of trying, but I was still wondering, being that I have a lot of weight to lose, would it be safe for me to go from 1300/1400 calories a day to 1200 calories a day for the last month before our attempt? I just want to be sure I lose enough weight before our attempt, but don’t want to do 1200 calories the whole sway.
Sorry that was very long winded lol

As long as it's a name brand you trust, it doesn't need to be the more expensive one.

Very, very few people should be below 1500 cals. I would guess only about 3% of all swayers should be that low so please start off eating more than you think yo'ull need (I'd recommend the 1500 minimum cutoff) and see what happens. Weight may fly off, and in that case you should continue at the higher intake. If you don't lose at 1500-1800, THEN you can reduce SLIGHTLY but we do not ever want you to be in a situation where you're losing more than 2 lbs a week (it's ok to see large weight losses the first week on a diet then it should slow down).

This is NOT meant to be "eat as little as you can stand." It's meant to be a lower than normal, but still adequate food intake for anyone planning a pregnancy that will keep you ovulating. So resist temptation to cut back too far and too quickly!

I’ll stick with the 1500, I don’t want to stop ovulation. Last time around I definitely don’t think was healthy being at 1000-1300 calories the whole sway!

Like I said in another post I’ve already lost about 25 lbs due to illness and dieting possibly (probably most of it was from being sick)

Being that I am in the predicament that I’m in(from other post) would you suggest not starting the myo until I know I’m not pregnant?

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes plese do not start the myo untill your period arrives AND you've taken a pregnancy test. Don't just rely on your period, you have to actually test too since you can be pregnant with what appears to be a normal period.

Ok, that’s totally fine. Are dollar store pregnancy tests accurate? With my last pregnancy I didn’t get a positive on a dollar store test at all, but did on other tests!

[atomic sagebrush]

We've had good luck with them but I can understand not wanting to rely on them after that experience!

[Prayingforagirl67]

This is the latest I’ve ever been, still no pos test, I tested this morning and it was a stark negative. I’m just hoping everything works out either way. My diet was so not prior to starting my sway I don’t see how I could’ve conceived a girl (if I am I fact pregnant)

[atomic sagebrush]

FXFXFX for best possible outcome, whatever that may be!

Atomic, before I order, are capsules OK for the myo? I was going to go with this brand!
