Will Fasting Reduce The Chances Of Getting Pregnant?
I'm in my late 30's, have 3 children and am ttc. I am muslim and have fasting to do every year and am curious if absence of food and water from sunrise to sunset would affect my chances of ttc? Will slight dehydration associated with this kind of fasting lower the chances of conception?

Hi.
Fasting will not reduce your chances of conception, but it can interfere with pregnancy itself. As you know, in Islam pregnant and breast feeding women are forgiven from fasting.
Just make sure you take your prenatal vitamins as soon as you open your fast or before sehri.
Best wishes.
