Folic acid is the main thing to take

I just switching to taking pregnacare conception which includes folic acid

I know some people have taken agnus cactus which is meant to help - I might try that next month

Hi there milliemoo,
I was taking folic acid and then started on pregnacare last month and as it has folic acid I stopped taking that seperately. I actually think it might be already giving me a boost in energy:-)
Oh I think Im going to get himself the mens vitamins this month unless I get a miraculous :positive ,then I'll never here the end of it about his magic swimmers :loveseed :loveseed .
Then make sure you try stay away from crap processed food and eat as healthy as possible, care for your body with eating fruit and veg.

Mrsel10 I read an expert opinion re agnus castus on another forum and it said "Agnus castus helps your body to make it’s own progesterone which is useful for women who have short cycles as they need to elongate them by elevating progesterone levels" but basically if you have long cycles then its not going to help, hope this helps girls.

No haven't tried anything like that. I don't know if OH would take anything. If we get to past a year trying will go to the doctor and see what they advise, but for now am not going to worry about it

I took pregnacare conception & angus cactus the month I got my BFP! Also used pre-seed so it might be worth a try ladies!
Pregnacare vitamins are great.....made my hair & nails so healthy & I had loads more enegry!! Beware of the neon yellow pee though!

Aha!!strange you mention the neon yellow pee- I've been having that a lot lately and usually mine is totally transparent, I'm not taking pregancare but I have been taking clonfolic for the past few weeks-do you think that's why my wee is luminous??!

I took pregnacare too. Then just eased up on the take-aways and turned the exercise up a notch.

Just a good all round healthy lifestyle they say is good.
