Hello!

I've been taking the pregnacare supplements for a while, but this is the first cycle ive taken them everyday. Af is nearly two weeks late but I'm defo not pg. I've been dizzy and nauseous and peeing loads. I've read elsewhere that this can be from the vitamins, but wondered if anyone else had experienced this?

Really? But I have to pay £7 per prescription as I am not exempt from prescription charges. Is it free even if you are not pregnant, just preparing to conceive? I'd rather have it free.

Monetary hijack - so if the cbfm keeps on registering high if it misses ov, is it actually measuring anything?!

I don't think so lexib Sad

I think folic acid works out cheaper over the counter unless you are on free/prepaid prescriptions Confused

O I forgot we have free prescriptions over here in NI - sorry!

ImpatientOne · 12/02/2013 20:41

Haven't read whole thread but YES multi vits make me feel shite. The iron in them gives me terrible nausea, especially on an empty stomach. They make my wee a horrible colour, give me rash and heartburn and the runs. I can't take them. I think it is rare to be bothered by them but I have to go on diet. Shock horror, folic acid makes me feel sick too so I am eating the best diet I can and will take folic acid from the day I get a pos pee stick. Two years folic acid seems a bit irrelevant really.

Lol I could set up a secret folic acid supply service

Morning all,
I'm new to all this pregnancy/baby stuff...

Took mirena coil out this week and started taking the pregnancy vits (tesco own brand was reasonably priced). Been feeling sick last 2 days and had churning tummy and headaches.
Wondered if it was mirena coming out but had no bleeding or cramps just upper stomach pains with nausea. Thinking now it must be the vits! seems silly that something you take to make you healthier makes you sick Sad

:( I just got my email from Boots to say I can pick up my order in store - including a bottle of primrose oil capsules, some B6 and two boxes of Seven Seas Trying for a Baby! I hope I am spared by the constipation fairy - I just went off Cerazette, still waiting for my first cycle to appear.

LadyMedea · 28/03/2013 07:10

Constipation is likely to be from the rn in the vits as it is notorious for that. But.... You definitely need Ron to ake all that new blood hen you are pregnant!

LadyMedea · 28/03/2013 07:10

Sorry iron ... Damn ipad

Yeah I’m on seven seas and my iron was high when I did a home iron test. They load you up with iron, it seems.

Can’t take well woman branded vits because they make me throw up (likely the zinc, but no problem with 7S).

We are thinking about trying for a baby soon and I’ve started taking Pregnacare conception tablets and take them at night with dinner but then the next day I have horrendous nausea! Has anyone else had this? I suffer with health anxiety but hoping it’s tablet related.
