    Vitamin D3

    Anyone take Vitamin D3? My RE's office called and said it was low and wants me to take 2000. I don't know how low, I will get a copy of everything tomorrow.

    I am. Mine was low too. I always get low in the winter. Atomic can tell you how much to take, based on your numbers that won't ruin your sway! I was worried about taking it too, but it does help with egg quality if you are low.

    I took 4000 IU daily over my 3 month sway break last summer. And I do take 1000IU on and off occasionally while swaying to keep my levels from dropping too low. I am basically a vampire so the only vit D I get is from dairy.

    You can't get a girl if you can't get pregnant and vit D is essential for fertility.

    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    I take 5000 iu a day and mine was super low. I would say if they only wanted you on 2000 that yours wasnt horribly low.

    Don't know if it hurt my chances for a girl but it is super good for baby.
