prenatals? ADDED QUESTION
so im sure this has been asked soooooooo many times but im new to all of this and i need to get some good info from some of u girls. What brand of prenatal vitamins are you using? Are they over the counter or prescription?
ETA what do u think of the GNC w/o iron prenatals? bc I'm hearing that the iron is what makes most ppl sick to their stomaches?? what do u girls think?

Yep I am also on additional folic acid because of an inherited thrombophilia that I have that prevents my body from processing folic acid. Total I take 4,000 mcg

Re: prenatals? ADDED QUESTION
I took the GNC with Iron before my BFP and they never made me sick. I take my vitamins at night to reduce any nausea I might have....

Re: prenatals? ADDED QUESTION
I started taking CVS Prenatals and my OB/GYN will put me on prescription ones once I'm pregnant.
I started in April and we hope to start TTC'ing in July.
