Just got my pregnancy confirmed last week and gynac started me on folic acid. I keep seeing different numbers online and now im confused about the right amount per day. Can someone share what their doc told them?
My doctor actually started me on folic acid even while we are still trying, she said its good to begin before conceiving. I take it daily now. Maybe ask your gynac for the right amount since it varies. Glad I started early.
Because of my history my doctor put me on a slightly different amount, so I wouldnt want to throw a number out. The point is folic acid is really important early on. Please get your dose from your own gynac rather than a general figure.
My gynac prescribed the standard dose she recommends, and she said ideally start it even before conceiving and through the first trimester. The amount can differ if u have certain conditions, so dont decide the dose yourself. Just take exactly what your doctor prescribes.
