Continue the B complex, nothing wrong with that! :agree: Some of the doses are a bit higher than the RDA but you just pee out excess B vites and none of them are at dangerously high levels. I'd like to see you take 1200-1600 mcg of folic (including the amount you're already taking.) thru the first trimester and then wean back to the amount in a prenatal.

What I would do is start by taking alternating one tablet, two tablets of the cal, mag (just drop the 3rd mag/zinc pill, I don't like you taking that much zinc) every other day for a couple days, then every two days, then every three days, then when you're taking it every 4 days (once a week) drop the pill. That leaves you with 600 mg calcium and about 130 mg mag, which is a fine and sane amount to take during pg.

With the RRL, I would go ahead and drop one of the pills right away and then gradually wean yourself off the other pill like I described with the cal-mag.

Okay so I took one and a half calcium pills yesterday.. so for today take the full two and then two magnesium and the full B vitamin and one raspberry leave capsule..
then I do that for 2 days correct? Or..switch one pill a day between the 2 I'm confused. :) Can you spell it out for me please? LOL
So with the 400 mcg folate in the B vitamin take the whole 800 mcg tablet? Okay.

Also, I drink A TON of milk daily (and eat yogurt daily) since I stopped my coke habit. Should I still take the full 2 calcium tablets? For some reason it scares me to take 1200 mg if I do conceive this cycle.

And next time at the store I will pick up D vitamins.

Atomic already covered it, but I just thought I'd mention that I've been taking a parental and an extra folic acid tablet daily my whole pregnancy. My mw thought it would be a good idea in the first trimester since I had just had the m/c so my body might be depleted, and after that she told me there was no reason to stop since it couldn't hurt. I also take daily vitamin D and calcium supplements.

I hope you get your BFP this month!!

Thank you Mocha!!!! :)
Me too! DH is getting suspicious already.. today he said to me "I'm not going to make you pregnant hon. I think you can get pregnant, and there's something you aren't telling me... that's why you are trying!"

I responded "Do you think I made that pink line on my preg test yesterday? Because I DIDN'T, it just happened!!!"

UGH... time isn't on my side here, I need to conceive! I'm thinking I will remove my signature and pictures for now.. and hopefully if he tries to make an account to spy.. he won't figure me out too easily? ;) hahahaha

How much calcium and vit D are you taking?

Calcium and magnesium are great for PPH x

I'm taking about 1000mg of calcium (2 pills a day of a 3 pill a day type of pill) and 1000iu of vitamin d plus whatever's in my prenatal. One of the reasons I'm taking calcium is I'm having a bit of a dairy aversion this pregnancy.

1)Drop 3rd. mag pill and one RRL pill now.
2)Alternate days between taking one cal/mag and two cal mag every other day. No need to split pills, it doesn't have to be THAT gradual. Do that for a few days then drop the second pill and you'll be only taking one which is a safe level of cal-mag. It won't hurt anything for a few days and then you'll be off it.
4)Total of 1200-1600 folic INCLUDING the amount already in your B vitamin.
5)With the other RRL pill, start taking it every other day, then every two, then every three, till you're taking it once a week and then you can drop it. Should take 2-3 weeks.
