My doc has only put me on folic acid till now. Some friends say iron and calcium start a bit later. Just curious at what week you all were told to begin these?
This is a very important question, and something that absolutely needs to be discussed with your doctor. After my previous experience, I learned how crucial it is to follow every instruction from the gynac. They will tell you exactly when to start these supplements based on your tests.
Oh god, the pill parade! I swear I started taking them so long ago it feels like forever. My doctor told me when to start based on my blood tests in the first trimester. Don't worry, your gynac will tell you exactly when to jump on the iron and calcium bandwagon too!
With my PCOS history, I was extra careful about all my supplements. My doctor prescribed iron and calcium after reviewing my blood work, usually in the first or early second trimester. It's best to always go by what your gynac advises, as it's tailored for you.
This is a question only your gynac can answer accurately, dear. They will determine the right time and dosage for your iron and calcium supplements after checking your blood reports and overall health. Never start any medication or supplement without consulting your doctor first for safety.
Please, please always follow your doctor's advice on supplements like iron and calcium. Every pregnancy is different, and your doctor will consider your specific health needs and blood test results before recommending when to start and what dosage. Don't self-medicate.
