PNV and DHA

Mrs_SpringbrideMrs_Springbride
in 1st Trimester

My RE has put me on a chewable PNV, but the separate DHA pill is huge and i am seriously unable to swallow it.  I cant swallow any pills, really.  Asprin makes me gag! Is anyone on, or can recommend a PNV that has DHA that is chewable? I am going back the RE tomorrow for my 2nd beta, but wanted to see if anyone had any recs first.

Thanks!

    Just look for fish oil pills OTC - a lot of them have an actual size pic on the side of the bottle.  Or ask a pharmacist which might be smaller/chewable (as far as I know, none are chewable... they're gross if you accidentally bite down on them... ::vom::)

    I take Prenate DHA (Rx). It's not chewable but it doesn't use the fish oil DHA, so it doesn't have a gross aftertaste. I will warn you it's on the pricier end ($60/mo without insurance).

    The main reason not to take a fish-oil based DHA pill is because there could be high levels of mercury in there.  Find one that is algae-based.  GL
