You can get sunlight, it's just that Vit. D is believed to raise testosterone and may sway blue.

For most people, your body is able to store many months of Vit. D in your body fat and you don't need it (plus the LE Diet does offer opportunities to get Vit. D via diet, just not the massive amounts present in supplements.) Some people, who don't get much sun otherwise, are dark skinned, and/or don't eat much dairy, may be a little lower in Vit. D to start out with but you cannot know that without a blood test.

I'm also a bit concerned about lack of vitamin D, given there is so much out there at the moment of its importance during pregnancy in developing baby's healthy teeth / bones.
I know the diet is no supplements, but I'm tempted to take a vitamin D one - does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks

Take it during pregnancy!!!! I think Vit. D prior to pregnancy sways pretty strongly blue, plus your body is very able to store it.

Thanks For clarifying Atomic, I've upped my frolic acid already and I'll be on massive nutrient overdrive when I get my bfp. For now, I'll hold off. Thank you
