Will a high-protein diet get in the way of getting pregnant?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: High protein diets combined with complex carbohydrates, with moderate calories and exercise is an excellent start to attempting pregnancy.

Generally it won't: But it's important to be healthy before becoming pregnant. So, if someone is on a high protein diet because she's overweight or obese, it may be best to become healthy prior to becoming pregnant. Diets for weight loss during pregnancy are discouraged.
