in Infertility

What kind are you taking and do you ever get tired of taking them ?

I am taking Vitafol-OB + DHA and Dr wants me to increase my folic acid intake to 600 mcg per day.

    I take prescribed Prenate Elite.  I don't really get sick of it because I am use to taking multi vitamins prior to prenatal.

    I have been taking Vitafusion prenatal gummies and they're actually really yummy. I buy them at Target. I take this brand of calcium too! Way better than crazy horse pills!! We are just starting our DE IVF 1st cycle though so hopefully I won't have to get prescribed gross horse pills!!

    I take a chewable multi-vitamin not specific to prenatal because it appears to have everything I need in it, and I get enough folic acid from my diet in conjunction with the supplement.  I hope I'm not missing anything important, because the horse pills upset my stomach!

    I have been taking AmeriSciences PreNatal + Omega Max (DHA). My RE gave me a sample of PreNexa for this IVF cycle and I like them so much more (only 1 pill/day). As soon as I finish up all the bottles of AmeriSciences I am going to switch over to PreNexa.

    I get very tired of taking them! It was really hard to keep taking them after my miscarriage, while waiting to see a genetics counselor and after my failed cycle.

    I don't mind taking the vitamins.  Anything to get a healthy baby!

    I take Rx vitamins.  I know they have 1000 mcg of folic acid.  I also take two Folgard pills a day, extra calcium and fish oil/DHA.

    I'm currently taking the Target generics.  I have tried 3 other brands in the past & these are the only ones that haven't made me sick.  I'm not really tired of taking them, they just replaced my regular multi-vitamin.  I also take extra Folic Acid.
