Thank you! I've been taking folic acid for a while now and vitamin d. Was planning on getting pregnacare today for me and my partner, wasn't sure if I could take separate vitamins too along side those? Any clue?

Thanks! Xx

I'm not totally sure as I know there is a line of thought that says u can over do vitamins. I would check with your doctor/clinic to see what they would recommend.i know mine said D and extra folic acid were fine.

I tell u what I would take which I was taking just b4 transfer with clinics permission so it must be fine is echinacea! I've already had 2 delay treatment twice becos of catching people's rotten colds & there's a lot going round so keeping your immune system up is important if treatment starting soon?

I'm rubbish at the recommended foods but apparently beetroot, avocado and eggs are good so I try to combine all of those in a salad every lunch time xx

Oh wow! That's great. Thanks for your help. I'll give the clinic a call later and see what they recommend.

Thanks for your help!xx

I take pregnecare and vitamin D, and at fertility show Dr said omega 3 and vitamin course, but purer ones, not with sugar/rubbish capsule outside, natural ingredients.. Bit more expensive.. Hope this helps.. Best of luck 🍀. Xxx
