Is taking only folic acid okay?

Question

Hi everyone. I’m ttc and , while we’re currently saving towards IVF early next year, I’m wondering if I should also be taking fertility drugs like Ovaboost or Pregnacare. I take folic acid daily though but don’t know if that’s enough. I’m 42yrs old and hoping for my 🌈 baby.

Answer

Right now folic acid or just any prenatal would be just fine..when you go through IVF they'll give you whatever you need xx

Answer

I take as many vitamins possible 😂 b6, iron, multi vitamins, folic acid, baby asprin. Any help is help. Ttc for 4 year with 4 miscarriages and 4 chemical pregnancy, one day we will be mammys 💙❤ baby dust too you

Answer

I take the whole prenatal. I just don’t take it with iron, but I’m already low in many vitamins and I know pregnancy would really mess with my body if I didn’t have my prescription vitamins plus a prenatal. If you look up which vitamins are essential during pregnancy you can find a few articles on it

Answer

Just folic acid while you're trying to conceive. A full prenatal doesn't make you anymore likely to conceive, there's just no evidence for it. All they do is support your body through fluctuations in hormones (thus ability to absorb/maintain levels of certain vits) and help with vitamin intake when you otherwise might not be taking much in (morning sickness etc). 
A rounding vitamin is just not needed in everyday life if your diet is balanced and correct. If you have a deficiency, your doctor should help you with medication to counteract that.
