Vitamins

When you first visit your doctor and discover that you are pregnant, they will prescribe a prenatal vitamin. These vitamins have been specially formulated for pregnant women. It is not necessary to take additional vitamins unless your doctor tells you to do so.

Facts about Vitamins:

  1. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are stored up in your body tissues and can be very dangerous in excess dosages.
  2. High levels of Vitamin A are extremely dangerous and may cause birth defects.
  3. There is no risk in eating a lot of foods with Vitamin A (carrots).
  4. You should not take no more than 4,000-5,000 IU's of Vitamin A (look on the label)
  5. Beta Carotene is the safer form of Vitamin A.

This calculator predicts ovulation dates based on the date of your last period and the length of your menstrual cycle. It provides approximate dates only. Having intercourse during the few days before ovulation will give you the best chance of becoming pregnant. Since sperm can survive for several days, keep in mind that these are not the only days to become pregnant.

Remember: If your periods are irregular, this calculator is not a good way to predict your ovulation dates. Speak to your doctor about other ways to help you identify when you can conceive.
