Is it ok to be at a calorie deficit/ try to lose weight while TTC?

Question

I’m trying to lose weight to get to a healthy BMI before we have a baby, but I’ve read that you shouldn’t try until you’re at your ideal weight. I just don’t want to wait to start trying. I’ve got about 30 or 40 pounds to lose to get to a good weight, so theres no risk of being underweight

Answer

It might make you less likely to conceive while at a deficit, but I don't think it would harm anything as long as you stopped doing that as soon as you got pregnant.

Answer

There’s been many people that have gotten pregnant while losing weight. Yes it’s idea to be at your goal weight before getting pregnant but not necessary.

Answer

I think it depends on your current lifestyle. Definitely talk with your health care provider about this. 
I spoke with mine, my BWI is just breached the obese category and she said that with increased exercise/change of diet while pregnant might lead to not gaining weight or even loosing little. 
So yes it’s possible but definitely would need to be under guidance from your doctor.
