Feeling horriable after stoping BC and starting prenatal vitamins

Amanda • Good things come to thous who wait... Well I waited for Mr. Right now waiting for bfp
My husband and I have been ttc for 8mths. I stopped BC about 9 months ago and started taking prenatal vitamins. Since doing this I have had horriable nausea and upset stomach (test each month and bfn). I have switched to a prenatal that does not have iron in it and have felt better but wondering if any other women have had same experience coming off bc or starting prenatals ?

I take Rainbow Light Prenatal One, and I don't feel sick. Being off BC makes me a little crazy, especially after ovulation.

I was taking an expensive prescription prenatal that my doctor gave me but it gave me awful stomach issues. I recently switched to New Chapter and it's so much easier and I finally feel back to normal.

I always have to eat right before/after taking my prenatal or I get very nauseous too. The first month was the worse for me because I was also stopping BC and I think my body was adjusting to all the changes. Try it with food and see if that helps.

Prenatal Vitamins and Folic Acid make me feel so ill! Multivitamins always have. ​I take all my vitamins at bed time. As I crawl into bed. Not only do I remember every night (I leave them on my night stand) but I fall asleep shortly after taking them and don't notice any nausea. ​Good luck!

The prenatals make me very nauseous if I take them without food! Hot flashes and everything, ick. Taking them with food definitely helps.

I am still extremely moody after stopping BC.  Almost bipolar. I'm told it's normal. But it's been 3 months. I feel ur pain

I have been feeling pretty awful since I got my mirena taken out. Try taking your birth control at night with dinner. Sometimes food helps coat your stomach before the vitamins do their stuff. Good luck!
