Hi, I pledge do to take my vitamins regularly; which has been inconsistent at times. I just got home from class realizing that I was REALLY tired and figured, geez, I didn't take my vitamin today, so I did. I take my Tums when I go to bed at night (a little fruity treat to chew up)!

I am a bit confused about the B12. I am 9 weeks out and have not been told to take B12. I have an appt with my PCP in a few weeks to check all my blood work, including vitamin levels. Should I start B12 weekly or wait until I meet with my PCP?

Also, does our time of the month effect our vitamin/nutrient levels? Just curious if PMS might get worse if vit levels are low.

Ferrous Fumerate is the way to go...Ferrous Sulfate binds you up and is harder on your stomach.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

I have the same problem. Here is what I do and it has helped A LOT. I take a stool softner every night with the vitamins. Helps keep you regular. I have the equate one with a very mild laxative in it. I still sometime get a little backed up (if ya know what I mean), so I will start taking two a night, for a few nights and it fixes the problem.
