We are planning to start trying in a couple months and i read folic acid should begin before. So many options in the pharmacy, im confused which one. Not asking for dose, just what you all took.
Yaar, honestly, almost all the folic acid supplements are pretty much the same at the core. The important thing is to just start taking one. Actually, your gynac will prescribe a specific brand and dosage, so it's always best to stick to that. Don't stress too much about 'which is best' right now.
Hmm, folic acid is so important ho na? Usually, gynacs prescribe a standard one, like Folicam or something similar. But honestly, it's best to ask *your* doctor only. They'll tell you which one suits you and what dosage is right, because everyone's body is different, haan na?
My doctor just gave me a prescription for a basic folic acid supplement, and that was it. The brand usually doesn't matter as much as consistency. Just make sure you're taking 400 mcg daily at least a month before trying to conceive. Ask your gynac for a prescription, it's straightforward.
Dekho, beta, for folic acid, the main thing is to take it regularly. The brand isn't as important as the consistent intake of the correct dosage. Just go to your gynac, tell them you're planning, and they will give you a suitable tablet. Don't overthink this one, it's a simple step.
Any standard folic acid supplement will do, provided it's the right dosage (usually 400 mcg). The 'best' one is the one your doctor recommends for you, as they know your history. Start it as soon as you decide to try for a baby, it's crucial for baby's neural development.
