My gynac put me on folic acid the moment my test came positive but honestly i forgot to ask her the proper amount. Now im just confused if im taking the right quantity daily. How much are you all taking?
The folic acid need is highest in early pregnancy for the baby's development, so starting it on time matters. But the exact daily amount really depends on you, so let your gynac decide that part. Just be regular with it.
I was confused about this too in the beginning honestly. My gynac just gave me a tablet and said one every morning, didnt even tell me the mg. Did anyone else just trust the prescription? thats what I did and it felt fine.
Generally docs start it even before conceiving if you are planning. The dose your gynac gives is the right one for you, dont go by what someone else is taking na. Some women need a higher dose so always confirm with your own doctor.
With my PCOS my doctor actually kept me on folic acid even while we were trying. The amount can be different for different women so I wouldnt suggest a number. Pls just take what your gynac has written and ask her if you are unsure.
My gynac put me on folic acid the moment my test came positive, both times. Dont try to figure out the number yourself yaar, every doctor decides based on your history. Just take whatever she prescribes daily without skipping.
