Did anyone ever take them? Do you think they helped you?

Any recommendations for specific brands/what to look for etc?

Re: Prenatal vitamins when TTC

Hi sara,
for both my 2nd and now 3rd i was TTC for long time that i eventually gave up any hope.
I have been taking multi vitamins, vitamin D, Diabex 2000mg (metformin) for long time. But what helped me was exercise and diet. Due to insulin issues, I did not lose much weight but I was on 1200 calories for months and lost only 2kg with regular exercise but it did help in falling pregnant.

both time exercise helped me alot.
regardless of whether you are fit or not, exercise helps.

goodluck

I did take pre natal vitamins. I think they help with prevention of issues such as Spina Bfida more than anything.

^ NatureMade Prenatals with Omega 3. My gyno recommended taking them, even when not pregnant or necessarily trying as they have a lot of key ingredients helpful to women's health.
