Hi,
Were any particular vitamins suggested to you during IVF? Just trying to think ahead.
Thanks!
Multivitamin with folic acid (800-1000 mcg). Prevents some birth defects and may prevent preterm labor.
Calcium supplement (Tums is an easy one - 1000 mg). Don't take at the same time as other meds, as it affects absorption. Critical for bone growth.
Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA 300 mg and EPA 222-500 mg). Helps with brain development and possibly preventing preterm delivery.
They also said to avoid taking more than 4000 IU of Vitamin A daily.
