Thank you so much for the video. I have just started taking my prenatal vitamin and Vitamin D to day 🙂. Wish good luck whoever is trying to get pregnant ♥️

[@Dollsfromlondon]

Did you get pregnant?

[@martijnversteeg]

I love that you integrate your vegan lifestyle while still recognizing the differences in D3 and D2. Well done, it is always hard to seperate our own personal health strategies from what could be best for someone with other lifestyle.

[@ZaraBizara]

Thank you so much for all of this information! And good for you for being able to make this video while losing your voice. I hope you feel better soon.

So does vitamin D affect men or women or both in terms of fertility? It wasnt clear because you kept saying people? Is it both men and women then if its people?

[@Srodriguez97]

Thank you for making a video on this! I went through egg freezing a couple years ago prior to chemo, and I remember the pre-procedural bloodwork tested for many factors and Vitamin D surprised me!
Can you please make a video about other nutrients fertility doctors test for?

[@nian60]

Vit. D is needed for both men and women for other things than fertility, so I would assume both.

[@TheURBANSTAR91]

Love this video. can you do a video on how women should go about trying to conceive while breast feeding a child over the ago of 18-24 months? What works? What success looks like? What hinders being able to conceive? How opk tracking is impacted etc.

[@jeswenesahibdeen8255]

Amazing, thank you! Can you do a video on the effect of Myo inositol on fertility?

[@sarahjschultz]

This is such a helpful video - thank you for taking on the complexity of supplementation and giving us strategies to navigate the ambiguity. Have there ever been seasonal effects observed in IVF success rates as a result of these natural fluctuations in vitamin D levels ?

[@shannonharding6781]

What is your go to vegan prenatal?

[@natalyaaa996]

Hi , Will i have a lower chance of getting pregnant if i had a cold during the time of my fertile window ?? i am currently taking folic acid and vitamin D3 , cod liver oil , vitamin C and i have been taking these for 3 months.

[@itiswell3316]

If you can stop using folic acid and use folate. You can research more about dangers of folic acid

[@natalyaaa996]

okay will take that onboard but dose having a cold effect getting pregnant as i had a cold but didn’t have a temperature or cough just a runny nose

[@laurendamasoruiz]

Can you please show me a study where folate was as effective as folic acid for protecting against birth defects?

[@bryannasonnier6991]

Thank you for the video I'm trying to get pregnant and was told I have very low vitamin D. But I was also diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroid disease. My question is, how does this affect my fertility? Will medication help with getting pregnant, balancing out that hormone??

[@badtxtr]

Thank you for this video! I am not sure if you will see this but I am vitamin D deficient and have started taking vitamin supplement for it. I've had 3 miscarriages so far prior to starting vitamin supplements. could vitamin D play a role in pregnancy loss??

[@princeabraham1983]

God bless.
