Are you avoiding certain things (acne products, cold lunch meat, etc...)? When I got my BFP, I stopped drinking things w/ aspartame, sucralose, all those artificial sweeteners, and I'm being very careful about what I put on my face. I'm taking it much easier at work, taking more breaks, walking slower I've always been one to err on the side of caution though.

I've cut out lunch meat and hot dogs on the grill as well as tuna and sushi (boo). As far as beverages, I've cut out my coffee and Pepsi One (well, I'll allow myself one a week). I've also stayed away from my salicylic acid and my face is absolutely horrible! Ick!

*Generally* good?no coffee (except in ice cream form) no unpasteurized cheese, no artificial sweeteners. Today I did have a cold-cut sandwich though. at a buffet. there were no other options and it was something of a work-lunch. I guess I maybe should have just had bread and salad, but I didn't.
After 2 losses I'm being a bit of a freak about it. But I have had 2 cups of coffee in the last 4 wks....

I've been pretty good about not eating what we're not supposed to eat/drink...but not so great about eating healthy. The last week or two the only things that were appealing to me were, like, hangover food, lol...though it's been better the last couple days. I haven't really eaten a proper meal in a couple weeks (protein, veggies, etc). It's mostly just been soup or grilled cheese or something.
Definitely need to get back into exercising. Now that the weather's warmed up again, DH and I will get back to walking but I need to do more. Just been too tired/nervous to do too much.
I'm being VERY careful! I'm a vegetarian so I don't have to worry about the cold meat/hot dog stuff but I avoid caffeine and try to eat healthy!
I have a subchorionic hematoma and don't want to make it worse. I spent the last week doing pretty much nothing and that sucker didn't shrink at all.
1) I am avoiding sweeteners, too. Some doctors say that certain ones are okay, but no one really knows.
2) Are we not supposed to have peanut butter? I only use natural peanut butter - I wonder if that's okay ::runs off to google::
The peanutbutter thing is just if you have a history of allergies, to try and prevent a nut allergy. I cut it out all last pg and thru bfing, and only just got back into being able to eat it, so I really, really miss it! But I'd imagine if you don't have any history, you'd be fine!
I have not been using anything with salicylic acid and I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat lunch meat, hot dogs, or any fish/seafood anyway. I have cut way, way down on caffeine. Coffee has lost its appeal anyway but I've had maybe one or two sodas with caffeine since my BFP and I have a cup of regular tea from time to time. I also have stopped eating soft serve ice cream and unpasteurized cheeses
I have been using artificial sweeteners though (aspartame and splenda). I know it's not best but most resources I've found say that they are fine in moderation. I just prefer the taste of splenda to sugar in my tea and I don't see any reason to change this. I don't use a ton of artificial sweeteners, but I probably use them a couple times a week.
