Conception vitamins advice

[germanshepforever]

Hey, I am ttc #2 I am 15 months pp and breastfeeding however my periods came back at 12 months pp. my cycles are quite long and all over the place atm I have had 2 periods and 2 positive ovulation peaks. Anyway I was looking at taking some conception vitamins however on the Pregnacare ones it says on the side of the box some women have reported a delay in their cycle after using them, this put me off so am wondering if anyone has any advice on good vitamins to help with conception ☺️ thankyou in advance.

Hi, also ttc#2 while breastfeeding 👋 I took pregnacare last time and didn't see any difference (had a textbook cycle). This time I've done a bit more research - taking a breastfeeding multivitamin from Boots and then adding iron (found out I'm deficient), Coq10, Choline, Vit D & Magnesium.

@hopeful4ushey! Thanks for the reply, I had got some blood tests booked so if I’m deficient in anything I can supplement I will have a look at the others I’ve not heard of coq10 or choline before so thanks for that info 😅

Hopefully you're not but I found I was significantly depleted despite healthy diet. Assuming it's from breastfeeding DD who is very much non stop!!

Choline is supposed to help egg quality and cycle regularity as well as brain development in pregnancy. It's in most prenatals but in tiny quantities which don't make a difference.

Coq10 is one I found through MN posts where fertility specialists had advised it.

I took a vitamin called wassen magnesium ok. I have pcos and struggled to fall pregnant. The months I took this, I fell pregnant straight away. They help regulate cycles. Good luck
