Question about taking Folic Acid
DH and I aren't trying to conceive yet. But at my last checkup my ob said that I should start taking Folic Acid to make sure that my levels are good for when we start TTC. She didn't say how much I should take. Has anyone been given this recommendation before? If so, how much did you take? Thank you!

Re: Question about taking Folic Acid
800 mcg a day.
This is usually the level in over the counter pre-natals. They are good vitamins and are great for your hair and nails.

Re: Question about taking Folic Acid
My Dr told me to start taking a Multi-vitamin with at least 400 mg of folic acid while I'm TTC.

Mine too, at least 400mcg of folic acid. She said anywhere from 400-1000. I take a a multi vitamin with 400mcg and I take a separate supplement with 400mcg for a total 800mcg of folic acid!
