Vitamins for Hormone Regulating
I’m not a doctor, but nerdy and love research articles. As always talk to your provider to make sure they’re a good fit for your body and needs.
Ok, so this one is in case you do get pregnant. Crucial for preventing neural tube defects. Better to play it safe 💗
Doctor's Best Fully Active Folate 400 mcg, 90 VC
This one is a strong antioxidant which can potentially improve fertility by reducing oxidative stress. Good for men and women. *stop taking this one once pregnant*

Another one with antioxidant properties. This one has potential to improve both egg and sperm quality. It supports mitochondrial activity function for energy production. Good for both partners to take.
CoQ10 100mg 240 Caps + Omega 3 100mg
Another one that potentially will help with improve egg quality. A tiny amount (I used half a pill 30 minutes before bed) can help regulate your sleep schedule which is crucial for hormone regulation. Often a suggested supplement for those using IVF.
Nature's Bounty Melatonin 3mg Quick Dissolve
This is a pretty solid, basic prenatal that is good to start taking while you’re trying. 💗

Tools and More for TTC
A couple items to help track cycles. :)
An all in one kit. The graph on the app is great for tracking your hormones and temps to get your timing right. Great community too. The tests are easy to use and accurate. Highly suggest this pack.
Easy@Home Ovulation & Pregnancy Test Kit
The backlight is helpful with early morning readings and you can scan it with the Premom app. Temping threw my sleep off a bit, but it was helpful to confirm ovulation in the chart.
Easy@Home Digital Basal Thermometer Blue LCD
Add as many months of info in as you can. The more you have the more accurate it is. The app scans ovulation tests and temp readings which is super handy. I had irregular periods and this with the tests made a big difference.
