    Supplement schedule & folic acid question

    So I have a whack of stuff on my counter and wondering how you all do it? I couldn't imagine taking it all at once that would be craziness!
    I have 80mg vitex (was planning to take daily until my ttc cycle, then af-o)
    1000 mcg folic
    Tums for calcium 500mg
    250mg magnesium
    Metamucil capsules (which I'll take before food)
    I also have a B combo of 6 (75mg)12 (150mcg) and folic(800mcg) - is there any value in taking this in addiction to the folic? Or is that too much?

    80mg Vitex seems too low to do much...I would take at least 1 3x a day
    FA once a day.
    Don't take Ca, Mg, or B vitsmins at all, they sway blue!

    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Oh gosh! I thought I saw them in pink sways! Ok! I'm good with dropping some stuff lol!!! Vitex 3x a day it is, with the folic once. Am I missing anything!? I got my fibre pills too.

    Nope that's it for you. Just take fibre pills before fatty/nutritious meals as needed.

    The vitamins are outdated sway tactics the other site still uses but which we have long abandoned here.
