Can you have frozen food/beverage after BFP?

Okay, I'm completely ridiculous here. I know it. 

One of the things I did during my "2WW" (before my BFP) was to cut out all cold foods. It was never really clear to me when it was okay to start eating them again. Do I have to wait until the end of the first trimester?

Because I'm sitting here at 6 weeks 5 days and I really really want a freaking 7-Eleven Slurpee. Like, ridiculously bad. Do you think I'm safe?

I never got any restrictions like that at all. It doesn't make sense to me because your body will warm most of them up pretty quickly anyway. I've heard of eastern medicine recommending that kind of thing, but I also don't quite get it.

Cold cuts maybe?

Sorry I'm not much help but I don't think it's necessary to omit them!

I've never heard that! I live on whole fruit popsicles, and everything seems okay here! I've cut out "cold cuts" and cold, straight from the fridge leftovers, but that's about it!

Yeah, it wasn't my RE that suggested it. It's more of the whole "keeping your feet warm at all times" line of thinking (keeping the uterus warm). I kind of felt like an idiot for ascribing to what I felt was irrational behavior, but the things we do for IF. 

I am so going to get that slurpee now.

I want a slurpee now too. Lol. Thanks!

I got grape. Mmmmmm.

We don't have 7-Elevens around here so I was jealous from the get go... Lol. That's my favorite part about road trips. Lame, I know!!

I've been eating frozen yogurt like it's my job lately! I'm glad you got te slurpee!

Cold cuts was the only thing I stopped eating. I do remember my acupuncturist saying not to eat cold stuff when TTC but I don't really buy into that stuff.

Oooooh a slurpy ... may need to send DH out for one

I agree with PP, I don't think there should be a problem with it. Despite acupuncturist advice, I ate cold stuff throughout IVF process and for all of pregnancy so far.

Were you practicing Chinese Traditional Medicine? Because I know that's one of the things it stresses in TTC (eating "warm"). My acupuncturist basically explained it as the uterus is located in the "basket" of the body and needs to remain warm. Consuming cold/raw foods requires a lot of extra energy in "re-warming" and digesting, therefore taking away from the uterus and other organs and potentially preventing pregnancy. I am not explaining this well and sound like a complete crazy person, but I swear it made sense to me when I was TTC! 

Anyways, I was told to do this until conception, but I definitely didn't adhere to it long after. Almost anything warm or hot made me nauseous, so I turned to ice cold things quickly! 

I think you're fine -- enjoy that slurpee!!

No, I was practicing "Googled Advice" :-)

I hadn't heard of that and definitely ate anything and everything....even cold cuts. Plus, during 1st tri, I needed ice water all the time...otherwise, I'd get queasy. Go for that slurpee...and enjoy a few sips for me b/c I'm too lazy to drive down the road to the Hess :-)

You're safe

A cherry and coke slushee mixed together is pure HEAVEN. I now need one in my life!

Oh man, must get slurpee tomorrow! I haven't heard anything about avoiding frozen foods, go for it! (And if you already did, hope it was delicious!)

My acu recommended only "warm foods" for my 2WW and 1st tri.  By the time I got to week 8, it was just about whatever I could get down and keep down.   I had a super vivid dream that a Slurpee cured my morning sickness...I gave it a try...but it didn't work (

I think you should be fine.  Enjoy!

The plus side of this is it probably at least tasted good coming up?
