Trouble TTC

Vitamin question

I've been taking a prenatal vitamin and vitamin C regularly, but I wanted to see if anyone takes a separate one of folic acid, zinc and omega? Or others? I have read so many different articles. Also, I have my husband taking a multivitamin for zinc, does anyone have their partner taking more?

I know everyone isn't an expert but I just wanted to see what others are doing. My doctor said the prenatal would be fine. 
Thanks!

Re: Vitamin question

  • I just take the gnc prenatal vitamin and DH takes a regular multi. Would love to  learn more about supplements that would help us in our ttc journey.

  • Multi + fish oil. I'll have to look into CoQ10.

  • I take an additional prescribed vitamin of folic acid and other b-vitamins but it's because I have MTHFR, I don't think it would hurt to take additional folic acid, but ask your Dr. to be on the safe side.
