Good morning all.

So yesterday my old aunt flow arrived, I've never been so happy to see her lol I actually cried. 1st injection down the hatch last night. I even managed to do it myself.

Stimming scan booked in for the 22nd of June.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do whilst stimming e.g. diet etc

Lots of love and baby dust

Hi Mrsgled1982. Well done with your first injection, and good luck with your first scan on Thursday. A good diet to have at this time consists of variety, however, I have listed some of the “good” things to have: Carbohydrates - Wholegrain bread and wholemeal pasta, oatmeal, brown rice. All fresh vegetables especially raw or steamed. Over boiling rids them of vitamins and minerals, pineapple juice, apricots, potatoes, all fruit and honey, beans, chickpeas and lentils. Protein - Organic meat if possible, poultry, fish, Milk and hard cheese, nuts and seeds. Fat - Extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil, avocado and peanut butter, mackerel, sardines, nuts (especially Brazil and walnuts), seeds, sweet corn and sweet potatoes. The things to avoid are too much sugar, processed foods, ready meals, butter, ice cream etc. A little is OK, but not all the time. Drink plenty of water and only a little tea and coffee if feeling deprived. Cut right down or right out – alcohol and smoking. Oh and don’t forget the Folic Acid! Hope this helps and all the best.
