i had a friend of mine tell me that she started taking B12 supplements that she bought OTC. she said about 2 weeks into taking them, she wound up pregnant. has anyone heard of this and if so, is it safe to continue taking after conception.

I read that sometimes low B12 and/or B6 can be a reason for infertiltiy issues. If you are not sure, you can have your blood work checked. I take a prenatal vitamin all the time now.

I'm sure vitamins help people who don't actually have a medical reason for not being able to get pregnant, but I'm one of the people who's ONLY option was IVF---vitamins didn't get me anywhere.

I haven't heard of B12 helping, but I did read in a magazine article on infertility that fish oils help. They have to be oils from wild fish and filtered properly so they are free of any metals that are found in some wild fish.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
