Can Anyone please help..Atomic, I would really appreciate your advise. ABout Blue sway.

[Skyblue]

We are trying to sway for blue soon.I havebn taking One a Day Prenatal for over a month and after doing a lot of reading,I understand that diet and other supplements are equally important.Honestly,I am nervous to start a lot of things so I am thinking of adding more Folic Acid, Fish oil since One a day also has Fish oil Capsules and Vitamin D and Diet (havebn trying to eat a lot red meat and cutting down on sugar).
Could anyone please tell me the most important supplements for the sway for both DH and Me. The ones which are must and how much.I m going to include Robitussin or Mucinex,Lemon water and already using OPK to track O.I am going to be 35 this year.

Also DH will be taking GNC multivitamins and Fish oil..

Any help is appreciated.

Hi skyblue and welcome!

You are doing the things I think are most important. multivitamins, extra folic for you, fish oil, Vit. D and guanefesin are all what I think the most important things are. :)

Thankyou for your response Atomic. The information here is really helpful.
The prenatal I am taking has 800 mcg folic acid and 223mg fish oil,200 mg DHA and 23 mg EPA. What dosage of extra folic acid, fish oil and vitamin d should I be taking?

I'd take an additional 1200 mcg folate or folic (or so, does not need to be exact) broken into small doses and taken over the course of the day, and then Vit. D up to 1000 IU total.

Your fish oil/dha is good and I'd continue with that

Thanks. So does that mean no additional fish oil needed?

Yes just continue what you're doing. :)

Thanks Atomic. I got GNC folic acid tablets of 400 and 800mcg. How should I divide it? Also, I read that it's recommended to take 1000 mg fish oil. Is 223 mg in my prenatal too less? I m having a hard time finding guaifenesin as the only ingredient in Robitussin. Any advise there? I know you are super busy. Sorry for asking so many questions.

Since you're not doing the EPO you are fine to continue with the amount of fish oil. I am somewhat dialing it back on my fish oil recommendations for a variety of reasons and I think what you're doing is just dandy.

If you tell me the other stuff in the Robitussin I can help advise you. Sometimes the store brand will be just guanefesin.

I'd take 400 a few times over hte course of the day. Morning, noon, afternoon, with dinner, before bed. this is how it's best used.
