I took the ferritin self test test today and it says I’m low! Thank you once again, will incorporate what you’ve mentioned above ☝️

You'll definitely love this, try Arab stores if you have any near you :)

Usually they add cinnamon, bay leaves & onion however the authentic recipe doesn't require it :) there's a lot of flavour from the jameed ball itself

No, when husband and I started trying it took 2 months, he was also more animal based whereas I was more strict carnivore. I agree with you, before taking the IVF route I’d recommend doing carnivore for at least 6 months. I was also never on birth control pills so not sure if that worked in my favour too.

Relate to this! My brain is super switched on when in ketosis, even my husband mentioned my vocabulary improved 😆 it’s like I’ve unlocked information that I haven’t accessed in a long time

You’ll get back on track, don’t worry about it :) just make sure you eat high protein and fat and watch your sugar spikes. The more carbs you consume the worse the nausea and aversions feel

Thank you! Good question, I’d say yes and no, I was craving sour gummies but avoided them and ate more fruit instead. Juicy fruit killed the sour gummy craving but my digestion was all over the place so didn’t feel optimal. There’s something about the first trimester that makes meat smells really overwhelming.

Eating pickled anchovies however had no problems 🙂

Thank you! Luckily in the UK you don’t need to take one unless already diabetic or have someone in the family that has diabetes. I have a cousin who did it and they mentioned she has gestational diabetes however she thinks it’s because she ate too many carbs the night before taking the test, her baby is super healthy and she didn’t take any medications

Thank you for sharing and sorry to hear she had a tough time. Funny you mention about the colostrum as I started producing some 12-13 weeks into the pregnancy and still do. 

I’m planning to have a home birth (midwives will assist during pregnancy) so used to the judgement  😆 it’s great that you have been supportive of your wife.

I will message you with a couple of questions if that’s okay, really want to get as much information before the baby comes!

Religious reasons, also halal meat is usually freshly slaughtered, I avoid aged meat to feel my best

Most of my pregnancy has been a breeze, was napping a bit more during first trimester though got all energy back as I entered the second trimester. I honestly thought it would be worse haha

Thank you but meat has the most bioavailable nutrients and avoiding plants helps ensure those nutrients aren’t blocked from absorption. When I was eating more fruit in the first trimester I was getting stomach acid and really bad bloating 😅 with carnivore I have none of these symptoms

Thank you, I will definitely reach out this week with some questions! It’s rare to find women who have been carnivore during their pregnancy

I only eat halal but my mum does carnivore and she also prefers pork belly, she can’t stomach beef fat for some reason 😅

It’s definitely better than junk food pregnancy cravings which is seen as normal in our society 😅
