Hi all,

This is my first time on any pregnancy forum. My partner and I have only just started TTC for the first time. I came off the pill 2 months ago and we have only been actively trying for the last month and now my period is 4 days late and my breasts are feeling tender (though I'm not sure if that is my imagination because I want them to be) I haven't taken a test yet but have given up alcohol and all the forbidden foods. My best friend is already suspicious about the no drinking this past few weeks. We wanted to wait as long as we can before telling people and at least until we know for sure ourselves. I also wanted to wait to take a test for as long as possible to give a better chance of it being acurate.

So I make this announcement to you, my new forum friends, as I need to tell someone other than my partner... I ... think I am / could very well be / fingers crossed / hopefully am ... pregnant!!

Also please bear with me as I have no idea what most of the acronyms mean yet.

My first question (of many, im sure) is I have been taking folic acid supplements but also from time to time take vivioptol multivitamins. Does anybody know if it is safe to take these together during pregnancy?

Hi there and welcome, I am not too sure if the multi vits you are taking with the Folic Acid are ok or not, I am on the Sanatogen Mother To Be which has vit's......

Sorry I couldn't help but good luck in getting a BFP x

Hey Zooma welcome!

Fingers crossed for the result you are looking for. We have a forum here devoted to people just like you who are waiting for their result, pop in and say Hi!

I am not sure on the vivioptol - have you read the leaflet that comes with it? My advice would be if you are unsure about any tablets DO NOT take them - according to the doctors the only thing you NEED to take in the first 12 weeks is folic acid - however there are vitamins specifically for women who are pregnant or trying to concieve avaliable in chemists and safe to take.

Good luck! x

Thank you both,

I took the test yesterday and, as I suspected, it was positive!! So excited!

I have stopped taking the multivitamins. I dont have the leaflet anymore as I have had them so long. I was just taking them on and off for the last few years whenever I was feeling run down. My mother swears by them and sends them to me when I'm unwell. So I'm just taking the folic acid at the moment. I have yet to see my GP but I have recently moved so I will need to register at a local surgery before I can make an appointment.

Thanks for the advise ladies
