Prenatal vitamins? Conceiving? Help!!
Answers: Vitamins won't effect your ABILITY to conceive come what may. All vitamins (esp. prenatals) do is to help give the right nutrients to the fetus and to prepare your body to sustain support a pregnancy once it occurs.
If you have consistently tried for 12 months or more (using fertility prediction, etc) in need success, then it may be time to bear a trip to the doctor for a full physical and maybe a referral to a fertility clinic..
Children's vitamins are just that... the proper level needed by a growing child. Taking two of them (to increase the amount of vitamins) won't work either.
Take a good talent pre-natal vitamin, if there is any chance of getting pregnant. You NEED Folic Acid for prevention of spinal birth defect like Spina Bifida. The time when you most need the Folic Acid, too, is only just before or just as you're finding out you're pregnant (0-4weeks development). Canadians very soon are recommended to supplement to 1.0 units. Americans are still recommended at 0.4 units.
Calcium is also another things undersupplied in most north american diets... supplement, but be careful what type of calcium you're taking. A mix of citrate, and others is best. Straight calcium carbonate is almost impossible to digest and involve, so you won't actually benefit as much as you would from maybe a citrate, or other, source of calcium. If you can, drink milk or get through proper dairy products. Check the label.
Beyond that, ask a pharmacist. They're there to lend a hand you make healthy choices, and when at hand is potentially a baby's health on the line, you owe it to that child to endow with them the best start with good nutrition.
Birth control pills are hormones NOT folic sour..
do you usually take daily vitamins? cuz if your trying to enjoy a baby, dont take prenatal vitamins until you know you are pregnant. my sister struggled beside trying to have a baby for YEARS. she did everything she could to draw from pregnant. until one day, she just get lucky. start buying ovulation tests and see when your most fertile. or go on google and type surrounded by "ovulation calculater" it will predict when your most fertile. Good luck. remember your still young. you have plenty of time you're WAY too young-looking to be worrying about not being competent to have kids. birth control pills are basically folic sour. you may want to have a basic gyno check up in recent times to see if everything is okay though
*edit* i'm sorry, i meant to say that prenatal pills are nought but folic acid. my apologies.
