[Hopedream]

Starting my 2nd round of ivf, my 1st round implanted but my hcg wasnt stong enough so I miscarried at 5 weeks. My last round I was taking before you conceive pregnacare..... someone recommended me taking the original pregnacare This time around.... can anyone recommend what ones best? Or shall I just take folic acid and vitamin D on there own without pregnacare????

Hi I was taking the pregnacare conception from 3 months before we started our 1st cycle right up to getting our BFP then I switched to the original pregnacare which is what the clinic recommended I do xxx

Hi Hope dream. My feelings are the original ones. You should make sure that the following are included, or make up the difference if not high enough.

•10 micrograms of vitamin D each day throughout your pregnancy - you should also carry on taking this after your baby is born if you breastfeed

•400 micrograms of folic acid each day – you should take this from before you are pregnant until you are 12 weeks pregnant

Do not take vitamin A supplements, or any supplements containing vitamin A (retinol), as too much could harm your baby.

Hope this helps and good luck! Diane
