What's the best TTC multivitamin?

Hi I'm rubbish at remembering to take vitamins but as TTC is so important to me and DH, I have been very good taking folic acid for nearly 4 months nearly every day:happydance: Having read what other people are taking I'm a bit confused on what else I should be taking, so is there a multivitamin that covers the important ones? One a day is about my limit.
Many thanks

my doctor just prescribed me a prenatal vitamin that also have folic acid in it and never gave me a folic acid only tablet. I really don't have much knowledge on vitamins and what not...i am just taking what the doctor prescribed!!

Here in the UK (in my short experience of fertility and doctors) is that they pretty much leave you to get on with things until you are pg then hand you over to the MW who sees you when you are 8 weeks or more! The doc said he could prescribe me folic acid but it wasn't worth it and didn't mention any other vits! to be honest you can get folic acid for a third of the price of a prescription so i suppose he was right. I expected a big check up and lots of help :wacko:

I went to Boots and just compared the different pre-natal vitamins. I chose the one that gave me 100% RDA of all of them rather than less. It was Boots own make 'Mum to be Plus'.

Any pregnancy multivitamin is good to take, the difference between pregnancy one and normal ones is the pregnancy ones dont have vitamin A in them.
Pregnacare ones are good, but i buy asdas own make so save pennies

Why no vit A?

Too much can cause birth defects

You learn something new every day eh? I never even noticed it was missing when I looked at the contents. I stopped taking my other Vit B supplement though as didn't want to od on vits!!! my poor body wouldn't have known what had hit it!!!!

TTC is a complicated and nerve racking business :)

I've been taking pregnacare.

You're not meant to take Vitamin A as a supliment but can have Beta Carotene which is a type of vitamin A and normally in pre natal vitamins.

I think Pregnancare is the best known one and now they've included omega 3 in it too but most shop own brand pre natal vitamins are just as good.

Thanks for advice ladies - i got Boots own 'Mum to be Plus' which have Omega 3 which I was worried about as i am a vegetarian and don't eat fish. Mind you I should have looked in the box as they are quite big :dohh:

I've been taking pregnacare.

I have been taking that too.

i take sainsburys own pregnancy care all in one pre natal i did take omega 3 capsuals but they gave me fishy burps and made me sick!

I guess a lot of supermarkets do good own brand ones. I tried to take omega 3 too but kept forgetting!!

I've done some research on Pre Natal vitamins, I've found a normal good quality womens vitamin has all the needed vitamins as pre natal ones, it even has a few extra. I take Swiss brand womens multi, aswell as my fish oil and EPO. the multi even has the same dose of Folic as my pre natals but at half the price

I take Superdrugs own brand 'Pregnancy Care' which is vitamins, minerals and folic acid. Checked with the doctors when I went originally to sy I was ttc and she gave it the go ahead.

I take Pregnacare, Mumomega and a B12 suppliment

plus vit c as I have a cold!

Once I get my :bfp: I'll change to Zita West's range for all 3 trimesters.

Right now I'm taking Materna Prenatal vitamins. My doctor told me that one of those has everything that you need, and that you shouldn't take anything else extra on top of that.
Hope that helps.
