Prenatals - or a vitamin with 400mg of folic acid

I got sample packs from my gyno.
I am taking duet. There is a thread on here about prenatals and folic acid is one of the most important things you should be taking. You can get it right in CVS.

I take the GNC prenatal vitamin... as long as you have a good multi vitamin with 400mcg of folic acid when you are TTC, you are all good

Re: Should I be taking vitamins? what kind?
I was taking Pre-Care with a prescription but I switched to the TRader Joe's brand.
My friend suggested I start on prescription even though there is an over the counter one because I anticipated problems getting pregnant. I have very long irregular cycles and a short LP. she said if I get a prescription then there is proof of when I started trying, particularly if the health insurance gives us issues later on.

Re: Should I be taking vitamins? what kind?
I went to my gyno last year and he told e while I am TTC to just take folic acid everyday.
When I asked about prenatals he told me not to worry about them later on but folic acid was imperative.
