Thank you so much Fergus for the response. I just spoke to a friend of
mine over the weekend and she basically said the same thing as you did
in regards to the carbs. But sweets are TOTALLY out?!! Wow... That
makes sense but what a bummer.
An RE is a reproductive endocrinologist. I made an appt in April and am
really excited to speak with her!
Thanks again.
Cindy
