Hey comadre!!! well, i heard vitamin E to heal uterus lining and vitamin C also is good for ttc along with the prenatals.
I am in the waiting for O club right now....are you there also? or are you in the 2ww??

Hi girls! Yeah -- my friend who is also a midwife said to take, in addition to the prenatal, 400 IU of Vitamin E and 2000mg of Calcium. I am taking only an additional 1200mg of Calcium (2 tablets) because I drink a lot of milk and the calcium fortified orange juice. Didn't want to go overboard.

Ahhhh, I'm glad you posted this. I just read that lady's e-mail to me and it said 2000mg of Vitamin C!! Not, Calcium. I'm sure the Calcium has not hurt me but I'm going to go buy some Vitamin C now.

If you decide to take Calcium supplements, get the ones that have Vit D in them. This helps your body to absorb the Calcium. Also Folic Acid supplements are extrememly important.

Go get your vitamins girlie. =)

Iam just taking folic acid right now. I had my last d&c 8/28 and was told to wait 3 months as well. I was also wondering about baby aspirin???

by Pippsquike, Sep 20, 2006 12:00AM

oooh I am glad you asked this....

I wanted to resume my regular suppliments... which was a daily vitamin, B12, and L-Arginine

Are the B12/L-arginine safe to take while TTC? I have replaced the Daily vitamin with a Prenatal ... but haven't called to check on the other two since I have a while before I can start TTC.
