My body felt and acted differently when I switched to this prenatal. I have been through an IVF cycle before I switched to this vitamin. I was taking another brand of prenatals for the last 2 years while TCC. From IVF, I had 15 eggs retrieved, mostly all matured and fertilized. I took a 3 month break before starting another round of IVF. I was low on prenatals and thought about trying something new, with plant based ingredients and folate (not folic acid) in hopes it can possibly help my body produce healthier, better quality eggs. I was drawn to this brand because of the reviews and good for you ingredients. I ordered the large bottle, enough to last me through the next IVF round. In addition, I added DHA supplements since there is none in this vitamin. Almost immediately after I switched, my energy level dropped. I thought maybe I'm just tired and having an off week. Overtime, I constantly felt sluggish, the color of my skin became dull, I started developing dark under eye dark circles, and my nail beds were growing out bumpy with prominent ridges. Then I tried IVF again. This time, I only produced 3-4 follicles total, all of which that wasn't growing at the rate it was supposed to and my estrogen levels dropped considerably. I was on the same protocol and everything so my RE was shocked that my follicle count was low when I can and have done better. My cycle was cancelled due to poor response. The only thing that changed in my life was the prenatal vitamin I was taking. After finishing this bottle, I switch back to the previous brand I used. After a few weeks, my energy level returned to normal, my skin looks healthier, dark circles are clearing, and my nail bed is growing back smoothly. I also started another IVF round and my follicle count after 2 days of STIMS is around 10 and my levels seem to be better. This is when I realized, all the changes I was experiencing was likely due to this vitamin. One of the doctors told me natural doesn't always mean better
