    Hi Rfowler.
    We take the Sanatogen version, and are currently in the 2ww, however it is with IVf so who knows. I think most pregnancy vits are pretty much the same, and a great idea to take.
    Runner, thats is typical isn't it, but I bet it feels great to ask them to redraw! When is your scan hun?
    I think I would put an announvement on FB, I have been very public about our issues, I find it stops people asking stupid questions, and making comments about it being us next etc, and it has worked for us, I don't want pity but a bit of consideration is nice.
    However, not many people know we are going atm so no announcement til 12 weeks if at all possible!
    2ww is going slowly as always, hubby gone back to work today so I won't see him til Friday night. Out of all my cycles I have only made test day pre AF once so knicker check has started in earnest! 7 days to go, eeeek.
    Have a great day ladies.

    I've been taking them, as has my DH until the doctor changed it to something else. Nothing dramatic though, we are still not pg:p

    So our last 2 BFP's on this board went to the same clinic near Cardiff?!...I think we need to move to Wales! :D;)

    Still waiting for my appointment to come through for my cyst removal :whistle:

    I took them until they made me sick - I think thats just me though rather than any problem with the tablets! Folic Acid just doesnt agree with my digestive system :(. I'm waiting to speak to the consultant about what I can take instead. Dont let me put you off - I'm sure they are good tablets and taking multivits can only be good!


    ...I'll be over on the Rightmove website if anyone wants me :D

    Good luck Lisa - have got fingers crossed for you. :j

    I'm joining you on knickerwatch. I usually spot up to 7 days before AF and nothing so far - thats not a SS I hope :o

    My OH has his second SA on Wednesday. He has stopped taking his vitamins (wellman conception) as he says they make him constipated - so we need to try and alternative. Can the vitamins make a huge difference to the results?

    Do you think they may have forgotten about it?

    Some say they do, some say they don't.

    DH had abysmal results after taking wellman for 3 months, changed to vitamin E and some multi something doctor prescribed, and after 4 month the 2nd SA came back even worse:D

    I asked if there's anything else we could do, and the doctor prescribed Clomid 25mg every day, and after nearly 3 months, his count has doubled:cool: Could also be because he didn't drink for a week though...

    My OH had pretty Rubbish sperm and we were told that we'd have to have ICSI at our first IVF appointment. He did all the usual no drinking stuff but took selenium and zinc (max recommended dose) and 3 months later his little swimmers had improved so much that we only needed straightforward IVF :)


    A bit OT but has anyone "seen" Lilo ?

    I haven't seen any posts from her since Xmas when she had to cancel a consultants app due to the weather.


    I do hope she's OK and maybe she's just taking a break from all the TTC malarkey but I miss her words of wisdom and the thread just isn't the same without her.
