Those look great to me! I do generally recommend a DHA or Omega 3 supplement but if you're eating fish 2x a week and a fair amount of red meat if you don't want to take it you can get by without it, as long as you're not eating a lot of vegetable oil.
I would add in probiotics for your husband and 500 mg arginine, 1000 mg carnitine if he will take it. He can also take the Omega 3 supplements if you get them.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Thank you so much Atomic!
Do I add 500 mg arginine, 1000 mg carnitine for me too? Or just for my husband?

Ok, thank you!
Another question please if you don't mind, the only Omega 3 I found here where I live is a vegetarian brand which I would like to run through you to make sure it is safe for me to take while ttc a boy.
It says:
About the product:
Heart Omega 3 Vegan contains natural omega-3 fatty acids from algae, including EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal functioning of the heart, DHA also contributes to maintaining normal brain function and vision. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of at least 250 mg of EPA and DHA. Vegan does not contain iodine and can also be taken by breastfeeding and for pregnant women.
Table of Contents:
Algae oil (Schizochytrium sp.), Modified corn starch,
glycerol, sunflower oil, gelling agent (carrageenan),
extract rich in vitamin E, ascorbyl palmitate, rosemary extract,
sodium carbonate.
Content per 1 capsule
Algae oil: 500mg
Of which
Omega-3: 250mg
Of which:
EPA: 83.3mg
DHA: 166.6mg
Recommended Dosage:
1-2 capsules daily in connection with a meal, swallowed whole with liquid

Hello Atomic
I know it has been a long time, but here I am again ready to pick up where we left I have couple questions if you would kindly help me with them...
1. What is the dosage that my husband and I should be taking daily of Omega 3? The one we use contains 1000 mg in one capsule, of which omega 3 640 mg, EPA 320 mg, DHA 230 mg . Do we take one or two per day? And should it be every other day or every day?
P.S. he wouldn't take the probiotics or arginine or carnitine
2. Does my husband need to take Vitamin D? If yes, what is the dosage for him? What he is taking now all in all is
Magnesium 400 mg
Calcium 200 mg
Multivitamin for men
Omega 3 1000 mg
What I am taking is
Prenatal vitamin
Folic acid 2000 (prenatal included)
vitamin D 1000
Omega 3 1000 mg
Thank you so much for all the help and support

I prefer you stick to 500 mg. So if you have one that is 1000 you can take that every other day.
Is there vitamin D in his multi?
You can take probiotics too if you're willing. just not arginine and carnitine for ladies.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

1. Yes, his multivitamin has 10 µg of Vitamin D. Is that enough for him?
2. The probiotics for me, also every other day like the Omega 3, or daily?
3. He will take probiotics too, so does he take that daily or every other day?

Hello, Atomic hopefully you will see this! It has definitely been a while. I am not TTC, my cycles have been MIA for over a year, I'm quite certain. I have not been charting but haven't had it....
Not sure where to ask not TTC
