folic acid
I have a question for you ladies... Is it ok to just take Folic acid instead of prenatals or do you have to take both? I am probably going to be trying to concieve at the end of this year, i have to have some test done first i have to go for a 48 eeg and a MRI but over all I did get the ok from my doctor, but dh and i want to make sure we have the money so we can try in october.

Re: folic acid
At my TTC appt, my doctor told me that my one-a-day for women, which includes 400 mcg of folic acid, will cover me until I'm pregnant. You get folic acid from your food and drink as well. Taking it readys your womb for conception and acts as a preventative measure for things like spina bifida, etc. You're supposed to get 800 mcg a day for at least 2 months before ttc.
In addition to the doctor you need to give you the all-clear, you should make an appointment with your gyno. They'll know what's best for you personally to take.
