Just got my first positive test and im so confused about supplements. My friend started iron folic from very early but my reports are still pending. When did your gynac ask you to begin?
These tablets are usually cheap and often given free at govt centres too, so dont skip them. My doctor told me when to add iron after a blood test. Ask at your first visit and plan it.
My doctor started me on folic acid even before conceiving and through the first trimester. Iron usually begins a bit later, often after the first trimester, because it can worsen nausea early on. But the exact timing your gynac will set based on your reports.
My doctor was particular about starting folic acid early and adjusted iron after my blood reports. Regular follow up helped tweak the dose. Please go by what your gynac prescribes, not a fixed date.
