TTC: Can you take too many supplements?

Question

I am taking PregPrep and Pregnitude as directed: morning and night. I also take Iron and a PreNatal vitamin. I have been doing research for other supplements. Can one take too many supplements at once for TTC? 
I have been researching evening primrose and sweet potato/yam supplements. 
Should I add these to my daily routine? 
Has anyone had any luck with either of those products or the ones I am currently taking? I was taking a PreNatal and PregPrep and got pregnant but almost 2 months later, I miscarried. I know miscarriages are common but I can’t help but think I was healthy enough. 
I am 26 and we have been TTC for 8 months. It took 6 months to get a BFP.

Answer

Most prenatals contain iron already so unless it’s recommended by your dr due to specific issues like anemia or something, I wouldn’t take additional iron.  Too much can cause liver damage.

Answer

They worked for me, anyway all the vitamin that you do not need the body expels through urine. Vitex should not be taken after the third month because it is abortive, so you should leave them little by little when you get pregnant

Answer

Most vitamins and minerals have an Upper Limit (UL) which is the max that you can take before you’re risking hurting yourself. Look up the upper limits for them and compare it to how much you’re taking. Not only can you be wasting your money, you could be doing more harm than good.
