TTC vitamins/supplements

[Indadhanu]

I've heard its good practice to take a pregnancy vitamin/supplement up to two months before TTC. Well, hopefully (we find out this Friday) we will begin IUI next cycle

So... something I was wondering is what supplement have/do any of you take? I would like to her from you, rather than my dr, because I'm sure they just push products that they get perks from IYKWIM.

So... I have heard of Elevit and Blackmores, but I'm just wondering if anyone has used either one (or a different one) and had bad side-effects or felt better having used them.

I used Blackmores iron and folate pills. I took them while TTC (which ended up being for 4 months) and for the first 3 months of pregnancy. I didn't know about Elevit then.

I'll be taking the same pills this time round, and then when they are done and I am pregnant, I will start on Elevit.

I'm taking a good multivitamin that my naturopath prescribed,
(and will go on blackmores pregnancy and breastfeeding once I'm pregnant),
folic acid - megafol 5 from the chemist,
and iron because I dont eat alot of meat (I got them from my naturopath because apparently the one at the chemist can sometime make you constipated)

All the best
