Okay, so here is the story. I did Atkins last year with amazing results-50+pounds lost. Then went on a 3 month cheat and gained 30 back. I'm afraid if I don't do something I'll just keep gaining and never stop so I cam back to Atkins (for many other reasons as well). However, a couple of months ago while at my doctor she said that my Endometriosis is getting worse. She told me that if I want to have a family I need to start immediately. I want to be a mom more than anything in this world...I just wanted to be at the ideal weight first. So...I'm trying to get pregnant. However, I'm still doing Atkins because it could be months before I get pregnant (if I do). Also, because I have a septated uterus as well, I might miscarry the baby. So...I guess my point is that I can't really plan the way other people do when they get pregnant. And it is more likely that I'll have several miscarriages. So, if I get pregnant I don't know if I should stay on Atkins or not...

Re: Trying to get pregnant and I'm on Atkins
Try and find your ACE/CCLL. That would require a bit of planning. Just go up the rungs adding 5 carbs per week and see when you stop losing. That would be your ACE. Mine is about 70g but it varies widely.
Continue to do Atkins as you will need to be as healthy as possible but once you get pregnant move to the pre-maintenance stage.
I have been trying for years for number 2 so to honest I will continue on whatever rung is appropriate. Whenever, if ever I do get pregnant again then at least I know I need more than 70 to be out of ketosis.
Good Luck to you!! -
