? about prenatals vs. multi vitamins
I asked my GYN about possibly getting off BCP and when and if I should start prenatals. I told her I already take a multi vitamin and an extra calcium pill.
She said as long as the multi vitamin has at least 400 of folic acid then it is ok. I checked my multi and it says 400mcg.
Is this ok to just take the multi vitamin until possibly getting a BFP?

my Dr. also told me to continue to take my reg. multivitamin, and when I get a BFP to call and she will send in a script for prenatal.

I just wanted to ask, I've heard of sometimes taking too much of something can be harmful. So can taking too much Folic Acid be harmful?
Because I want to take additional Folic Acid to my regular multi vitamins.
Also, which brand are you taking for your regular multi vitamins and your Folic Acid?
