Pre-conception Vitamins

[amandap1]

Hi girls,

Does any of you know what supplements are worth taking pre-pregnancy or whether I am taking too many?

I am currently taking:-
Solgar Multivitamins & Minerals
Co-Enzyme Q10
Evening Primrose Oil
Essential Fish Oils

Hubby is taking all of the same except the Evening Primrose.

Hi hun,
It is worth taking a folate vitamin while trying to conceive. Is the Solgar Multivitamins & Minerals a pg vitamin? If not, check the vit. A levels in it, as it's advised not to have a large amount of vit A while pg (can cause birth defects). I'm not sure about the other ones HTH's!

I just take folic acid!
Doctor told me not to take anything else!

I take a complete prenatal vitamin system. It has 1000mg folic acid. I also take extra 100mg of B-6 as it lengthens the luteal phase...better to help with conception. Dr approved of course.
