Vitamin supplements

[Jazmin]

Hi Atomic,


Yes I have started with the following. Really wanted to get hold of women's one a day but only in amazon for delivery. I wasn't sure if i should order from amazon. I wonder if anyone in the UK has done it in the past.

However , I started with the following as the time is flying. My sway month looked too far away and now it seems sso close.

- Centrum multivitamin ( for me and husband)

- probiotic (I started , do hus need it? )

- folic acid (myself only)

- Fish Oil - ( planning both of us) i need to buy when I am out probably today.

I haven't started vit D extra supplement yet. I thought to check with you as Centrum have (10ug) 200% vit D , which looks double of Women's one a day (25mcg) in percentage wise. Can you please let me know?


The other concern I had was with biotin. Centrm have 200% (62.5ug) and women's a day had (30mcg) 100%. Is that alright?

I have also started the following :

- 500ml of lemon water .. sometimes during the day

- one green tea a day about 500ml ( 3/4 time a week)

Is there anything I have missed that I should be taking by now for January sway?

How about DH? Is he ok with multivit and fish oil? What else can he take?? Supps / drink wise? He drinks good size cup of tea 2 times a day with limited sugar.

Thank you.

Centrum is fine!

I would give the probiotic to hubby too.

Re the fish oil, they have some that are vegan that are based on algae. Look for a DHA or Omega 3 supplement rather than fish oil itself (DHA/omega 3 are IN fish oil, so you can take other products that have those things in them and it's fine)

You don't need more Vit. D than that. And a little extra biotin is ok.

Hubby can take arginine (500 mg) and carnitine (1000 mg) if he wants to.

Ahh thanks a million atomic.

DH agreed to take them. I was a bit worried if he say no to more supps. Need to buy them asap.

Today, early morning I had very sharp pain on the right. It was there for few hours. I am onnmy fertile window. Apps shows different days for peak. Yesterday, today and tomorrow. I tested with cheap strips and added them to premom app. Today's morning test seems 80 high. Do you think that means my ovulation day is today? I am also tracking my body temp and it raised little more than yesterday.

Atomic,

I forgot to mention about probiotic. This is the one I was taking. I guess DH then need to buy a similar separate one suitable for men. I guess this is ok? Please let me know if I should change. Thank you

I can't know for sure what day your O day is. If your temp goes up for 3 days that means you ovulated, typically the day before the temp rise. But just one slight temp rise alone doesn't mean you ovulated necessarily. Sorry, I wish I could be more help but I just can't know from here without more info.

I don't want you to take that probiotic because it has cranberry and more B6 in it.

Just get one that is JUST probiotics without that other stuff.

Oh Alright. Thanks atomic. I think i must have ovulated on CD12/13?
I got the pain on the right side early morning on 2nd Nov (cd13) as per my notes. My test was peak (80 - in premom) on Nov 2nd 8am. (Cd 13) .




I couldn't take temp after that as i wasnt well. I ended up with UTI. Currently on antibiotics . I don't know what triggered it. I am just praying it doesn't happen on my attempt month.

According to this it looks like CD 12 to me as you have 3 days of high temps after the dip.

The O pain is not reliable. You can have O pain before, during, and after ovulation. in fact, many of us find we have worse O pains from the side that didn't ovulate, as the eggs that developed on that side but were not released are reabsorbed.

But, it's always possible that I am wrong and it was CD 13 instead. We just don't know for sure.
