Hi Ghost,
I am just over my 2WW with a BFP but as in most cases one worry has been replaced by another. My acupuncturist has suggested I take a multi-vitamin each day and the bottle she has suggested is a Global Enzyme multiplex plus. On the front of the bottle it directs to take two tablets three times a day. My concern is this. in the supplement facts on the back it says two tablets have the equivelant of 3300 IU of Vitamin A, so taking three lots would equate to taking 9900 of Vitamin A. What concerns me is that I have read that a dosage of vitamin A over 5000 IU is seriously harmful to the growth of the embryo / foetus. I am confused because on the front the bottle it says "for pregnant and lactating women". Am I just worrying unnecessarily or should I perhaps take them later on in my pregnancy (GOD willing)? Please give me your advice because I am becoming slightly neurotic about what is good to take and what is not.
Thank you
