I was feeling highly unmotivated this week after my vacation, and did not go back OP as well as I'd hoped. I really had no clue why I felt so unmotivated, b/c I'd really enjoyed the diet before vacation. I also was annoyed by nearly every aspect of my house (I hate this couch, I hate that we have no pictures downstairs, blah, blah, blah).
Well, this could explain some things: I am pregnant!
Yes, you read that correctly. I am pregnant. We've been trying for a year, and I really think this diet plus metformin is what made the difference.
It's not quite real yet. I went for my first blood test, so I know I really am pg, and I go again on Monday to be sure my HCG levels double like they should. I'll stay with my RE until I'm around 9 weeks (I'm about 2 weeks now), then I "graduate" to a regular OB or Midwife.
I asked about staying on "the beach," and the nurse said that since it's not a calorie restricted diet that I could keep following the plan, but that she'd advise me to add in some fruit and whole grains as well (basically, bump up to phase 2/3 while I'm pg).
Andy and are are cautiously happy. I think after the 2nd blood test I'll feel much more pregnant.
