Vitamins/supplement balance 2ww and TTC. SO CONFUSING!

How do you manage preparing for an IVF cycle with suplements if you are also trying naturally? I am in a 2ww and might be pregnant if you believe in miracles.

I have been taking the list below before, but learnt this is too much and can be detrimental in a two week wait so swapped for a pregnancy supplement while there is a possibility I will be pregnant....

But obviously thats not optimal for preparing eggs. So confusing. Thanks

Alpha lipoic acid - 500 mg

Vit D - 4,000 IU

COQ10 - Ubiquinone, 300mg twice a day

(folic actin) methylfolate 400 mcg twice a day

vitamin c 1000 mg (with 15 mg zinc and iron and 1mg copper)

vitamin b complex (not sure)

vitamin e - 200iu

Nac - 600

you could swap for a while to pregnacare conception as this is safe to take while pregnant and trying to conceive and keep taking the NAC that’s safe anyway then once you know more you can switch to a pregnancy supplement I was unsure what to do during my TWW so did this as I didn’t want to suddenly stop all my vitamins as I thought this can’t be good for supporting any possible pregnancy either

Not what you're looking for?
