How much is too much? (supplements etc)

tickledpink · Sep 24th, 2008, 08:28 AM

I'm just wondering how many things people are taking to help get that BFP.

I'm currently taking folic acid and Vit B6 but I'm thinking about trying Evening primrose oil. I hear that can help increase CM and I rely heavily on that because of irregular cycles and have no idea when I'm going to ov.

The OH says I'm going to turn in to a pill-popper but if it helps me get that BFP i don't care

Im taking a prenatal (usually tesco's or asda's as they're cheap and good), EPO, Vit b complex, omega 3 , Macca and Agnus Castus. yeah, its seems like a lot..but if nothing else- its healthy. Btw, my other have takes man vits, vit c and macca, too!

Good luck, hun!

I take prenatals and on Clomid for now. OH takes man multi-vit and I'm thinking about including red clover and/or red rasp leaves to my regimen and see if that helps! Like the rest of you..if it means I'll get that BFP I'm willing to try!!
