    If you are trying for a baby... You shouldn't be doing a VLCD!!!!

    Thank you.. I am closely supervised by a doctor and dietician (weekly) and I as soon as I find the positive result, I will stop the shakes..

    And neither of them have an issue with a woman trying to conceive being on a liquid low calorie diet? Wowzers. No way my GP would advocate something like that. Good luck.

    They just told me to be on prenatal and test and stop it once I get it


    Did your doctor tell you that being on a VLCD can cause you to stop ovulating? Your body needs to know that it can support growing a baby, and will not even give you the opportunity if you are not getting the required calories. If you want to get pregnant, you need to eat a sensible number of calories, not just take a vitamin and drink a shake. Take this advice from a woman who spent a year and a half trying to have her second child. I did a lot of studying, and can't even begin to estimate the number of women I saw struggling because they were not eating enough
