We are planning to start trying in a couple of months and i keep reading folic acid should be started early. But how early exactly before conceiving? Want to do everything right this time.
We are planning to start trying soon so this is exactly my question. So i should begin folic acid even before conceiving right? Good to know, will ask my doctor for the right one to take.
My gynac said ideally start folic acid at least 1 to 3 months before you try to conceive. It helps prevent neural tube defects in the early weeks. So the earlier you start once you plan, the better.
Yes, starting a few months before conception is the recommended thing. Dont just pick any random supplement though, let your doctor prescribe the correct dose. Its a small step that genuinely matters early on.
