Was anybody Vitamin D Defeciant while TTC?
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??
-
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!)

How did you find out if you were Vitamin D dificient? Blood test or something else?

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.
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...

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!
-
@redmarties; what was your vitamin D number?
maybe because mine was so low she wants me to do a mega dose...
-
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.
-
@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.

My vitamin D hovers around 10. 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
