atomic, one more question...do you think that taking a small dose of zinc would help me with ovulation and lining? i don't eat any red meat, haven't for two years. i used to when i conceived both dd's. read online about zinc and iron being important for healthy ovulation, both of which i probably am low in. thoughts either way?
The supplement won't do you as much good as eating the foods your body needs, not for the changes you are looking for anyway. If you really don't want to eat red meat, try oysters, salmon, lobster, egg yolks, kidney beans, chickpeas, brown rice, peas, cashews and mushrooms. You can add a zinc supplement with the food if you'd like. :)
thanks cosmo!! i'd prefer it via food sources, so that's super helpful! hope you're feeling great!
Yes, please take 30 mg iron (do not get the ones that are in the 100's of mg as they are badly absorbed and make your tummy upset) and 8-15 mg zinc 3x a week from here on in. Just as a preventative measureQuote:

Are you already taking a prenatal??
Does it not already have zinc and iron in it?
If so, just continue with the prenatal only.
I was taking this one 3x/week. Target : Expect More. Pay Less.
Should I just continue that instead? Or supplement with iron/zinc in addition on the other days?
Yes, just continue with those. You're already taking that amount in the prenatals.
I wouldn't add in more than that personally, but it's your call to make of course.
I seriously doubt that zinc is your issue since you've been taking them.
Sorry atomic, I somehow missed your response. How do you feel about red raspberry tea leaf tea or pill form?
