Vitamins and dietary supplements all advice welcome

Hi all,

Just looking for a bit of advice and wondering if anyone took any specific vitamins or dietary supplements which they believe helped get them to their BFP?

We have been trying on and off for around 18 months now. After a few months off we have just returned back with a BFN on our first cycle :(.

I've always taken folic acid when we have been actively trying to conceive but in addition today I have started to take vitamin B and Vitex Fruit suppliment.

Has anyone had any experience taking these and any other recommendations so we may finally see a BFP?

Thank you and Baby Dust to all 💜 xx

Sorry to hear that it's not been an easy journey for you OP.

I am currently in the third trimester of my fourth pregnancy after three previous losses. Before conceiving this time around I had started to take CoQ10. It's an antioxidant that is meant to help improve egg quality. I'll never know if this helped me conceive but there doesn't appear to be any downsides to taking it so worth a try.

Best of luck and sending baby dust to you xx

I'm so sorry you have had to experience so many losses to get your BFP, but absolutely amazing that you are in your third trimester!! And 4, wow! Congratulations!!

Thank you so much, I will definitely add this to the list for research.

Wishing you all the very best wishes for the rest of your pregnancy 💜 x x x

I also started taking Coq10 and there was a recommended version in the book it all starts with the eqq which is that one I take. I didnt take this with my son - but started about 3 months ago.

I started B12 this month and now ive had anovulatory month - so am going to stop - im on CD32 and only have two days of vitamins left.

I take pregnasense multivitamin - brought off amazon which ive been taking since before conceiving DS1 in 2020

I also take a strong vitamin D.

Desperate attempt to get all the goodness in me!
