Did you continue to take your prenatals after a miscarriage? I was told to stop them a week before my D&C, but I think that was just for the surgery. My doctor didn't say and of course I forgot to ask. I just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to have a healthy pregnancy next time.
Re: Prenatals
Same for me - no D&C, but I did continue taking prenatals after my MC and I had been doing so before conceiving.
I have heard of other posters here who were told to avoid folic acid (which is in prenatal vitamins) while taking misoprostol or methotrexate because folic acid can prevent those meds from being effective.
Not sure why they told you to stop taking them. That seems odd. Other than not taking it within so many hours before my d&c, I was told to continue taking them if I had any interest in TTC again.
There have been at least a few studies that show that taking a prenatal at least 6 months prior to conception is necessary for folic acid to be at desired levels in your body. If you don't start taking them until after your BFP, it's pretty much too late for the folic acid to do its job. BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY IT'S NOT STILL IMPORTANT TO TAKE THEM WHEN YOU GET YOUR BFP!
