Pre-conception vitamins?

[2gorgeousboys]

Hey Ladies... :wave:

Just wanting to know what pre-conceptions vitamins you are taking or anything else you may be taking while TTC??

Hi,

I am taking Blackmores conceive well gold which I started 2 weeks ago.
The first 5 days I felt nauseous within 10 minutes or so which lasted about 15 minutes... that feeling has completely disappeared now. Perhaps it was just my body adjusting.
We are hoping to conceive in the next couple of months although it wouldnt bother me if it happened a little sooner :)

Are you taking anything at the moment?

:sunshine:

Hey thanks for your reply!! :)

I have been taking the blackmores pregnancy ones because it says to take them one month before ttc and i used them in my last 2 pregnancies... but I just went down this morning and brought the conceive well ones... they seem to have more vitamins that assist you while ttc, so thought i would give them a go!!

Ive heard many times that some women take vit b6 thats why i was wondering what other women take pre-conception, but just realised b6 is in the concevie well ones too!!

I take B6, Evening Primrose Oil, Fish Oil and preg vitamins (was taking FabFol now Fefol Multi-Preg). The B6 is apparently good at increasing LP and the EPO for increasing CM, which I think has worked. They are both good for PMS too which is a bonus.

I take Natures Own Pregnancy Platinum. I read all of the labels and have decided that one had the best combination of vitamins based on my research (especially folate, iodine and B6). I also take extra calcium (I don't have much dairy because it does not really agree with me) and fish oil (for a healthy heart for me and a good brain for future :baby:). I am going to start taking evening primrose oil at the beginning of by next cycle to improve my CM if I don't have any luck this month. :fingerscrossed:

Hi 2gorgeousboys :wave:

I took the Blackmores Pregnancy vitamins with DS2 while ttc and thought when I was ttc #3 I would try the Blackmores Concieve Well Gold (I didn't take anything with DS1 as he was a surprise!). I did find they made me nauseous everytime I took them, and I never got nauseated from the pregnancy ones. :confused: I was just VERY lucky I fell pg the first month coz I wasn't going to take them anymore after that. I think the packs come in one month supply and they are not cheap - I just moved back onto the pregnancy one's instead.

But they may not make you nauseous. Good luck!! :fingerscrossed:

I'm taking elevit and B6 and I'm making DH take menevit. Had a bit of nausea for the first couple of days when I took it on an empty stomach, other than that the major problem I'm getting is bowel related - the calcium and iron are not making my stomach happy! Oh well... :rolleyes:
I'm also taking extra folate as I made myself paranoid when I discovered that green tea interferes with folate metabolism (in very high doses which I don't think a cup or two a day will give me!) but I'm a stress head and definitely don't think it is necessary!

Hi

I was taking elevit, but after seeing the FS today he has put me on the following:

Elevet plus
fish oil
Zinc
Extra Folic acid
Berrocca

DH has to take

Aloe vera
Zinc
Folic acid
at least 10 pumpkin seeds a day
This is suppose to make very fertile sperm

Best Of luck with TTC
