Hi everyone,

Hoping I could get some answers here as I can't find that much about the 5:2 and pregnancy (apart from advising not to do it if you're pg.)

Been TTC for a while after 2 MC's and I know my weight isn't helping matters. I've been on the fast diet for 2 weeks now and finding it quite easy.

I'm wanting to lose about 3/4 stone in a year and then start TTC. Does the 5:2 impact or help fertility? Did any of you manage to fall pregnant once you'd lost the weight (or while you were doing the 5:2?) Did you periods change at all, or did they stay regular while doing 5:2?

Many thanks!
