Is there a max time to be on the diet?

I know there is a minimum amount of time but can you be on it too long? We are going to start ttc in May so I'm back on the diet hardcore. If we don't conceive in a 3-4 cycles we will need to stop ttc until October. I could definitely stand to keep losing weight but didn't know if potentially being on the diet that long would lessen my chances of a girl.

Not in that time frame (esp. if you have weight to spare). I don't like to see people saying "well, I'll just do diet for a year or two before I start swaying because it's possible to adjust to it in that time frame (but of course moms with all girls are often eating very LE Diet style and don't seem to adjust over time!) But in terms of a few months like that, it should be fine. You may want to consider starting off on higher limits though so you don't cut back too far.
