Hi atomic! I just wanted to let you know that I got my bfp yesterday at 10dpo! I just wanted to thank you so much for helping with my constant rambling and confusion over the last few months! I would have been a stressed out mess if I didn't have you telling me to stop haha! In regard to coming off the le diet how do you think I should approach this? Like adding in snacks then meat? I'm usually a massive snacker anyway but I didn't know if it was the right thing to do going straight back to how I used to eat the day after my bfp! The folic acid aswell in taking 3 400 micro gram tablets a day should I be going down to one aswell which on the bottle says the reccomened dosage? I will let you know in a few months if we have a little pink one on the way! Thankyou so much x

Huge congrats!

yes it's fine to normalize now. You may want to take it easy the first few days especially with protein and salt if limiting that, but otherwise it's fine.

No please continue the higher dose folic through the entire first trimester of pregnancy (or you can use your prenatal as part of that) and only at that point, gradually wean back just to the amount in your prenatal.

I was never limiting salt but yeah I've had small amounts of protein over the past few days I still can't believe it happened so quickly! I got pregnant with ds2 after 3 months of trying to I was convinced this would take us a lot longer! Ok that's fine if the prenatals contation 4mg of folic acid would I just take two of the folic acid I've been taking now + prenatal or still take 3? Thankyou x

Oh if your prenatals have that much folic you just switch one for the other.

You are 100% sure your prenatals have 4 MILLIgrams of folic acid, right?? Not MICROgrams?

[Meg1612]

Yeah sorry I meant micro grams and I think it's 400 micro grams not 4... I must have been away with the fairys when I last wrote to you! X

[atomic sagebrush]

Ok. If you're only taking 400 micrograms then yes you need to continue the higher amount all through the first trimester and then wean back to the amount in prenatal at that time.

Ok! Thankyou x
