I know folic acid doesn't help you to conceive but makes prevents any defects for the baby. My obgyn told me to take 400mg folic acid. I've been taking ONE A DAY brand (obviously for women). Is there a better brand that you would recommend and resulted in pregnancy or the one I'm taking is okay?

i am TTC and i have been taking Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast Feeding Gold. I have only been taking it for 2 months but i actually feel really good. i'm still not pregnant but my girlfriend started taking it and fell pregnant the same month now the baby is due in 3 days!! so thats a good sign
The vitamin i am talking about helps you and the baby.
- it provides iodine to promote baby’s healthy brain, eyesight & hearing development.
- Provides folic acid that may reduce the risk of brain and/or spinal cord birth defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly if taken daily for 1 month prior to conception and during pregnancy.
- Provides vitamin D3 to support calcium absorption to assist with baby’s healthy bone development.
- Provides omega-3 essential fatty acids to promote baby’s healthy brain & visual development.
-Provides overall multivitamin support with 17 nutrients including 10 vitamins, 6 minerals including iron and calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
i have attached the website so that you can read more about it. Good Luck!!!

I'm taking the same as you. My doctor and pharmacist, however, both recommended that I take a folic acid supplement as the recommended dosage for women trying to get pregnang is 800mg. There is no vitamin that helps increase pregnancy, but the folic acid is important for the viability of the conception. Once you get pregnant, your doctor will most likely switch you to another vitamin to provide nutrients for two! Good luck!

any prenatal vitamin that gives you the doctor recommended amount of folic acid is fine. It will not help you get pregnant but it will help prepare your body for a baby.

I took Materna, that is what my doctor recommended.
Oops, I just realized that you were taking hte vitamin while trying to conceive, I thought you were pregnant. I am sure it would still be good for you to take Materna though.
