I'm not trying to get pregnant or anything yet, but i have been taking prenatal vitamins and they are amazing! My hair and nails have been growing like crazy, i love it. I wanted to grow my hair for the wedding because i dont how i want to do my hair and it grows so slow. You should try it if you are having my problem:)

Just a little note on prenatals - There really is nothing wrong with taking them - they are actually rich and folic acid and essential vitamins including B12 - which if one accidentally becomes pregnant is a good thing because you decrease your changes of neural tube defects in your newborn. Prenatals will not change your fertility or make your more fertile because there are no estrogen/progesterone components. As for side effects - I would say - if you are easily prone to stomach symptoms - especially constipation - just watch the iron content and do not take any additional multivitamins. If you do suffer from constipation - you can always add a softener like colace or senokot which are both OTC. Prenatal vitamins are also OTC - no prescription needed!!!!
