Skipping the prenatals??

I've been really avid about taking my prenatals and B6, but this past week or so, I was away and didn't bother to take all the vitamins with me. Today I feel like I have much more CM than I have had the past two cycles. Do you think the vitamins have anything to do with it? How bad is it if I skip them altogether?

You probably need to look at your diet and see whether you think it's healthy enough without the pre-natal vits? Or keep taking them but get some Pre-Seed if you think your CM is lacking when you're taking vits. TBH I'd keep taking the vits as much better to ensure you have adequate supply of folic acid. Are you pg or TTC? Both times I've been pg was sooooooo ill that stopped taking pre-natal vits for first 4 months are they made me barf my lungs out. Both my DD's are fine and no adverse effects from me not taking pre-natal vits for entire pg!

Doh. Just looked at your log in name. Hi Pre-Preg (that was) ! Pre Seed worked for me when I got pg in Sept and didn't think I had a lot of CM. Just google and loads of sites will come up. Fingers crossed for you my love. Let's hope the name change has buckets of good luck for you. Give my love to all the MC Avengers. xx

Hey there GeorgieGirl
Yes, I am PrePG with a slightly more optimistic screen name (I hope!)
I do have what I think is a relatively healthy diet. I think it's probably just coincidence that I seem to have more CM this month. When I first came off the pill, it wasn't until the third month that I really had proper EWCM, no mid-cycle spotting, etc - ie, it seemed like that's when everything really fell into place. I'm now on my third cycle since the MC, so maybe that's it...my body just needs about three cycles to adjust? Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Might be worth it to invest in some pre-seed anyway. Thanks!
