Hello!
I've been eating a high protein diet for the past 3 weeks. How long after ER did you continue to eat a high protein diet?
Thanks ladies :)

IVF prep September 2013 cancelled due to Ovarian Cyst

    Siggy Warning







    My nurse says after ET you're considered PUPO, so you need to act and eat like you're pregnant. The protein dropped a wee bit down to 60g down from 80g. I am tired of protein lol. Good luck :-) ER is tomorrow right?

    Thanks for the info, girl! I've been eating a ton of calories to get 80-90 grams of protein! 60 should be more manageable for sure. That's the plan, we have our pre-op appointment in 50 minutes :) I'm still praying and keeping my fingers crossed. I'll relax for 10 minutes when these eggs are out, and then worry about the fert report ;)

    I hope you're doing well :) Love seeing your ticker!

    That's great... I've been eating a lot of carbs lately (not meaning to, but cereal and granola bars are easy and quick snacks when hungry)

    I started eating high protein while on BCPs and went even higher during stims.
    That's an interesting article, @jbasore1123 thanks for sharing.
    My acupuncturist wanted me on a Traditional Weston Price diet. I haven't been able to go all the way, but I have been gluten free during stims and eating more eggs, saurkraut and cheese (I'm a vegetarian!)

    I'm not getting 25% a day though. It's more like 16-19% which is up a ton from my typical 9-12%
