Anyone taking pregnacare?

[Mrs G]

I completely agree with bexy. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause big problems in an unborn baby, especially folic acid and should be taken by every woman ttc, not just those on other treatments.

As far as I'm concerned, it's our responsibility to make our bodies as healthy as possible, taking vits, eating healthily, cutting out cigarettes, drugs, alchohol etc etc if we want the priviledge of becoming mothers. Tbh, taking a couple of vitamin pills every day is no great hardship. At the moment I would eat/drink/take/do pretty much anything to increase the chances of a bfp and the health of my baby.

As far as I know vitamins are not available on prescription. I always stock up in Boots on 3for2!!

I take Pregnacare conception but also feel it's a waste of time somethimes but Mrs G has given me renewed inspiration. It's easy to lose sight when you've been trying for a while but i'm gonna go and take one right now! I feel all positive again!

NB - Lovin the Bulldog profile pics - i've got one too. Can't wait for my little bear to meet my baby - when we get one! they are supposed to be fantastic with them XXX

Sorry if anyone thought that was a bit of a rant.... Am pretty sure is on her way and am feeling really frustrated that all our efforts are going to waste each month.

If nothing else though, I would DEF take folic acid, I have read some really awful stories about what a lack of folic acid can do to babies.

That was an insiring rant! I really have gone and taken a vit! That's why i like this site. No matter what stage of anger, despair or frustration your are at, there is always someone who can talk that bit of sense that you need right now.

You get it off your chest girlie, we all have to now and again. I hope doesn't come for you, you sound very commited to the cause.

 

[Mrs G]

Not sure about committed, more like crazy and obsessed!!
Thanks

Hey Sickovwaitin,

How funny that you also call your bully a bear - I call mine Arthur Bear

Agree with everything said about vits and folic acid - I have sometimes fallen off the wagon so to speak but one little pill everyday will hopefully save so much heartache in the future so am fully committed to taken them daily even after 2 years ttc!

I also stock up on the Boots 3for2 deals!

I take a multi vit that has 400 of folic acid

TBH after 18 months I got fed up of paying more for something with a fancy label but the same % of vits as what I use now.

I can honestly say I have tried almost every brand, combination and different vit and mineral and I'm still infertile ... yes it's important to have the correct stuff ... do you need to pay lots for it .. no.

I might up-grade to Zita Wests brand once pg as they have very very good reviews

Do the conception ones help with egg quality? I want to make sure I have the best possible eggs before egg sharing but cant find anything that helps.
