I was just wondering what kind of prenatal vitamins and/or other vitamins all of you are taking. I'm taking Bellybar prenatal vitamins right now but I'm not really thrilled with them and I'm thinking about switching brands after I'm done with this bottle. Also, does it matter if I take other vitamins? I realized I hadn't asked the doctor about them but I used to take lysine and lutein. I keep forgetting to call and ask if it's okay to still take those.

    I was prescribed Pregvit5 2+ years ago when I told my gyn I was ttc. They are expensive (130$ for 3 month supply) but luckily I have 100% med coverage so I havent had to pay for them. But whenever I go pick up my rx the pharm assistant who recognizes me gives me a sideways glance. 

    I also take omega3 (DHA) and vitD.

    I take the target brand gummy which I love. But i did just ask my RE about Neeto given my MTHFR business. Heard it is very helpful and am hoping she gives it to me because I would feel MUCH better about moving forward knowing I covered that base. When I spoke to my nurse about it she said it didnt matter what I took cause they are all pretty much the same. GL

    I just asked my RE for this pnv. How do you like it? Are you taking the baby aspiring on dr's orders or on your own? I read that I shouldnt self medicate but also read that i should be on high doses of folic acid and a baby aspirin due to the MTHFR.

    Thanks, everyone! I took the Vitafusion before and loved them but DH teased me about taking a gummy vitamin.
