It's up to you. Congrats on your pregnancy.

I just continued on with my usual shake - Sytrax Nectars in various flavors. I liked the chewable BellyBar vites because they didn't make me feel so sick, but use what works for you. I was put on additional Iron, B12 and folic acid, so make sure you ask for a panel earlier rather than later to make sure you're doing okay with your nutritional levels.

Otherwise, enjoy! I was also on progesterone for several months (injections; we did FET) and found that it did increase my appetite and nausea, but everything went back to normal once I weaned off of it, so if that's an issue for you, know that it gets better.

Oh, and DO avoid the gestational diabetes test later if at all possible. Ask to do the jellybean test or to do the fasting blood draw with no glucola. Seriously - I was terribly ill after mine and they even made me repeat it so I had to do it twice. Yuck.

Congrats on being newly pregnant!! That's amazing! How long were you trying for? I am hoping to get the go ahead from doctor in a couple of weeks. I had some preuterine cancer and I am hoping it's still all cleared up!

I have had friends who drank the nectar powders, a GNC brand that I can't remember the name to and shakeology while pregnant. My friends loved it for when sweet cravings got too bad! when talking to them about the they all said they had their docs check the ingredients of what they were taking to make sure all was ok to consume.

Congrats again on being pregnant and good luck with everything!! :-)

Congrats! I too am newly pregnant. I found prenatal by New Chapter. I bought then on Amazon. Prenatal made me sick with my 1st child so I was up for something new. So far I haven't been sick from them.
