Q. I received a HCG trigger shot on tuesday and am ovulating today. Is it still really important to follow my PCOS strictly? or can I have, say, rice with my dinner?
From my understanding, the low-glycemic diet is mainly helpful to avoid cysts, but is it helpful for implantation and fertilization too?

A. Following the diet isn't going to help with implantation or fertilization, BUT there is something else you should be aware of.
I never had signs or symptoms of PCOS and didn't know I had it. When I was having a difficult time getting pregnant with my second pregnancy I sought the assistance of a fertility specialist. He asked about my previous pregnancy and I told him I had had gestational diabetes throughout the pregnancy. He quickly guided me into the ultrasound room and confirmed PCOS. Apparently these two things go hand in hand.
You are probably OK to have rice with dinner tonight, but you should start considering menu options for a diabetic diet anyway because you have a higher likelihood of developing gestational diabetes during the pregnancy (should you conceive) and if you do, you have a 50% higher chance of developing Type II diabetes later in life. Is brown rice an option? If so, limit your portion to 1/3 of a cup and try to slightly increase your protein intake. Or you can take a 20 minute walk after dinner.
I'll include a link to diabetic recipes below, in case you find you need it. If you don't also have a family history of diabetes you might not get tested until you're around 24 weeks pregnant, but if you do, you are likely to be tested around 8 or 10 weeks, like I was.
I wish you the best of luck and success!

Is it safe to take soy protein shakes while trying to conceive?
Q. We have been TTC for a while now, and I am wanting to lose some weight. I am considered over weight by my bmi by quite a bit. Is the soy ok to take while TTC? I know some women take Soy Isoflavones to make themselves ovulate but they only take it for 5 days and at the beginning of there menus, and I have heard that you shouldn't take the Soy Isoflavones after ovulation, so is this shake the same thing?
A. I would highly recommend whey over soy:) Whey protein contains many of the same components found in human breast milk and for this reason, is a key ingredient in a wide variety of infant formulas, including those for premature infants. Certain types of whey protein based infant formulas have also been shown to help reduce crying in colicky infants. While breast-feeding is preferred, infant formulas containing whey protein are the next best thing when breast-feeding is not an option. In addition, whey protein is an excellent protein choice for the expectant mother who needs increased amounts of protein. Pregnancy can increase the body's protein needs by up to 33%. Before making any changes to their diet, it is recommended that expectant mothers consult with a physician to determine their unique protein needs. My wife needed to take extra protein with all of our kids and she ended up drinking a high quality chemical free whey product without any fillers or additives. Hope this helped.

10 weeks pregnant and all I can eat is fruit, yoghurt and Fruit and Fibre Cereal, is this bad?
Q. I can't handle the taste and smell of meat, Quorn (a meat substitute) or vegetables. Eating it makes me incredibly nauseous. This is my 2nd pregnancy and its a far cry from my first (I only went off meat). I had gestational diabetes during my first and I am desperate to prevent getting it again.
A. Especially this early on, eat whatever you can. When I was around 10 weeks, I basically lived on apples and powerade. Slowly I was able to add more things to my diet, but at 20 weeks, there are still plenty of foods I can't eat--like meat.
Fruit is really good for you, and so is yoghurt, so keep it up! You can slowly try to add more things to your diet, but don't force yourself, and take it slow. Hopefully over time, you'll be able to eat more things, and you'll be able to expand your menu. That's what happened to me, thank goodness!
