So..... What vitamins is everybody taking... Might be interesting to take a poll no matter what gender we r trying for

The only supplement I am taking at the moment is magnesium. Partially because it's part of a popular girl sway, but mostly because it was recommended to help with my leg cramps and nursing aversion/milk supply issues.

I'm probably going to add folic acid and mayyyybe some calcium next month. Considering the vitex, but gotta do a bit more research into vitex+birthcontrol... And will be adding peppermint tea for self & hubby starting about a month before our actual attempt.

2boysJustOneGirl, I'm so sorry for your loss!! I can definitely relate. My 1st miscarriage was at 13+5. It was very difficult. I hope you have family support and of course, we are here for you.

I am taking folate, myo-inositol, and fiber. DH is doing peppermint tea, soy, and OLE. So far so good! DH is complaining that he is too emotional now. He blames the supplements. Although, I have to admit that I am feeling a bit more hormonal too. We've been on the diet for 3 weeks now. It seems like it's been so long, but also has gone by so quickly. I think it helps that we have the surgery to look forward to (only 4 1/2 more weeks!!!). We're really counting down the days. I'm waiting for atomic to finish updating my sway plan to include clomid. I'm not sure how my supplements will change because of it. Is anyone else planning to use clomid?

Well I haven't started any sway supplements yet but I already take a multuvitamens & b12 since I'm plant based..... Next month I'll start folate & dha.... Maybe switch to prenatal...... Thinking of adding vitamin D as well!
Anybody know the difference between multivitamens and prenatals?

[Ashforblue]

Oh, I'm also going to start drinking wheat grass juice now

I might use Clomid next cycle-I am scared to! I am scared about twins and also I am taking it without a doctors supervision so I worry a bit about the health risks. 😬

I'm not sure if there is much difference between prenatal and multivitamin

[momamia4]

As far as I know, the only difference between prenatals and multivitamins is the amount of folic acid and iron. Prenatals have more of both.

2boys, my RE is prescribing the clomid for me because I ovulate late in my cycle. I was really surprised that he told me he would only monitor me if I don't get pregnant in the first cycle or two. I am not particularly concerned about twins. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're going to happen. They run in my family. My sister has fraternal twins and my grandmother also had a set. The doctor told me with DS4 that I actually had a full-term second bag of water which they had to deal with when I delivered. They told me that I was originally pregnant with twins but the second one didn't develop for some reason. My mom had the same thing happen when she was pregnant with my youngest brother. She was originally carrying triplets, but two of the babies died early on.

Luckily, DH is fully aware of the increased chances of twins. His grandma was a twin, so I think he's kind of hoping that we get them. I wouldn't particularly mind either way, but I am concerned because of the risks associated with carrying multiples. Not to mention the difficulties dealing with two newborns. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
