Best vitamins to aid conception

7 replies

Hello,

Unsure where is best to post this.

I'm looking for the best vitamins I should be taking to aid conception.
Unsuccessfully trying to conceive for a while, I only have one working fallopian tube. I also get spotting 5-7 days before my period starts.

Can somebody recommend what vitamins could help me please? I am very unaware regarding vitamins.

I'm considering (from various suggestions and things I've read) coQ10, B100, B6 and D.

Thank you!

I thought the book It Starts With the Egg was really good. Would definitely say ubiquinol (more absorbable version of CoQ10), and a decent pre-conception vitamin with methyl folate such as Zita West or Proceive. Last time I added some of the extra antioxidants in the book above. This time I am just taking Proceive, DHA, ubiquinol and vitamin D

@bunnyx I took COQ10, dha, vitamin d and folic acid when ttc, I found that pregnancy vitamins with everything in seemed to mess up my cycle!

Thank you!

I'm concerned about them messing with my cycle too - nothings happening as it is so I worry that my inexperience of vitamins could screw things up further! I had been looking at conceive plus fertility support but I'm so worried of self prescribing! 😂

I used seven seas with my second and pregnacare conception with my third. Also used preseed with 2&3 and got pregnant first time using it both times

I took Vitamin B12, D and folic acid. We got pregnant but unfortunately it was ectopic.

I'm on the same vitamins now that we are trying again so will let you know how I get on!

@Sealover123

I'm so sorry to hear that 😞♥️

I think I'm leaning towards those three or conceive plus.

Fingers crossed for you xx

@bunnyx thanks dear! I only have 1 fallopian tube now so we're kinda in the same boat! Good luck and keep us updated xx
