Just curious what prenatals everyone is on. My doctor put me on Prenatal Plus Tab and the generic form Vol Plus Tab Trig is free at Meijer! But I'm unsure of the ingredients..if you have any insight I'd love to hear!
I'm still taking my One-A-Day. Since it has folic acid, my OB said to just continue to take those (since I have them) at this point. Once the bottle is out and/or I get KU I will switch to a pnv with DHA.
My doctor has me on a different prescription pill now, but I've taken Prenatal Plus and OTC Rainbow Light One in the past.
What do you mean about the ingredients? You can do a Google search for the pill to find out what's in it. You can also do a search to find the recommended value for each nutrient if you want.
I had a hard time finding the list of the ingredients but I just came across it. I am mainly concerned about the B vitamins. My prenatal has 10mg of B6 and 12mcg of B12. I am taking an additional B100-Complex to help with progesterone levels.
I take gummy PNV. They don't have iron, which is easier on my stomach. Once I get pregnant I will switch to a PNV with iron or add an iron supplement if needed.

I take the Target brand gummies. I don't even take the PNV version because the regular type has folic acid in it and costs like $5 less, and my husband takes them too
I take vitafol one also called "the little one". It has 1 mg of folic acid which the OTC pills do not. This one was a prescription version. You can find coupons online.
March 2013: First TTC trip to RE, On 1500 mg Metformin, April 2013: PCOS and Endometriosis, May 2013: DH Low volume; Femara 7.5 mg + IUI #1 = BFN, July 2013: Femara 7.5 mg + IUI #2 = BFN, August 2013: Femara 7.5 mg (X5) + Bravelle (X7) + Ovidrel + IUI #3 + Endometrin = BFP MC at 5w3d, October 2013: Follistim (X14) + Ovidrel + IUI #4 + Endometrin =BFP!!!

I also take Target brand and fish oil! Oh and when I first started on TB a few weeks ago, I signed up for a free month of Enfamil Expecta prenatals and 30 dha pills too. I'll be trying those when I'm out of these. I'll keep you all posted!
I take GNC prenatals with DHA. They contain all the recommended ingredients, as well as DHA. They do not contain any artificial colors or ingredients, which is a very important detail for me. The last thing I want to do is fill my potential LO with chemicals and artificial colors before they are born. $20 a month
TTC our first. Married to, and madly in love with, my beautiful wife. Living with our fur baby and enjoying 19 nieces and nephews.
DW and I have been tracking, preparing, getting medical testing since January 2013.
First Cycle: Unmedicated ICI w/ Donor Sperm 08/02/13: BFN
I take the Vitafusion prenatal gummies; they have all the things I was looking for (dha, folic acid, fish oil) & none of the things I'm trying to avoid (artificial colors, flavors, etc.)
Sure wish they were cheaper, though!

This. The gummies don't have iron, but I was already taking an iron supplement. I caught them on sale at Walgreens a while back!
