Vitamin D deficient

msmeg26

Anyone else vitamin d deficient? When was it discovered? What were you told to do? My midwife called me this morning since my lab work came back. Level was at 15.8 and should be way above 30. Need to take 4000 iu of d3 a day and will test again at 28 weeks.

I was found to be Vit D deficient before TTC. It's no big deal, many people are. I just take the supplement and it hasn't popped in bloodwork since.

I was Vit D deficient in my 2nd pregnancy. My care provider told me what dosage they wanted me to take and we rechecked my level later in the pregnancy. It's a really easy thing to treat.

Mine was discovered several years ago when I was having health issues.  My level was about a 6.  I was put on 50,000 IU three times a week.  When my levels got better I moved to 50,000 IU once a week.  Then I moved to OTC supplements.  I take 2000 IU a day now.
