Pre-conception Vitamins

[BlueWater]

I'm thinking of starting to take "Seven Seas Trying for a baby" vitamins that contain folic acid, iron and vitamin D
(At £4.49 for 28 tablets - I just want something that's easy on the purse)

What vitamin/brand name do you take?

Anyone not take any vitamins and why?

Hiya there,

I currently take Pregnacare TTC and Evening Primrose Oil! Pregnacare is quite expensive but I am from the UK and went into Holland and Barrett and got buy one get one half price. So all in all I paid £15 for EPO and Pregnacare.
I'm taking Pregnacare as it includes a variety of vitamins. There is a whole list on the back, including folic acid etc. Just general day to day vitamins. I'm taking EPO for the first two weeks of my cycle to increase my EWCM. It is said you should only take EPO up to ovulation as it can apparently cause small uterine movements which can cause problems for the egg to implant into the womb! I'm not sure how effective taking these vitamins will be as I started taking them 12th December, the beginning of my cycle and I am now on cycle 22/23! Just a waiting game now! Also, I have heard of Agnus Castus, if you really struggle with getting pregnant that is suppose to help massively to regulate and also using preseed (fertility aid lube) during bd will help. I have seen loads of people swear by preseed! I have only been trying for a few months myself, so if I don't get BFP soon, I shall be trying some new products to go with what I am already taking. I hope this helps 😊

I take zinc and biotine and iron folic acid and jusprine .. they are good but dont take them after ovulation only folic

I just take folic acid, I will start taking iron supplements now though as in my first pregnancy I needed supplements so may be prone to being a little low.

I eat a good diet and prefer to try and supplement that way if I'm honest as, like you say, some vitamins are so expensive!!

I take prenatal vitamins and coq10. Specialist said it gives eggs an extra boost

I take the seven seas trying for a baby and did do when I was ttc with DD. I always buy them when they are on 3 for 2 at boots(which has been every time I've been in).
