Active Iron Pregnancy Plus - as pre-conception vitamins

[meepthebeep]

Hi everyone - does anyone have any experience of taking Active Iron Pregnancy Plus?

I took Pregnacare pre-conception vitamins before TTC our first pregnancy, but unfortunately these massively impacted my cycle and delayed my period, meaning my previously regular cycles were way out from what they had been. I stopped taking the Pregnacare and waited for my period, then conceived first cycle after stopping. This pregnancy has sadly ended in a MMC.

I want to start TTC again when we get the all-clear and set us up for success as much as I can. The Active Iron Pregnancy Plus looks good in terms of having the full range of necessary stuff, plus a more easily absorbed variant of folic acid. I’m really wary though of anything that might mess with my cycles while they re-establish following the MMC.

Can anyone offer any experience or advice?

Thank you 🙏🏼

Hi,

this is an older post but I thought I’d reply in the hope you’ll see it ☺️

I used pregnacare pre conception on and off for a
Few months and had my BFP in December 2023. Unfortunately, I suffered a MMC in January.

I then started taking Active Iron because of the additional iron and the methylfolate, which is absorbed easier than folic acid.

Methylfolate is the biologically active form of folate, meaning it doesn't need to be converted into another form for the body to absorb it (like folic acid does). According to the NIH, methylfolate may be more absorbable for more people

And I conceived exactly 4 months later. Not sure if this was just a coincidence.

Did you make the swap? How did you get on?
