Ok So I started taking the Rainbow Lites brand a few months ago since we are going to TTC in late March after my sister's wedding. Do I start taking the DHA now or wait until we are ready?

Re: F/U: Prenatals
I honestly have no idea, but I don't think it would hurt to start taking it now...
Target has their house brand that's the same as Expecta (I think that's what it's called). It's only like $8 for a month supply.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermMe too. I take the Rainbow Light prenatals and I didn't know I needed to take something else. So I am also *listening*
It's basically an Omega fatty acid. There are several benefits to it in general, but it is especially good for pregnant and nursing women as well as babies and young children.

DHA is good for eye and brain health. I would start taking it now, because by the time you realize you are pregnant, a few weeks will already have passed. My Obgyn also said it is more important to take the vitamins before pregnancy then during though. I don't know why?
I feel bad because I was taking the prenatals and DHA semi-regularly (never good at remembering to take pills) and then my douchey obgyn told us we shouldn't try to get prego yet since he thought I was fat and should lose 30lbs first. I was bummed and stopped taking the vitamins and found out a month and a half later I was prego
I hope my body had what the baby needed. At least I found out early, at like 3 weeks and started taking them again right away.
What she said is why you take them early. A post on the bump has this information in it. Sorry no link. Also you want to be prepared and have all those nutrients and vitamens inside you as soon as possible to give your baby a good start.
