I am just looking for some advice,I am 28,lost over 12 stone on mounjaro it’s taken 2 years,the only downside has been low ferritin ,it’s still not in optimal range.
I finished mounjaro 6 months ago and would like to try for a baby ,because I became iron deficient due to food intake ,can anyone recommend any vitamins to help successfully conceive.
i found online from a company called Ovare fertility a strong vitamin tablet which includes

  • CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) HIGH PURITY— 450 mg
  • Vitamin D3 — 4000 IU (100 μg)
  • Methylfolate (L-5-MTHF) — 1003 μg (1
But there’s not many reviews ,so I’m unsure what to do . I read methyfolate is better than folic acid ,I’m worried I may over supplement etc and do more damage than good . I have not tried for a baby before ,but due to loosing so much weight and becoming deficient,my body has gone through a lot of stress . I had a recent full blood count ,all was fine but just low ferritin (50) ,that’s after a iron infusion months ago

any recommendations or advice
Thank you

Do not buy anything online- who knows what is in it.
Make an appointment with your practice nurse and spend the next six months making yourself as healthy as can be.

Good luck

Honestly I'd just take a decent prenatal (wild nutrition or proceive are popular choices) and then focus on making sure your diet is nutritious and iron rich - red meat and green veggies.

‘Ova her’ I believed helped me, I also took extra folic acid from the gp for the first 12 weeks. Good luck!

I took Pregnacare Before Conception. I remember it had Coq10, iron, folic acid etc. I would definitely try and get your ferritin levels up as I believe this can result in miscarriage. This is just from memory as I had 2 miscarriages but the baby I conceived after taking the vitamins worked out fine :)
