going off pill

Congrats on everyone's BFP! I am new to this board and just had a quick question. I will be going off the pill in a few months to get my body used to no pill and than finally TTC! Is there anything I can do now until I am actually off of the pill to help my chances? Thanks

Re: going off pill

I would say to take folic acid BUT I would ask your doctor how many mcgs you should take. Some say 400, some say 800 and I am on 1000 for other reasons. It may also be suggested that you take either a multivitamin or a prenatal. Good luck!

ETA: It wont increase your chances, but it will prepare your body to be healthier AND it is better for the baby should you get pregnant earlier than you expect to.

I would talk to your DR. He or she might have some ideas!

Good luck!

My Dr. told me to wait 3 months before TTCing after I came off the pill... but I came off and we weren't taking any preventative measures (because I thought it would take months to get pg anyway) and I got pregnant in the first month. Dr. says all should be fine.
