Anyone on prenatal vitamins while ttc
| Fri, 08-22-2003 - 12:35pm |
Hi ladies,
I'm new to this board and a little nervous. My DH and I have been ttc for a while now. And I thought I was pg last month, I took a HPT and one showed up - and the other +, so I was a little confused so I called my doctor to have HCG test and it came back - :(. I made an appointment with the doctor and she put me on prenatal vitamins to help me. However, I'm having the same symptoms as m/s, could I be pg?, but its kind of funny that 2 days after starting the vitamin, AF came to visit for 3 days which is uncommon. I goes what I'm trying to ask is if anyone has had the same symptoms?
Looking for some direction.

I just saw my OB/GYN yesterday & got the green light to TTC & he suggested that I start taking over-the-counter prenatal vitamins. He said if they're not prenatal, at least a multi-vitamin with folic acid in it since folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects (ex. spina bifida). I started taking prenatals this morning since I'll be 'o'ing around the 28th. Another thing I've heard is drinking a glass of OJ a day, that's got folic acid in it as well. Folic acid is VERY important during pregnancy. I figure it won't hurt to take it, so I'm adding it to my daily routine. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for responding, your story is very encouraging. Anyway, to answer your question as to whether I had heavy bleeding, the first 2 days were very very light and the 3rd day it was like I was having my period and then it stopped, so I just wrote it off as having AF visit me - it wasn't normal. And after that incident, I've been feeling very tired throughout the day. My doctor did tell me that if AF didn't come by Aug 20th, that I should get another test, so I've been thinking about. I'll keep you all posted.
Good Luck to you and DH on ttc #4
