I take 1,000 units daily and took it all through pregnancy with the blessing of my doctors. Please talk to your doctors to see what's right for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-deficent#post-135581 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:37:04 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 135581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: No idea what my number was. He said "really low" whatever that means. I get Seasonal Affective Disorder as well (my anxiety/depression is MUCH worse in the fall/winter) so he said the Vitamin D will help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-deficent#post-135580 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:35:56 +0000 MamaMoose 135580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a slight vitamin D deficiency (my primary care caught it) and I got pregnant without any issue. I just take my prenatals and try to get out in the sun as much as I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-deficent#post-135572 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:34:40 +0000 MrsCastro 135572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redmarties; what was your vitamin D number? </p> <p>maybe because mine was so low she wants me to do a mega dose... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-deficent#post-135562 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:29:53 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 135562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a neat way of doing it! My naturopath recommended these weird drops that are 1000iu each (3 drops a day). I've been on them for several months; I wonder if it would go faster if I took the megadoses like you do? That's something to look into for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-deficent#post-135558 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:27:57 +0000 MrsCastro 135558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when i went to annual dr visit and expressed i wanted to try and get pregnant in the next few months (hopefully) she recommended i go to OB for a pre-prenatal exam, it was the OB that sugguested i get a few tests done, Vitamin D being one. </p> <p>I guess the average range for Vitamin D is 20-70, mine was 16...Ouch...so now i have to take a daily D2 2,000iu and a weekly (for 3months) 50,000iu D2 pill. and then retest after i finish... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-deficent#post-135522 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:06:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 135522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did you find out if you were Vitamin D dificient? Blood test or something else? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-deficent#post-135517 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:04:08 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 135517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Vitamin D deficient. I take drops daily from my naturopath, and as far as I've heard, they're fine for TTC. Plus, if they ARE unsafe for pregnancy, I would just cut them out once you find out you're pregnant. Ultimately, if you're healthy, your potential baby will be healthy (hopefully!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-deficent#post-135502 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:59:11 +0000 MrsCastro 135502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was anybody Vitamin D Defeciant while TTC? </p> <p>I am on a high dose prescribed Vitamin D that i take once a week for three months...i am wondering if you decided to wait on TTC until after you finished or just went with it?? </p>
