I just found out last week that I am preggo. I started IP in July looking to lose about 30 lbs and then we would start trying. It took longer than we thought, but i did not phase off while trying, and i ended up losing 62lbs - 10 from my goal before getting pg.
Once i found i was - and it is very early, i did not yet miss a period when i found out- i went to P2 for 2 days, then to P3 for 3 days, then to maintainence. The whole time on P1 i took a prenantal MVI for my second MVI of the day. As soon as i moved to P2 i stopped all IP supplements except for the cal/mag - i take 2 of those daily at dinner as my prenatal does not have calcium.
I plan to follow maintenance with additional dairy servings and protein for snacks in between. MaintInance is a very healthy way of eating while pregnant but I need to make sure I am getting enough dairy.
