Could it be the carbs?

I believe people are picking on you because those are all the symptoms of pregnancy. Better check. If not- could be PMS. Cutting carbs will not cause those problems.
or could it be? that just perhaps...she's trolling?0 -
It sounds like you are already pregnant.

Yes it is most definitely the carbs... Make sure you eat a lot of Tuna, hot dogs and sushi as well. That will counteract the effect of the carbs.
Well I like all of those but I heard if you eat too much tuna you can get mercury poisioning. Could that cause trouble for me since I am trying to have a baby?
I think they were being sarcastic. It's known that tuna and sushi may have really high mercury levels and if you have a high load, it will be high for your baby too. Not good. And hotdogs? Definitely NOT healthy. Try to eat unprocessed, natural, free range, non-pesticide sprayed foods if possible. Lots of free range meat, eggs, wild fish (low food chain and/or short-lived like salmon) and fat (coconut oil), some nuts and seeds, and all the veggies and some fruits.
When you are planning on getting pregnant, it's really important to get hyper-aware of toxic materials that are everywhere in our daily lives, and try to limit them. They go into your baby (and child) and will affect their health for life. Toxic stuff is in cans, plastic, many cooking tools, household cleaning products, air freshener sprays (yuck!), laundry detergents & softeners & Bounce sheets (even more yuck!), personal products (shampoo, get rid of the perfume!), carpet (offgasses forever, but extremely toxic for the first few months), upholstery (keep your old furniture and car!). Just a suggestion, it would be useful for your, and your future child's, safety to be aware of what toxic substances are in what. Get to know what ingredients are ok and what are not. For instance, if you currently use chlorine bleach, it's easy to switch to hydrogen peroxide. It's overwhelming and depressing trying to be a mom and chemical engineer, and it's hard to avoid everything, but you will be better off to make informed choices.
This info is all my own opinion and suggestions. Take it or leave it.0 -
You sound pregnant, it doesn't take long, you may want to check.My husband and I are trying to have a baby, so I figured I would switch up my diet to get in shape before getting pregnant. I started doing low carb but it's only making me gain weight! It's weird, the only place I am gaining though is my belly area and my boobs seem to be getting bigger. I'm always hungry for the weirdest foods now! Am I just having weird cravings since I have cut out carbs? If I start eating carbs again, will my stomach and boobs go back down?0 -
It sounds like you are already pregnant.
That's what I was thinking as well.
^^ what they said
I don't think so. We have only been trying for about a month now.
It only takes once, hon 0 -
Are you sure you are not already pregnant?0

Ummm I am a little lost here? Why is everyone giving this lady the worst advice possible?0

With both of my kids, it only took a month -- a handful of "tries" and BOOM, both times. You should take a test.
(P.S. The test can be negative if it's early...take it twice, a week apart.)0 -
Nah, it's not the carbs. I say eat more carbs in the form of pickles and ice cream!0

What is a forum troll?? I'm new here and have no clue what is going on...0 -
The last 3 times I got pregnant, I fell pregnant while doing low carb ... I have PCOS and the low carbing helped me ovulate. And I was not TRYING at all either of these last 3 times.... so even if it's only been a month take a test !0

I would limit seafood to no more than once a week. Fresh water fish is ok to do more often. I never heard about tuna and carbs. I would also talk to your doctor about your diet. Make sure you get plenty of all food groups and go ahead and start on a multi-vitamin. (make sure it contains folic acid)
The gain in your boobs could be hormonal. Maybe it's all psychological, but when my hubby and I were trying to get pregnant, I started feeling pregnancy symptoms. Hormones are weird.0 -

That's what some people around here like to call new people when they ask questions. In general, a forum troll is someone who signs into websites under alias names and makes controversial statements with the intent of starting a flame war. (That is, getting people mad and arguing.)0 -

When I was pregnant, I gained weight in my butt too. If she didn't gain weight in her butt, maybe she is just getting fat?
True..maybe she's just getting fat
Yea, I think she's just getting fat. She's probably eating too much sugar. Sugar is evil and makes you gain weight.
When you do low carb, you don't have much sugar in your diet!0 -

Because it's all a joke. Her first question wasn't serious.0 -

Do we really know that though? She might be completely serious. It's up to OP to say!0 -

I am a complete liar. I was really bored this morning. I do apologize if anyone got hurt. Carry on.0
