We just started trying and my friend told me to begin folic acid already. But does it actually help in conceiving ya it's only for after pregnancy? bit confused, anyone who can clear this?
It is a very cheap and essential supplement that doctors prescribe to everyone trying to conceive. Just go to your regular gynac, get a prescription, and start taking it daily.
I used to worry if my folic acid dose was too low or high when we were trying! But doctors suggest starting it at least a month before conceiving to keep the baby safe, so please start taking it without stress.
Folic acid doesn't directly make u pregnant, but it is extremely important to start taking it before conceiving to prevent birth defects. Don't skip it, just ask your doctor for a prescription.
My pre-pregnancy app highly recommended starting folic acid 3 months before active trying. It prepares your body and ensures a healthy environment for the baby from day one.
