Fertility vits

[Sunflower1]

Does anyone swear by fertility vitamins? Like, is there anyone who thinks they helped them to conceive? I've been TTC for absolutely ages and wondering whether it's worth trying them. I definitely don't want to take anything with maca in as I've heard bad things about it. Can anyone recommend a brand? Thanks.

This cycle I got my bfp and I just started taking 7 seas trying to conceive.
It’s probably a coincidence but maybe worth a shot for you to xxx

I put my husband on well man I’d been trying for over two and a half years. I got my bfp When he started taking them but I also had a laparoscopy.

What bad things have you heard about Maca sunflower?
I followed a board and heard nothing but good stuff about Maca and actually a lot of women got a bfp the first cycle using it. Xx

I take the seven seas trying to conceive as well as inofolic (recommended by my doctor for pcos) and omega 3 with added vit D.

I’m just about to add coq10 to the mix because of my 3 cps, there may be an issue with egg quality which is most likely from the pcos which hopefully the inofolic should sort but I thought I’d try this as well.

I’m always really reluctant to add new supplements as I know they can sometimes do more hard than good. That’s why I haven’t tried Maca as I haven’t found any research from a reliable source.

I’m reading ‘it starts with the egg’ the beginning is all about supplements and has different plans for ladies who are just starting ttc, been trying for a long time, suffering recurrent miscarriages, pcos, endometriosis and those preparing for ivf. It’s supported by a lot of research which I like.

I've heard a lot of women say it really messed up their cycles - I think it affects estrogen balance... It increases the body's production of estrogen which I don't need as I'm a little bit overweight already. It's probably fine if you are slim.

Oh yes, I put my husband on Well Man too!

Thanks! That book sounds interesting. Does Seven Seas not affect your cycle? I've heard women on here say it does for them. Good luck!

Thanks! Does it have maca in it though?

Oh wow this is the first i have heard of something bad being said about Maca. x

Seven seas doesn’t have maca in and it doesn’t seem to have affected my cycle but they were irregular before I went on it. I’ll take a pic of the vitamins and ingredients in it tonight if you like?

I got the book on Apple Books x

Sevens sea's messed up my cycles. Made my cycle's longer than they already was. How bizarre that supplements work so differently with everyone. x

 

[SugaryIris]

I’ve heard the same about pregnacare milti vit, it is strange how different people react with different vits!

I heard they make cycles longer in some women which is one of the reasons I took it - mine are short so wanted to improve xxx

I've read about it on here over the last few years and there's stuff on other fertility forums too. It probably only happens to some women. Probably depends on what your hormone balance is like to begin with.

That's interesting. Mine are a bit short too.

Hi i cant massively help, but when i spoke to a Doctor recently she advised the man going on Wellmans Conception and getting 100% Vitamin C outside of that.
For me she said a generalised pre natal vitamin would be good.
I personally looked into & added omega 3 for this cycle - its good for sperm count DH and for women ive read it can help with CM. Omega 3 is pretty raved about for during pregnancy as well so cant see it doing any general harm!
I know for IVF they have you on COQ10 (depending) but i take 500mg (helps eggs)

That's really helpful. I'll look into those! Thanks.
