One effect I attribute to it is that the arthritic symptoms I had developed over the past few years went away.

I hadn't heard about an effect on fertility, but for what it's worth, while we did not get pregnant naturally or through timed intercourse with injectibles last year despite good Vitamin D levels, we had success (twin pregnancy) on our first IVF this spring at age 39. I am now still taking 2,500 I.U. daily in addition to my prenatal. I believe the maximum recommended dose in pregnancy is 4,000 I.U.

Good luck to everyone!

I am this PP. I continued my 5,000 I.U. while stimming, and I stimmed great for my age and DOR diagnosis. I don't see a reason to interrupt Vit D supplementation while stimming.

The one thing to keep in mind is that it takes months to restore Vitamin D reserves. I can't answer PP's question whether 4,000 I.U. is enough, but it's probably fine.

I am currently on BC for my first IVF cycle and am taking 4000 units dailty in addition to a prenatal and some other vitamins (I'm 32 and have blocked tubes)....is 4000 units enough? My doctor isn't too concerned about what vitamins I am taking. Also one poster said she stopped taking it while stimming, does that mean once you start the injections right up until retrieval? And then did you continue again and intend to continue until delivery?

Numerous experiments declare that decline in the level of Vitamin D absorption causes despression symptoms. That mostly takes place in the periods of wintertime, and then we realize this challenge additionally as seasons affective disorders or the despression symptoms that goes thru typically throughout winter seasons. We realize the connection amongst this and despression symptoms. Research has shown that the serotonin is actually released double the amount during the summer season sun rays, as compared to winter seasons.

To those that took D3, what did you doc recommend in terms of dosage and brand, especially?

And can over supplmentation hurt? (Sounds like no).
