Which supplements should I pause after a positive pregnancy test?
- Answer: After a positive pregnancy test, continue your prenatal vitamin routine, but pause fertility-specific supplements unless your OB/GYN tells you otherwise. In most cases, it’s appropriate to keep taking a prenatal, DHA/omega-3, choline, and any clinician-recommended nutrients like vitamin D or iron. However, many women are advised to stop preconception-only add-ons such as CoQ10, egg-quality supplements, adaptogens, hormone support blends, and any high-dose vitamin A or retinol supplements not specifically formulated for pregnancy. The goal after a positive pregnancy test is to simplify your routine and shift to pregnancy-safe, trimester-specific nutrition, like our 1st Trimester Prenatal Pack. Because supplement needs can vary based on your medical history, fertility treatment, thyroid medication, or other prescriptions, review your full routine with your OB/GYN once pregnancy is confirmed.
