Vitamin question
Not TTC yet, but my Doctor recommended taking vitamins just in general for myself.
I started taking Womens 1-A-Day vitamins, is that good?
What do you take?

Re: Vitamin question
I think most multis are fine (I take Flintstones  ) but you may need to add an extra folic acid.

Re: Vitamin question
I started taking prenatals almost 9 months before we started TTC. I wanted to build up on the folic acid (heard women of child bearing years should have extra), also I heard girls not really taking to theirs, so figured I should get a head start on making sure I was able to take them without them upsetting my stomach, etc. I just got the CVS brand.

That's what I am taking. My doctor said she would prescribe pre-natals but that it's pretty much the same thing. She also said that I could take straight folic acid vitamins if I wanted to.

Re: Vitamin question
As long as you are getting 800mg of Folic Acid a day. most regular women's vitamins only have half that amount. Just check the label.
I take Trader Joe's Pre Natals... they were cheaper than the prescription my doctors gave me and I can stock up on them.
