Picked up some proper vitamins last night, since "self diagnosing" I've been eating standard multi-vitimins we happened to have in the house. They had folic acid and iron, so figured that was a good start. Stocked up on slightly boosted B-vitamins and some zinc. Probably need more calcium (an excuse to eat cheese?).
I've made vague attempts to quit caffeine, which makes going for "coffee" tricky. I don't drink coffee, but tend to grab a diet coke whilst everyone else does. I've checked the caffeine content and it's far lower than a coffee (which searching tells me would be fine to drink once a day), but I think better safe than sorry. I wish places would stock other diet soft drinks! So today I bought a big slab of chocolate cake topped with a sort of chocolate mousse. Probably had just as much caffeine as the coke I ignored, but boy did it taste good. I still don't fancy food, so I'd only had a bit of salad and chilled (cooked) turkey (SALMONELLA! LISTERIA!) for lunch, I think the cake was allowed.
Home-made cheese-filled turkey burgers for tea were delicious though, it seems to just be "carbs" that I really don't want to eat. Pasta, rice, quinoa and bread just hold no interest. Yorkshire puddings however went down OK. Last time I had pasta I felt full to bursting after about half a serving.
Starting to wonder when I should see a doctor. Things online suggest either they won't see you until 8-10 weeks, so there's no point, but the a bunch of other people seem to be going for very early 6 week scans. I seem to have picked up an ear infection (putting earbuds in is agony), so perhaps a dual appointment next week is a good idea. I still feel like I should wait a while and re-test in case I'm imagining it all.
