I haven't gotten my BFP yet, but I've got a gut feeling that I'm pregnant, so I wanted to know, if/when I get my BFP, what supplements should I discontinue/taper/reduce?

I'm taking:

Women's One-A-Day Vitamins
Wheatgrass Pills
Probiotics
2000 mcg Folic Acid
300 mg Calcium
400 IU Vitamin D3
100 mg CoQ10
2000 mg Fish Oil


Also, should I switch from the One-A-Day Vitamins to a prenatal? Thanks!!

Wean off fish oil starting right away by spacing doses.

Coq10 wean off at BFP.

I'd just drop the wheatgrass

Folic till end of first tri, then wean off.

I'd continue eveyrhting else

I should keep taking all 2000 mcg folic through the first tri?

Yes. I don't like you guys cutting back on the level your body is used to, until the neural tube has closed at the end of the first tri.

Many of us are prescribed 4000-5000 mcg during the first trimester if we had a baby with neural tube defects. I took it twice after my 3rd son was born with mild spina bifida.
