Blackmores Conceive Well & Blackmores Pregnancy and Breastfeeding....

[Vixstar]

Okaaaay,

I have always taken the Pregnancy and Breastfeeding tablets for my last two babies, (mind you last time I only started taking it less then a month before conceiving....Freak attack! lol)

When I first began ttc back in 2005 I was of the understanding to start taking the Pregnancy & Bf tablets one month before ttc.....is that still true? I thought the same for DS#2 and had a heart failure when I found out I was pregnant and had only been taking them for a few weeks...just had "ONE MONTH" stuck in my head from DS#1. (actually if the truth be known, I started taking them in October 2004 so that I was REALLY ready! and just told DH I HAD to start taking them 3 months prior....how paranoid was i!?!)

At the mo we are not actively trying nor are we preventing anything from happening so I have started taking the above tablets again....only began again on the weekend!

I have noticed in mags and on some websites about the Blackmores Conceive Well.......I am wondering if this is really necessary? What's is the diff between the two formulas?

As I mentioned at the start, do I still have to take the tablets (whichever) one month prior to ttc......

Thanks gals!

I can relate to your question.

I did a little research into the difference between the two, as I had been taking the B/M TTC tablets that come in a monthy pack for about $40, and after TTC for a few years, it became a little pricey.

So I have now swiched to the Blackmore's Preg & Bfeeding tablets, as you get a BIG Tub that lasts 3 months for $40.00

It's the folate that is the differnce in the two, so I suppliment the folate, with 5mg of Folate from Priceline $8.95, so I am getting adequate Folate intake. I also take royal jelly, CQ10, B6and Fish Oil

I checked with the pharmicist and my fertilty specialist and they were both happy .. HTH

Thanks for that!

Yes, I know about the trimester tub you can get and sometimes if you keep your eyes peeled, you can get it for as low as $27.00! I bought two once.

I was taking fish oil (for skin condition) and was not sure if I could keep taking it so I stopped!

I was also taking evening primrose for pmt and stopped that also.
