| Comments? |
|
Ate much less than normal, lost a little weight and muscle mass, tried to hold off on breakfast till 11am when possible. Wasn't expecting to get pregnant because I was out of town away from DH in-between attempts and had done SU through 0 for 5 months prior (LP was 9-10 days until I took Progesterone creme this month.) After being on diet for 6 months, pH stayed consistently low. Felt very low stress and hope this helps!! |
