Vitamins

[Ajplus1]

Hi all,

Question for you all about vitamins.

My OH and I are on the sperm donor waitlist and at the moment it looks like we will reach the top of the list in October.

I wanted to get some feedback on whether or not I should start taking prenatal vitamins, especially anything that will help with fertilisation.

Any tips or comments are welcomed xx

You should definitely be taking folic acid. You can get a pre pregnancy supplement that includes folic acid and all the other vitamins you need like vitamin D etc xx

Hi Alplus1. Most ladies during pre-conception take a good quality multi-vitamin tablet. You need to make sure you're having 400mcgs of Folic Acid and 10mcgs of Vitamin D a day, so add to the contents of the "bottle" if necessary. Obviously, I wish you every success when your treatment starts. Diane
