No: In general a good rule is to avoid all weight loss medication while pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Harmful effects on the developing child (fetus) are possible.

Not a good idea: Hydroxycut has quite a few stimulant which would not be good to have in your system if and when you get pregnant. I would focus on diet and exercise during this time to lose weight.

Not advised: It would be safer and more effective to lose weight first by adopting a sensible diet and exercising (and avoiding "gummies" of all types).
