Pre-Conception Vitamins ?

[PieMistress]

Hi Ladies,

I was just wondering how many of you are taking pre-conception vitamins? I've recently had a miscarriage and would like to make sure my body gets off to the best start possible when we start TTC again.

I know about folic acid and vitamin D but after a quick google have seen quite an array of pre-conception vitamins available ie/ Pregnacare and a premium brand by Zita West (Vitafem).

Do you think they are worth it? Have read good things about B6 vitamins helping with the reproductive system and figuring anything is worth a shot?

GP says I don't need anything apart from folic acid so part of me wonders if they can do more harm than good?

Any thoughts?
Thanks Pie xx

Related Q - are the Pregnacare pre-conception ones significantly different to the pregnancy ones? I can only ever find the pre-conception ones in small, very expensive packets whereas the pregnancy tablets come in 3 month batches and are often on offer.

I used pregnacare and it messed up my cycle. To the point I thought I was pregnant I was that late. Never again
