We are planning since last month and I read folic acid should start even before conceiving. But how much exactly na, im not sure of the amount. Anyone who was TTC, what did ur doctor suggest?
When we decided to try, I felt so overwhelmed by all the medical advice online. My gynac kept it simple and told me to just take 400 mcg of folic acid daily. It made me feel like I was already taking care of my future baby.
Beta, normally doctors prescribe a small daily tablet of folic acid when u are planning a family. Along with that, try to eat green leafy vegetables, spinach, and daal in your daily meals. But do consult your doctor for the correct tablet dosage.
I totally understand how exciting yet confusing this planning phase can be. Most doctors recommend 400 mcg daily to prepare your body for the beautiful journey ahead. Sending u so much love and hoping for your good news soon!
Don't stress too much about the exact numbers, dear. Usually, a standard 400 mcg dose is recommended for trying to conceive. Just book a quick preconception visit with your doctor, and they will give u the perfect prescription.
With my PCOS history, my doctor was very specific about pre-pregnancy vitamins. She prescribed me a standard 400mcg tablet daily while we were trying. Please check with your gynac once, because sometimes they suggest different strengths based on your blood reports.
