Does taking prenatals while you are TTC higher your chances of actually conceiving?

No. The main thing it does is it lowers your risk of a neural tube defect in the baby. That includes diseases like spina bifida.
It also might make up for deficiencies if you have a bad diet, so it overall might help you be healthier.
You should take them. If they are somehow difficult to tolerate for you, they also have them in chewable forms. I believe they are called NataChew and taste like those Flintstones vitamins you had a child. It's only worth spending the money on them if you can't tolerate the generics.
With regards to increasing your odds of getting pregnant, it's important to have a good overall strategy. The following article might help. Good luck!!

No they dont actually help in conceiving but bulids your body and makes ready for conceiving. It gives all essential vitamins necessary to help the baby to be born without any abnormalities.

No.
It is reccommended that you start taking them when you TTC because then you know that you have all the nutrients a growing fetus needs from the moment of conception.

pre-natals DO NOT help you get pregnant. They only get your body ready for pregnancy and get the baby the nutients it needs to stay healthy while in the womb.
good luck-
