yes! it will help your chances by increasing the folic acid and vitamin b levels in your body, making it a more stable and healthy environment for a baby. Also you will want to stay away from caffeine, which has been proven to make it harder to conceive. good luck!

Have the doctors given you the ok to concieve again? You might want to be sure that your body is ready to concieve again. My brothers girlfriend had a miscarrage and was pregnant again about 7 months later and lost the baby because her body wasnt ready yet. If you have the ok, than good luck!!

alkalineangel agrees: yes, i just figured she had done that. My doctor told me to wait 3 months...we waited a little longer.

It is generally recommended that you wait til you have had three normal periods before trying to conceive again,it gives your body time to heal, but that is just a general rule, it is different for different women. Prenatal vits will not help you to conceive, but they will help to ensure your body is in a good state for pregnancy, and help maintain a healthy pregnancy once you have conceived, as will a good diet and gentle regular exercise. Good luck, many women have been there, myself included, and have gone on to have healthy children.

No, prenatal vitamins won't get you pregnant. It will help to prepare you for carrying a baby. Its for the mercury in fish products or tuna products etc. so that your body does not have too much mercury. Hope that helps.

endlessecho disagrees: The midwifes wher eI go told me that you would have to eat about ten dump truck loads of fish for the mecury to effect anything.
Myth agrees: I agree with the preping the body for pregnancy if not the mercury part.

It is to my understanding that it does help. Regardless, it doesn't hurt, but you should make sure the vitams you are taking are only over the counter ones, or ask your OB to prescribe you your own and not take someone elses.

All prenatal vits do is get your body ready for pregnancy in terms of nutrients, and ensure any baby you conceive is as healthy as possible. They cannot increase your fertility, they simply dont have the ability to do that! If only, every woman trying to conceive would be taking them (though they should, but so many dont!) I would always take ones prescribed by, or recommended by your own dr, there are so many dangerous things for pregnant women to be taking, its just not worth the risk. My partner is a dr and he says so many people have the misconception that vits help you get pregnant, if they did fertility clinics charging a fortune for treatment would be out of business!

Comments on this post
Myth agrees: Very good information... Love the thought of vits putting the clinics out of business

Prenatals will help your body become a wonderful environment for implantation and carrying a baby. They will not help you to concieve.
