Conception vitamins ?

[love being a mummy]

I think those are great vitamins and I would have no qualms about taking them to TTC a boy.

Do be aware that the traditional sway diets hold that Vit. D is a girl supp because it helps with calcium absorption...but new research has come to light that indicates Vit D actually sways blue by raising testosterone.

Thank you. Do you think taking them for 1 month would be ok? I am taking EPO and L-arg at the moment but want to ttc maybe in Jan 2012. Is it ok to start the conceive 1 month before ttc ?

Atomic - when I booked in with the midwife this week she said they now recommend taking vitamin D throughout your pregnancy, which is new since I had DS3. Any idea why this would be?

Vit D is a bit of a wonder vitamin these days and so everyone is recommending it. I do think it's a great idea to take it throughout pg. It also may help prevent preeclampsia (altho that's a bit of a sketchy link).

My experience with Vit. D is that my son who was born in early May (so he was on board through the fall and winter months) had the absolute worst baby teeth that you have ever seen in your life, they started to disintegrate immediately after they came in, and had to have numerous crowns put on his baby teeth. (My older son had no cavities until he was 17 years old so it wasn't a matter of care or diet, because they were cared for and eating the same things). The children's dentistry specialist told me that he sees that all the time with kids born in springtime and he thought it was because of lack of Vit. D and sunshine when the teeth were forming, it makes the teeth not mineralize properly. So I took Vit. D with both DS 3 and 4 pregnancies and their baby teeth are perfectly normal just like my first son's teeth were.
