    Can I/ should I start taking prenatals in 2WW?

    Hi ladies,

    Now that the deed is done, should I start taking prenatals? Can they sway after O? Also how do we bridge from taking the separate folic acid to the prenatal?

    Also, I had to stop cranberry cold turkey as I know you are meant to take after O and my O came three days early so had to stop suddenly I hope this will be ok...

    Thanks

    I wouldn't. Not in the 2ww. I don't think they "sway" in the 2ww but if you don't get pg, then you have 2 weeks under your belt of vitamins. The first 2 weeks they aren't really drawing anything from you anyway.

    I"m not sure about the folic acid...I know I have read it somewhere though. Just keep taking what you have been for now till BFP and then start that process

    I think on IG people did stop taking cran cold turkey. Not sure what the current thinking is.

    no you shouldn't stop-start vitamins. Start taking them when you get your BFP

    folic acid should be continued through the entire first trimester of pregnancy and then gradually wean off over 2-3 weeks

    that is why I don't recommend cran

    I did, with both my sways, but that's because I had a ton of symptoms right away and I just knew that I was most likely pregnant. Also for this sway, there was no way I could ttc for the next few months anyway so I figured it couldn't hurt.

    BUT I agree, in general, I would advise to start taking prenatals once you get your BFP
