    Make sure you take a prenatal vitamin for the folic acid if you are trying to conceive. It will prevent neural tube disorders in the baby.

    Were you under a doctor's care on the vlcd? If not, get a check up and blood work so you know if you have any deficiencies. Vlcd is very stressful on your body and messes with your hormones. I'd suggest a checkup with blood work and a referral to an RD. I'm no expert on fertility and Nutrition for pregnancy so I have no suggestions there.
