Is folic acid enough?

Hello,

Currently ttc, taking folic acid but wondering if it is enough? What do people recommend? I have heard preconception tabs can mess with your cycle? Any advice would be great!

Vitamin d is also recommended

A folic acid and vitamin d combined vitamin is fine.

I would just recommend folic acid and vitamin D, I was taking Seven Seas trying for a baby last cycle and the cycle before. In my last cycle I didn't ovulate until CD18 and then af arrived 8 days later! I can't say for definite that the vitamins caused it but probably safer to avoid them.

Thank you for your replies! Will any vitamin D do ?

I took Feroglobin tablets the month I conceived DD2 after a year of trying. Iron, folic acid and vitamin B12. Recommended it to my friend who had also been trying for around a year and she conceived within a month. Could be coincidence but I always recommend it.
