Dieting and TTC? Please Help?

We have been trying to conceive for 5 months now with no sucess. I thought, in the mean time, I could shed a few extra pounds so that I am at a heathy weight (I am 15 lbs overweight). I am doing the Master Cleanse diet and am on day 3. I have lost 5 lbs in 2 days already and hope to continue only for another 5 days or so. For those of you who don’t know, the Master Cleanse diet consists of drinking homemade lemonade and laxative tea before you sleep.

Is this bad if I am TTC? Will my diet affect this? Also, if I do get pregnant this month, would this constitute to malnutritrion for the embryo?

Please – no comments on the diet. The diet really does work and no you don’t gain it all back.

Thanks in advance.

So you are eating normally and then just drinking the drinking homemade lemonade and laxative tea before you sleep? or are you only drinking the lemonade and tea and no food? Im thinking that a lot of the first few lbs may be water loss, before you start burning fat.
I dont think its bad for TTC, as it is only just more than a week, as long as you make sure to eat healthy foods when you finish the diet, but are you eating anything during the eight days? I ask because you do need food in case your iron/ calcium etc stores are low.
