How long before TTC did you start taking prenatal vitamins? I have read anywhere from 3 mo to a year before......[Poll]

    I started taking them 9 months before TTC. It wasn't really planned that way. It's just how things worked out.

    I picked 6 months prior, but wanted to add that I started them when I went off BC & we then waited 6 months before 'actively' trying.

    just started taking them this month.  after 7 mo. TTC.

    my dr. didn't recommend taking them actually.  but SHE DID recommend taking 800mcg of folic acid.  and i've been taking that for a year!

    My dr. told me to take a multivitamin with 400 mg of folic acid way before I was even trying.  She said that was enough until I get pregnant.  I've been taking that for a year and a half.  I'm getting the PNVs tomorrow (keep forgetting to go) to up it now that we're TTC.

    DH and I knew we were going to start trying, so I started taking them about 2 months before....but i picked 3 months because 2 wasn't an option

    It was good because the first ones were awful on my stomach

    I started taking them in June 2008 which was three months before we started TTC. I just realized that I've been taking them for almost a year.

    I started taking them around the same time as we started TTC.

    i started taking them when i started TTC, why isn't that one of the options, lol??

    i've been taking them for the last 9 cycles and will continue through the rest of my pregnancy and probably after since it's a good habit to keep up with!

    I didn't pick a response, but I started 9 months prior. I figured why not get into the habit of taking them now, and I wasn't taking a multivitamin to begin with. It can't hurt, that is for sure!
