how long before conceiving did you take vitamins?

Just want to know - to either help or increase fertility, did anyone one of you ladies take a combo of folic acid & multivitamin for a year or two before decided to get pregnant? And did it help for a quick conception?

Did you take it every day, every other day? I've been reading a lot about folic acid that it "helps stregnthen the inner part of the egg." I just want to hear if anyone has taken it for a year or two prior to conception, and if you then conceived fairly quickly after 35.

This would be a good question for 'Pregnant after 35' board.  Not all of us have been able to conceive yet.  I've been taking a prenatal multi vitamin everyday for a few years which has folic acid.  It's a good supplement to prepare your body but it definitely doesn't guarantee that you will get pregnant.

I started taking prenatal 3 months before ttc, but that was 2 years ago, so i can't answer your question, as not many on this board could....however your eggs begin to develop 3 months before ovulation, so the eggs you will O in March are developing now...so you should start vitamins before ttc.

I've been taking mine since we've decided we wanted to ttc...
