Anyone used these and had any joy? I know they aren't supposed to make you conceive but so many good reviews of pregnancys happening speedy!

I did and conceived in second cycle of trying. Might be coincidence, might be the pills, who knows? They have lots of good stuff in them though, so no harm in trying!

Used them for almost two years before BFP.

They are just vitamins and imo would have no impact on conception.

They are very small and easy to swallow, cheaper than some and didn't make me nauseous like other brands so were great for me.

Aw lovely! Worth a shot then! That was my thinking.. Cant do any harm? Read so many reviews saying they had tried for years.. Then conceived after a month or two on these. I thought ..naaahhh..! But then I'm thinking.. They cant ALL be a coincidence? Popped the first pill and praying it makes me healthier if anything!? X

Unless they contain sperm and you insert them into your vagina then they won't hurt but it's definitely coincidence.

Obviously they wont make you become pregnant.. I'm not that stupid.
But some people have said they regulate their cycle. That can obviously help you read the signs and help you become familiar with your cycle..also having a store of folic acid and iron in your body has got to be healthy for a pregnancy.

Sometimes its nice to hear positive stories though when trying to conceive..rather than sarcastic comments.
Thanks though 😉

I used these and they extended my cycle by about 15 days which was very frustrating. A little Googling revealed that this isnt too uncommon. I'm now on Wilkinsons own version with no issue.

I was taking regular pharmacy brand folic acid for about a month, decided to use these instead as more benefits, only been taking for a week and official TTC cycle #1 ...so can't comment but I have also seen them are highly recommended in here xx

I used them for a month before trying, and was still taking them the following month when I fell pregnant with DD2. It had taken me 9 months to conceive DD1 previously. Also didn't make me nauseous like pregnacare had so that's a bonus. There's no way of knowing if they helped but definitely didn't hurt so worth a try.

I take them but have been trying for some time now so I haven't had the speedy effect. They are small and easy to take though, unlike the other massive ones you can get.

I got pregnant on the second cycle with these. I now take the Seven Seas pregnancy multivitamin as the Pregnecare ones make me sick! Good luck.

Sounds pretty good so far. Fingers crossed they don't screw my cycle up! X

I've just stared taking them and I'm wondering exactly the same thing. My best friend swore by these when conceiving her two children and has said that many of her friends have too.
Maybe a coincidence, maybe not. Worth a go though, isn't it?

Yeah totally ! It does say something on the packet about regulating your cycles or hormones or something I think? So for people who have that as an issue .. That could well be the key to them conceiving? X

I've been taking these since October. We planned to start trying this month but have been delayed for a month. So start trying next month now.

I read lots of reviews and they appealed the most. But I did read some bad reviews too so I wanted to try them ahead of time to see if they affected my cycle at all. Thankfully they haven't.

I remember my sister saying she came off of pregnacare because she felt unwell/constipated on them. These seem to suit me fine.

Well in answer to my own question, for the first time in years I was 2days late for my period . . Only thing i did diff was take these pills. I really thought I was pregnant and it was hard. So it may be coincidence but I'm swapping back to plain folic acid..x

Hey girls
I'm new to this group, and my concern is that should I start with seven seas trying for a baby supplement or not?
I hve read good reviews about it i.e girls got pregnant within no time after using this? Is this just a myth or either one of you have been through this?
I'm really confused.
If some one could help me out please!!
Lately I had been taken folic acid but no luck as yet.

They're just vitamins: I doubt there's any scientific basis to suggest they help you get pregnant.
