We are planning to start trying in a few months and my friend told me to begin folic acid even before. Honestly im a bit confused, is it really needed before conceiving or only after? Anyone who took it earlier pls share.
Absolutely yes. Both times my doctor had me on it before trying. Don't self start though, get the dose from your gynac, it's a basic but important one.
It is one of the most recommended things before pregnancy dear. Just go to your doctor and she'll guide you on when and how much. Simple and very helpful.
During my IVF journey folic acid was started well in advance by my doctor. It really is recommended before pregnancy. Please take it the way your own doctor prescribes, dose matters.
Yes, very important. My doctor started me on folic acid a few months before we planned, she said it helps the baby's brain and spine develop in early weeks. Best to take it on her advice with the right dose.
