I have a history of very long periods…I have thou for the past year or so been on birth control. This week I went to my OBGYN & she gave me Prenatal vitamins & told me that when I was ready to get off my birth control..to take those vitamins & wait 3 mths to get a regular cycle going & start trying for a baby…not that I’m questioning my Dr. but did I hear her right? Imp suppose to take the vitamins when I get off the birth control or get off the birth control, wait 3 mths then start taking the vitamins? I think Imp a lil confused…the only thing Imp not confused about is the day 10-15 are you fertile days!
Thanks to any clarification & any other bits of advice you may want to add!
Ok, yes taking the prenatal vitamins are a great idea to do before you get pregnant!
You do not need to stop taking them at all. Waiting three months after you stop taking the pill is helping to guarantee you have a viable pregnancy when it happens.
Days 10-15 are the usual days that a woman with a normal period will ovulate. You actually have a 36 hour window of when your egg can get fertilized. You need to track your ovulation (with a kit) for three months to chart when your LSH hormone goes up. This is when you can get pregnant. This info just helps you know when your best chance is to conceive.
Hope I didn’t confuse you more.
Good luck!

YEs although it depends how long you have been on b/c but it took me a long while and YOU diffently should start taking prenantal vitamins when you go off cuz it will increase your likely hood of getting preggers faster. so ya your doc is right.

She means you get off your BC then start taking you vitamins and wait 3 months before TTC.
This is so that the vitamins have time to prepare you body for pregnancy and also helps the baby when it is developing.
Good luck!
