Couldn't hurt I don't think!

Ditto that, it can't hurt! Make sure you go for one with the right level of folic acid...that seems to be one of the main things. I think a lot of brands are similar, though I've seen people report stomach pain after taking so make sure you follow the instructions (mine have to be taken after a meal). I take them in the evening after eating and haven't had any discomfort.

I take the pregnacare ones but they make me feel sick in the morning so I always take mine in the evening.
I just started taking mine when we stopped contraception.

Hi!
I'm hoping to ntnp next march as well
I came off bcp 2 weeks ago and decided to just continue taking regular vitamins and to take an extra folic acid supplement.
Good luck!

Getting broody when you do start ntnp it's important to take a pregnancy one as they don't contain Vitamin A (I think) which is not recommended in pregnancy.

yeah you're right RK, too much Vit A can be harmful. I think pregnancy vits contain less, and they have the vegetable form of Vit A (carotene) which is OK. It's the animal form (retinol) you want to avoid.
