too much folic acid?

trying to get my body ready.. I am taking one a day currently, but after I am done with BCP at end of August, I am going to switch to TwinLab pre-natal... should I take extra 400mg folic acid??
Is 1200 mg way too much?!

Re: too much folic acid?

I am going to assume you meant you meant mcg and not mg.

Before I went off the pill I was taking 1mg (1000mcg) of Folic Acid. Once I was definitively TTCing, my doctor prescribed prenatals that had the same amount of Folic Acid in it. He told me to stop taking additional Folic Acid as there was enough in the prenatals. He said taking more wouldnt hurt but it wouldnt help either.
