However please bear in mind that a long fast close to ovulation could suppress ovulation regulating hormones for that cycle, and possibly reduce fertility. Again please see Dr Pelz's work cited above.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding Fasting is NOT recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Please speak to your GP or Health Visitor if you have any questions about this.
