Can a vitamin d deficiency affect fertility?

Q. My husband and I have been trying to have another baby for over a year, we even tried fertility treatment but nothing worked and no one could seem to figure out why we were not conceiving. We did know that my progesterone was low but that was it. Even a RX for that didn't work. After giving up for a while I found that I have a vitamin d deficiency and have had it for well over a year...could this be why we have not conceived?

A. I honestly believe that a Vitamin D deficiency can affect your fertility. My husband and I tried for 5 years to get pregnant. Last dec I was feeling exhausted I had no strength what so ever. I went to the Dr. and they checked my vitamin D levels they were only at 4. I was diagnosed with a extreme vitamin d definacy and placed on a prescription of 50,000 units of vitamin d a week. On 01/27/10 I found out I was pregnant after just over a month of taking the vitamin d. I really think you should ask your dr for a blood to see where your levels are and if a prescription would help. Sadly I lost our son at 15 weeks due to down syndrome. I recently restarted taking the vitamin d again after stopping for a brief period. I'm hoping to have the same results with a healthy pregnancy this time around.
