I agree with Lisa. It would be a VERY good idea to take an extra Vitamin B complex tablet every day. Women who are trying to conceive should have a good level of folic acid WELL BEFORE they actually conceive.
This vitamin helps the baby grow brain and spinal cord and nerves. A few years ago, a study in the UK found that giving women folic acid (preferably in a B complex tablet) cut down the incidence of neural tube defects such as spina bifida by 72%.
When this finding became very clear, the trial was halted and this vitamin supplement became standard practice all over the world. So get some B complex vitamins. These vitamins are water soluble so you cannot overdose. The excess just goes out of the body in the urine.
Low carbing may help people who have an insulin related disorder called PCOS that makes conceiving difficult. For normal people, it probably doesn't have any effect.
Even before you think you might be pregnant, go to the higher levels of good carbs that are found in Pre-Maintenance or Maintenance levels. NO research has yet been done to find out if ketosis has ANY effect on a developing baby, so right now, the recommendations I have read are to stay at Maintenance levels which will not produce ketosis.
If you choose carbs which are on the LC lists, or are complex rather than simple (no sugars, refined flours) you will probably be just fine. I hope it works out soon for you.
