Looking for "low carb babies" :)

JennaG · 03-25-2005, 02:56 PM

Hiya!

I posted this in another spot, but Shandril suggested that I post here instead (thanks, Shandril!).

I'm co-writing a fertility book and am looking for stories from women who were trying to conceive for at least a year and did not succeed until they went on a lower-carb diet.

Please write to me at jg@jennaglatzer.com if you're interested in telling me your story and being included in the book! You can use your real name or a pseudonym.

Need stories by Monday, March 28.

Thanks!

Hi Jenna,

Sorry I don't want to be included in the book (I'm sure you'll have lots of interest!) but I just wanted to share that my husband and I were trying to conceive for just over a year without any luck, and then we both started on a low-carb lifestyle. About 2-3 months later I went from a size 10 to size 6 (I lost about 15 lbs) and I got pregnant! We were beyond thrilled but sadly we recently lost the baby when I was 5 months pregnant. But I often wonder if this way of eating contributed to getting pregnant. I wasn't eating particularly low-carb while I was pregnant, but now have gone back on induction to lose the baby fat.

Best of luck with your book

Take care,
Sacha

Oh, Sacha, I'm so sorry! Thank you for telling me anyway, and I'm sending lots of cyber-hugs your way.
