I can't find the info. What vitamins, drinks, etc should I be doing? All I can remember is that I can't do the BSD. I am assuming I shouldn't do ASG either?

Hobber - thanks for posting this thread. I was looking for this info too.... good luck this cycle... hope you get your blue bfp.
I think I will continue fish oil, prenatal, folic acid.. not sure about the rest.. I am not really taking anything else anyways... i got wheat grass and royal jelly (this is nasty) and taking it occasionally now but I won't take them in 2WW.
What sups/drinks did you take?
I would swap to a pre natal :) That's what I will do anyway x
I am/was taking:
fish oil
wheat grass
Royal Jelly
Bee pollen
potassium
vit E
Vit D
prenatal
EPO
Drinks were:
ASG
ACV
Gelatin
v8
lemon water
Gelatin, V8 and lemon water would be the safe bets of the drinks :) I'd drop the others!
Thanks TTC5! Any idea about the supps?
Bump?
Prenatal and all vitamins is safe in the 2WW. Folic is obviously safe and should be taken throughout the first trimester at the same level you were taking it for your sway, do not decrease it until the first tri is over and then do it slowly over hte course of a few weeks, to the amount in your prenatal. Fish oil, wheatgrass, RJBP, and sane amounts of potassium (so if you are taking one of the 99 mg supps that is fine to continue, butCOT is not safe during the 2ww. Gelatin, lemon water, V-8, brewers yeast are safe in the 2WW. In Gender has flaxseed and false unicorn as safe during the 2WW but I feel like those are kind of unknowns and I would not personally want to risk it.Quote:

I would also suggest that you take a normal dose of zinc - like, the amount present in yoru prenatal and not any more than that - certainly NOT 50 mg!! It is not good enough to stop zinc during the 2ww because your body stores it. Also, please don't take supplementary Vit A (or cod liver oil containing high Vit A) even if you plan to stop it in your 2WW because your body stores it up and it can cause birth defects.
Unknown - ACV. I am really not sure about ACV and so I think it's best if you guys stop drinking it during the 2WW if for no other reason than there may be microbes in the Mother and I don't want anyone to risk food poisoning.
Thanks atomic!
Should I stop EPO and L-arg day after O ?
Yes, or day before O may be preferable because it gives your body a chance to clear it out before any potential egg is fertilized.
