Zinc overdose?

I took my zinc this morning and half hr later was throwing up? Can zinc do this or would it be a tummy bug brewing?

Thanks for your help. I think zinc doesnt sway? But not sure 100 % i take it to strengthen the egg as i have history of miscarriages.

I think Zinc for DH boosts testosterone?

TTC5 can you skip the zinc for a couple of days then begin again with a lower dose?

Quick question. I am ordering my supplements now and on Tamara's list of girl supplements she has 50mg of Zinc. Should I be taking this? Does it sway boy?

I think Zinc does sway boy. Tamara thinks it only sways when DH takes it.

I think it was the zinc too - zinc makes my husband really sick also (he took it for colds). If you do need to take a break, try taking it every other day or even every two days rather than just quitting cold turkey, sometimes your body gets used to minerals at a certain level and doesn't like it when you quit cold turkey.

TTC5, Zinc has made me throw up as well. What I've found is I can't take it with any other supps, and I have to take it on a full stomach. Like, not from a snack, from a full meal. I usually take mine after dinner now and haven't had any issues.

Atomic could you look at the list of supplements I want to get for my sway and let me know what you think I should add or take away : http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...2090#post22090

I ~personally~ believe you should skip the zinc for a girl BUT I do know that Tamara thinks it only sways when taken by DH.
