Re: vitamins and folic acid

What you are on might be enough for YOU. Many will tell you that 400mcg while TTC is enough. Some will tell you to increase it to 800mcg when you get pregnant. It depends on the person. I would ask your doctor. There are reasons why they suggest what they suggest. I am on prenatals that have 1000mcg but I have different needs than other people.

I take 800-mcg. suggested by my doctor even before we TTC. My blood tests were low or something. The 800-mcg. can't hurt. I just take a good multi, prenatals made me nauseous and constipated Chat Icon

You can not overdose on FA. So I would be on 800-1000. I am personally on about 3500 micrograms for a condition I have so you can see it is not dangerous
