HI, IM KERRY, I HAVE BEEN ON ATKINS FOR 7 WEEKS MAINLY TO LOSE WEIGHT, HAVE LOST 5.5KGS SO FAR. ALSO HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONCEIVE ABOUT 10 MONTHS, I AM 39 & THIS WILL BE MY FIRST TIME.I HAVE JUST HAD A LAPOROCOPY 10 DAYS AGO & I TESTED NEGITIVE ON THE DAY. SINCE THEN MY PERIOD HASN'T ARIVED, I ASSUMED THE OP WAS THE REASON. I DECIDED TO DO A HOME TEST & IT WAS POSITIVE! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, SO DID ANOTHER LAST NIGHT, STILL POSITIVE, NOW WAITING TO GO THE DOCTOR FOR CONFIRMATION! I REALLY WOULD HAVE LIKED TO LOSE ANOTHER 4 TO 5KGS. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT WOULD BE HARMFUL TO STAY ON ATKINS FOR A SHORT WHILE( I WAS DOING INDUCTION) IF I TRIED TO EAT PLENTY OF VEGES & CHEESE, CALCIUM SUPS ETC? I THINK ATKINS SAYS YOU CAN DO PRE-MAINTENANCE WHILE PREGNANT? AS THIS IS MY FIRST I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANY RISKS?
