Fiona624 - nice to meet you! I LOVE the low GI diet, I am so glad I have met someone else who is happy with the diet. I have always suffered terrible acne, while I was not ttc and on the pill my skin was fine. Since I stopped taking the pill I was feeling like a teenager again. After 2 unexplained x m/c my ob/gyn suggested that maybe I have insulin resistance or PCOS (which blood tests confirmed I don't) but I started the low GI diet anyway as it just seems like the way to go for general good health. After 3 weeks I noticed the redness and puffiness in my skin's appearance had eased, after about 10 - 12 weeks I had really clear skin and continue to. I do get little break outs around af time but just tiny little ones that go away overnight. It's funny now when I eat something really bad (like a big slice of cake) I always get a nasty pimple approx 3 days later then it takes another 3 days to clear. Amazing - I swear by this diet. I also lost a bit of weight since starting the diet too. Hopefully my new body will carry next bub to term.
There are some great low GI cookbooks - I love to cook so have been enjoying trying new things. Good luck hope you get your BFP soon ! ! !
Pash - he he he, re: mile high club. Imagine that story at bub's 21st - 'it was on the long haul to London all those years ago when it all began'...... Good luck whatever you decide!
XMuginsX - congrats on the BFP, wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Emmylou - Welcome. I'm sure you'll find lots of support in here. I hope you get a BFP soon.
LJ -Here's hoping that the easter bunny will bring you a BFP!
pbstar - am sure you'll be all relaxed without the temping and other crap. Hope you end up with a BFP and relaxed uneventful (other than all the happy fuzzy moments) pregnancy to go with it.
Bettyboop - how you doing?
Hiya everyone else - have a lovely Easter (if you celebrate it). Have some catching up with family and friends planned so am looking forward to that. Am actually excited about our friends coming with their 12wk old now, was nervous at first (worried I'd get upset) but now I'm excited so I hope that mood sticks. Af came in full swing this morn so am now on cd1. Starting clomid tomorrow.....nervous but hoping that am doing this for the best.
