Has anyone heard of low vitamin D being a cause for infertility?

[Kezzybear]

Hi girls, I read recently that low bit D can be a cause for low fertility. Has anyone heard this? Any success stories ?

Thanks!

P.s my fit D is horrendously low!

Oops Vit D!

I've heard of that. I watched a documentary a few months ago, and that was one of the suggested reasons that darker skinned people never went north when people originally started moving from Africa towards Europe. The sun isn't as strong, so they didn't absorb enough vitamin D from the sun, which caused infertility. Have you started taking a supplement?

Yes, its definitely associated with low fertility, for men as well as women. If yours is low, you should definitely be taking a supplement for your general health, and it will hopefully help with fertility as well.

Here's some research on it:

Yes, my pharmacist prescribed 1000mcg vitamin e for my months ttc with extra folic acid. The vitamin e help increasing cm for the sperm to move easier and live longer and it also helps with producing healthy eggs.

Wow thanks for that, so interesting! Yeah I've started taking vitamin D3 supplements so hopefully that helps me! Also taking women's multivitamin and extra Vit C as my research shows Vit c helps with fertility too

Fingers crossed!!
