Avatar f tn The best time to concieve is when ur ovulating...as for prenatals to help u get pregnant, never heard of this b4...prenatals are good to take while trying to concieve so u have all those extra nutrients in ur system, but not sure how they will help u get pregnant hun. Best wishes..
1346723 tn?1300718741 After the fourth week of embryonic development (which is the sixth week from the last period), when the spinal column closes, there is no particular need for extra vitamins. It is reasonable at that point to stop taking vitamins until the nausea has passed. If you really want to take some sort of vitamin, a children's chewable kind sometimes goes down easier. The downside to vitamin supplementation It's unhealthy to take more than one multivitamin a day.
Avatar f tn Yesterday me and my husband did unprotected coitus. Is it possible that i can get pregnant this time? how should i know when is the best time to get pregnant? Kindly help. Thank you.
Business woman2 No vitamins help you get pregnant. There are vitamins to take that some believe are important while a baby is developing called prenatal vitamins. folic acid is the key ingredient there. But until you are pregnant, you can take just a good multi vitamin or a prenatal if you feel so inclined. However, these do not enhance fertility. Wishing you luck.
Avatar f tn I had RX prenatals when I had my IUD removed but they were almost $60 a month!! My OB told me my Target Up & Up brand were just as good, haha.

Good vitamins and minerals intake is critical when talking about energy and especially the vitamins B. The B vitamins act as coenzymes, compounds that unite with a protein component called an apoenzyme to form an active enzyme. The enzyme then acts as a catalyst in the chemical reactions that transfer energy from the basic food elements to the body.

Avatar f tn The body performs different functions at different times of the day. Many people suggest adding food supplements at varied times of the day to accommodate for the digestion and assimilation of these nutrients. At night, many suggest taking calcium. This is because calcium is utilized at night, and also because calcium can help you get to sleep when taken at bed time. Remember the adage of a glass of milk before bed? Calcium absorption is the reason this makes sense.
Avatar m tn will probably prescribe differently then he/she did when not pregnant. I also always double checked with my pharmacist as to what was safe before taking anything...including over the counter medications. Your Dr. truly is the best person to help you make this decision. I work closely with the homeless population and worked almost until the end of my pregnancy, but I don't have your history either. I was careful to ensure I got my flu shots, etc.
Avatar n tn I was 5 weeks 5 days when I found out and I went at 6 weeks to confirm and get a doctor. Best to do the same if you have insurance or a way to pay for it and start taking prenatal vitamins. If you have a few drinks stop drinking. I'm now 22 weeks 4 days with a boy.
Avatar f tn I got on bc pills to help regulate my cycles again. And when should i start taking prenatal vitamins? Someone please give good understandable advice.

Dr gave me calcium 2 a day, ferrous sulfate for iron deficiency 3 a day,laxative pill, folic acid 3 a day, fish oil pills 3 a day... isnt too much iron bad for you? And i thought this was soo much. Iam 8 wks pregnant not knowing what to expect (my first child) iam 31yrs old. Omg my breasts are so tender and i have implants too. They feel so hard. Does anyone have this problem?
581359 tn?1454006442 Hello everyone, I am due April 9th.

So we are going in on Monday for our next one, I will be 6weeks 3days so we should see something. Anyway my question is what Prenatal Vitamins are everyone taking?
Avatar f tn I never had a miscarriage but when I first found out I was pregnant this time, oh my gosh everytime I went to the bathroom or had a cramp I was sooo scared. If anyway possible just relax and don't worry to hard.
871965 tn?1241833146 Hi I was wondering what the latest info is on what prenatal vitamins or best, or what vitamins are most important to take pre-conception and during pregnancy. For now my question relates to pre-natal health. I am taking a pre-natal vitamin and then some calcium magnesium with Vitamin D...any other suggestions. Of course I want as healthy a pregnancy as possible. Any advice is appreciated.
Avatar f tn You definitely need Iron and Calcium, even more so when you're pregnant. (and in higher amounts) Many women tend to ignore both and become deficient, and anemia is no fun especially when you're pregnant. You can keep taking them but you'll also have to supplement with an Iron and Calcium pill OR you can look for a different prenatal that has everything you need. Calcium you should be getting around 1,000 milligrams a day and you need 28-30mg of Iron.
