I have decided to take a break from my vitamins for a couple of months and am only taking chinese herbs (together with acu). I do not really know what the chinese herbs consist of, my doctor mixes them up once a week depending on where I am in my cycle.

Thanks for replying

I have taken RRL tea as well until O. Not really for TTC but more so because I have endo and it along with other teas seem to help lighten my period. I see you are in the UK. I use Pukka Ginger and Tumeric as well, it is a yummy tea for winter and is a good anti inflammatory.
It may be worth keeping the folic acid and adding Vit D along with your Chinese herbs. Folic acid, as it is good to take while TTC so you are sure to have a good supply built up if you become pregnant. Vit D I hear is now recommended in the UK for pregnancy. I guess it is because people eat less oily fish than in the past and there is low sunlight. Vit D 3 is best.

Thanks! where do you buy Pukka Ginger and Tumeric tea?

I have been taking folic acid for over 3 years now so I think I've built up quite a lot so can do with a break. I've been taking calcium and it usually comes with Vitamin D.
