Low carb (<40g) while TTC? Low calorie?

Hi guys, I'm almost 6 months out & have been cleared to TTC due to my age (40). I eat less than 40 grams of carbs a day & I was wondering if I can still get pregnant eating this kind of low carb, high protein way? Has anyone on this board gotten preggo doing low carb? Also, I eat 600-800 calories a day. I was wondering if anyone has gotten pregnant eating such low calories? Thank you for any advice.

Hi. From what i've heard you can absolutely get PG while limiting your caloric and carb intake BUT you'd want to up that as you're TTC and especially when PG because being in ketosis while PG is harmful to baby.

I've searched around, but I can't find any studies that actually say that ketosis is harmful while pregnant. Do you have any sources you could point me to?

Thank you everyone. Sprinkle baby dust my way!

Before my bypass I struggled with PCOS and went thru fertility. I used the insulin resistant diet. That seems to be the way that even now my nutritionist leans towards...the whole is you eat 7g of protien you should eat 15 g of carbs..they balance eachother out. I agree you do NOT want to go into ketosis..very dangerous not only for you, but for the baby! Good luck!
