Over 1 bottle of Pre Natal Vitamins Down

Last May I was taking these really expensive prescribed pre-natal vitamins that my first RE had me take. I took a trip to CO to see my best friend and her husband is a Dr. He told me there was no need for me to spend that much and to just get the jumbo bottle of pre natal vitamins from Rite Aid, in fact they had some left over from when my friend was KU so they gave those to me. I began to take the few that were left in the bottle and proceeded  to get my own bottle. I just realized that there are 225 pills in a bottle and I am almost done. Over 1 bottle of pre natal vitamins down and still not prego, sort of depressing. 

Sorry for being a downer just needed to get that out. Been a bit down lately.

Thanks y'all,

Megan

    It is super depressing. I am on like my 4th year of free prenatals. At least they are free, but taking one every day makes me sad.

    Hugs.

    I can't even count how many packs of folic acid I've taken, which I've read studies say increases the risk of colon cancer and should be avoided unless pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Good thing that already runs in my family. 

    It's seriously depressing.

    I know this is the next part that scares me. Between this and all the hormones I have taken for my 4 procedures are we all going to end up diseases. UGH, this whole process is for the BIRDS!
