Hi everyone!

Just wondering when is a good time for my husband to start taking some supplements? I am taking Pregnacare now as we want to start trying early September, should he be taking something now as well in preparation?

Also what should he be taking?

Thanks for your help!

We are ttc early Sept too and OH is starting his b vits and zinc Aug 1st but maybe middle of July as his normal multivits run out then, lol!

Hey huni,

I would say round about now would be fine. My mr isn't on any vit, he says he doesnt see the need and i cant seem to convince him otherwise! Booo

Thanks ladies, think I'll pop down to Waitrose and see what they have!

MrsTIL, you could always crush them up and put them in his dinner

xx

Ahaha!! Thats a brill idea mrs! If we dont have a BFP by Christmas thats the plan! Sorted! lol

we're are trying early september and will both start taking our vits from 1st Aug - pregnacare for me, zinc for him! xx

Sorry to gatecrash, but I need to ask. What vits are you giving your oh's and in what doses? And what are they for? I know I'm dim and should know this but I'm slightly forgetful

mfs - zinc is supposed to help his swimmers, allegedly.

H2B multivits got replaced when they ran out a few weeks ago, with Tescos version of wellman, same vits and doses but much cheaper. For now I'm just taking folic acid but will switch to pregnacare conception (or tescos version) come ttc time (sept)

Sorry for GC from prgnancy but I was told that vitamins take three months to get into the system. Not sure how true that is but I put hubby on them on second month and we got our BFP on month four, which was three months after he started taking them.

I put him on Zinc and selinium (sp)

Hope this helps.

My oh won't even take painkillers never minding vits!! He is very anti-pill, he likes to thinh he's too 'manly' for that kind of thing, lol x

My OH is starting the zinc tonight. He takes vitamin C normally, so I just got some of those with zinc in. He was grumbling, but seeing as he wants a baby more than I do, I told him to stop moaning!

Hi All,
Like missfancyshoes & mrs til, my oh seems to think he doesnt need to take vits either. He was taking vit c with zinc but i noticed the full tub still in the glove box of the car, he forgets to take them. tried crushing them up 2 stick in his morning cuppa but the soding things reform in the cup! lol If anyone knows of a brand that this doesnt happen to or if uve got any other ideas i would be realy greatful. Why are men so rubbish at doin simple things? xx

We have started taking ours woot!!! Roll on september.

whats the dosage of zinc they recommend and what are Bvits for. OH is also rubbish at taking anything so may have to be sneaky lol.

I just bought a standard bottle of zinc tablets in asda, didnt even think about dozage! I did that last time too tho so it must be ok lol

Hey broodypants!
Just thought id let you know i had a result tonight on the vitamin front, we were in Tesco and i pointed out his and hers sanatogen pronatel vitamins! And he said "Fine!!!" and grabbed them!
Soo uber happy with that lol
Just thought id let ya know
xxxxx

Brilliant MrsTIL, really good news!!

I haven't got a clue how much OH's should take so i'll be feeding mine the Tesco B-actives as they seem to have a good amount of zinc etc....don't laugh, i even put them on his spoon in the morning to make sure he takes his multivits!!

Aww SF, sounds like me. I have to remind him most mornings.
