Simply put, you should always talk to your health care provider about taking any other sorts of medications or nutritional supplements while you are on fertility drugs. It may be that there is no reason for concern, but it may also be that there are reasons that you should not take pre-natal vitamins while on fertility drugs.

Some health care providers may recommend that you do begin a regimen of pre-natal vitamins once you begin to try to conceive. The important minerals and vitamins in these pills, such as Folate and iron, are extremely important in your baby’s development and can even help your baby’s growth in the very early days just after conception. Generally speaking, there is nothing in a standard pre-natal vitamin that should interfere with your fertility drugs either.

There is some research that suggests that certain vitamins can help with conception, as well. Some studies suggest that vitamin B6 and Vitamin C in particular can help with conception. Certainly both vitamins, and vitamin C in particular, are important nutrients that the body regularly needs an uses. However, studies are somewhat inconclusive as to whether these vitamins truly help with conception. These vitamins are not known to interfere with fertility drugs.

There are some nutritional supplements that should be specifically avoided while you are on fertility drugs as well. While these are not pre-natal vitamins per se, many of them contain the same types of vitamins that are typically found in pre-natal vitamins. The fertility products FertilAid and Fertility Blend are both known to contain extracts of chasteberry or Vitex. Vitex is actually known to work against the fertility drug Clomid, and these supplements should definitely not be taken if you are on fertility drugs such as Clomid.

Again, it is important that you discuss with your health care provider which sorts of vitamin or nutritional supplements may be best for your individual situation.
