Sounds good! I take Royal Jelly (All the B vitamins) and Unbiquinol (because I am older). My prenatal has 60mg of iron in it but if you are taking two supplements with iron in them you'd need to add them togeather. I'm also drinking a probiotic. Don't forget the green leafy vegetables

I have been supplementing with Ubiquinol, Prenantal vitamin, additional vitamin B6, fish oil, flaxoil, wheatgrass tablets, " Fertile CM" ( a product to improve CM) , Macapowder, and red raspberry blend to improve uterine lining, and low dose aspirin. I have been doing this regimen for almost a whole year now but cannot say that it helped me conceive. I really do believe that good egg quality is one of the main reasons for success and the quality declines the older you get. I will continue with my regimen because it is a habit now but I doubt it will do much for egg quality. An excellent resource is Marilyn Shannon's book " Fertility Cycles and Nutrition". I highly recommend reading it. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

This is what I'm taking:

Prenatal One Advanced MultiVitamin
Royal Jelly (2x a day - 500 mg each)
B6 (100 mg)
B12 (1000 mcg)
Folate (400 mcg)
D3 (1000IU)
Flaxseed (1000 mg)
And a green smoothie at least once a day.

If this cycle doesn't work, I'm going to start taking Evening Primrose Oil from CD1-Ovulation then Flaxseed after ovulation.

Also, I hadn't heard of Unbiquinol before so I'm going to have to look into that!
