I'm Currently Feeling:  | TTC Vits & Supps
Just curious to know what others take and why.
I want to boost my chances as much as poss. I currently take Pregnacare, but what can/should i & DH take, to boost our odds?
If anyone can also tell me reasons for taking each one that'd be fabby!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Hiya,
This month I started taking Sanatogen His and Hers Pro-Natel supplements.
His - Contains Zinc, to help with the swimmers
Hers - Contains Folic Acid
I have also started taking Evening Primrose Oil from Day 1 until Ovulation as it helps with hormonal balance - I also read somewhere that it can help with your CM more watery to help the swimmers along, Could be wrong but im tryin anything LOL!

I'm Currently Feeling: | I take Sanatogen pre natal and have just started with evening primrose oil for more ewcm, none yet but guess it's still way too early.
DH doesn't take anything. what benefits are there for guys taking folic acid? Clueless on what guys should be doing  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | OH is taking VITC+ZINC and starting him on Folic acid from today - some research suggests that the man should also take it to help prevent neural defects (or something like that). I take preggo Multi-vit and Vit B6 to help my spotting. I also have honey on my cereal as it can help with EWCM and it is natural. |

I think the men should start research, we do enough of it!! hehe Takes 2 and all that!  |
