I just bought some as we gear up for our TTC#2 journey.
I stopped after I had DS and didn't take them through nursing him for a year.
Need to more diligent.
-
Thanks for the reminder. I forgot today... so my answer is no.
-
yes - but only because i bought a pill box with M-F and put them in there!
-
Yes, but I just traded it out for my birth control. I was on the mini pill prior to TTC, so I was VERY diligent about always taking it.
-
Yep - I had been taking the pill for 7+ years, so I was used to always taking something at night before bed, so I just switched to taking prenatals and haven't stopped!
-
Meh. I probably remember every other day. I used to be much better about it.
-
Yes, I have only missed a few in the last 3 years.
-
I stopped because I was taking a bunch of prescription meds for awhile and didn't want to add something that could make me nauseous. Just started again last night, and I think I'll be pretty good about it! I was when I was pregnant.
-
Erg, no, I'm not good at remembering. I even got the gummy ones so I'd look forward to taking them and I still forget.
-
I JUST started taking gummies again.
-
Pretty good. I got a relaxed about it as TTC dragged on, but I'm better about it now. I take them at night, so they're right next to my toothbrush and it's part of the routine.
-
@coacheswife123: I do this too.
I started before I got pregnant with #1 and will keep taking them until I'm done having children. -
@Stacy: I ran out after I weaned and have been using the rest of my regular multivitamin but I am thinking I will buy prenatal when I run out and use them until I'm done with having children too!
-
Yes - but probably only because I buy the gummies (much easier to take, just pop them in your mouth, no water needed) and I leave them right next to the coffee maker....hard to miss them there
-
Not at all. I was never on the pill so I've never had to remind myself to take something every day. I've gotten better lately!
-
I try - DH and I always took a multivitamin, so I just replaced mine with a prenatal. We'll try to remind each other at dinner time to take our vitamins with food.
-
@bakerbee: Same here! I no longer use the birth control alarm on my phone (ha), but I still take it at the same time every day, when I used to take the mini-pill (before bed).
-
Yep! I have an old lady pill box on the kitchen table so I remember my pills at each meal.
-
Yes, every morning! I took a regular multivitamin + other supplements before TTC, so I was already in the habit.
-
You just reminded me to take mine.
During the week I am usually pretty good since work is routine. But on weekends or whenever I'm not at work, the bottle is right next to my bed but I'd forget! I always apologize to my baby when I realize I didn't take it haha.
-
I'm actually really good at remembering. I'm also on some others meds for TTC, so it helps that have to remember to take all of them!
-
I take them for the first 25 weeks of pregnancy, and then I switch to an herbal supplement in a strong tea form + calcium pills. I actually do better about remembering once I make the switch.
-
I am since I switched to gummies!
-
I just bought some, but I'm awful at taking them. I need to be more diligent about it.
-
Ha, I just took one when I saw this title. I keep them on my desk to remind me to take every day, but try are blending into my desk!
I should keep them in a more prominent location.
-
Yep I do gummies every morning.
-
No I was never good at taking them.
-
Yes. I've taken one every day since I got pregnant with LO #1, all the way through nursing and I never stopped because I knew I was going to be ttc within a few months after I weaned. So it's been 2+ years!
-
Pretty good. I miss a day here and there but overall I'm consistent.
-
I am not so good at taking them unless I set an alarm on my phone.
-
I was so good about them before LO and during the entire pregnancy and while nursing. Then I just stopped taking them and it was hard to get back in the habit when TTC for #2. I have definitely forgotten a few times here and there which makes me feel so guilty. When I finish this bottle (and my next bottle) I am definitely switching to gummies
-
I'm horrible about it, and I take the gummy kind.
-
Yes but I also have other meds I take so it's become a habit for years. I actually have one of those old lady pill boxes and I fill it once a week, so if I forget one in the morning, I see that the box is full so I can remember later in the day. I also use to argh my phone alarm as a reminder
-
Yeah I was good about it and still am. I leave them by my toothbrush and take them before bed every night. I find if I take at the same time it's easier to remember.
-
Yup. Mine have probiotics and ginger in them. So I miss them when I don't take them.
-
Yes I've been taking the gummies for 2.5 years now- 6 months before I got pregnant, 9 months of pregnancy, a year of breast feeding, and now ttc again
I like the gummies so I always take them happily!
-
Yeah taking them before bed makes it easy. Hardly ever miss a dose.
