My husband and I are planning for a baby, and my doctor suggested starting folic acid. There are so many options in the market, I'm confused. Which type of folic acid is considered best when trying to conceive?
Haan na, even my gynac told me that taking folic acid before planning is very important. I think you should just ask your doctor for the best brand because everyone's body is different, ho na? Don't buy anything over the counter.
My MIL and mom told me to start taking folic acid even before we started trying actively. I asked my gynac during a pre-pregnancy checkup and she gave me the right tablets. Best to get it prescribed from your doctor!
Honestly, I just took the one my doctor prescribed me before conceiving. Is there a specific brand your doctor suggested? I am in my 6th month now and still taking it daily.
For conceiving, folic acid is a must but please get a proper doctor prescription. Since I had thyroid issues, my doctor adjusted my folic acid and other supplements after looking at my blood reports. Regular follow-ups are key!
Look, folic acid is basic but you shouldn't just pick one from the pharmacy. Go to your gynac, get your blood tests done, and take whatever brand they prescribe. Every brand has different strengths, so self-medication is a big no.
Please don't take any random folic acid tablet on your own. After my miscarriage, my doctor put me on a specific prenatal with methylfolate which is better absorbed. Always consult your gynac first to see what is safe for you.
