Prenatals

polyhymnia23

Hey all, 

I'm currently taking prenatal vitamins and have been for about 2 months.  Just this month I started to get (sorry if TMI!!) incredibly sore breasts. I track my cycle, which isn't regular, on my smartphone and according to it I should have ovulated yesterday and all that good stuff. Has anyone experienced this symptom after taking prenatals?

If not, is this a normal feeling during ovulation? It has never happened before to me, hence why I am confused.

Thanks!

There's not a huge difference between prenatals and regular multivitamins; they just have a higher dose of certain vitamins/minerals, notably folic acid.  I've heard of people getting constipated from the high iron, but other than that I've never heard of (or experienced) any side effects.

I have heard of women getting sore breasts around the time of ovulation, though it's not something I ever had.  I'd chalk it up to that.  I found that I noticed lots of symptoms I thought I'd never had before once I was tracking my cycles carefully.

I agree with ball.and.chain. Its also worth tracking those symptoms and the time of your cycle that they occur now that you're more aware so that you'll know what's normal for you.

That's what I figured! Thanks, ladies!!
