I'm Currently Feeling:  | folic acid
My Doc prescribed me vitamins which contain 0.8mg of folic acid in them, and also some separate folic acid which contains 0.4mg....so i'm ona whopping 1.2mg a day. Gosh, I'll be full of the stuff!
I double checked that both are necessary and he said yes.
Wow, it's more than i expected. ah well, must be usual I suppose? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | You can never have too much folic acid, it is something that the body can get rid of very easily by only using what it needs and it is not harmful in any way, so I really wouldn't worry about the dosage! I was taking a folic acid tablet as well as a pre-natal tablet and I double checked with my GP and she said there was absolutely no problem with the amount I would be hav |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Sorry, my kitten walked over my keyboard and posted my unfinished message and I can't edit it  But as I was saying, my GP assured me that there would be absolutely no problem with the amount I was having from the pre-natal & extra folic acid tablet.......I am sure you got the gist anyway, but I hate to leave an undone post |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | 400mcg is the standard dose. As for 1.2mg, thats nothing, I'm on 5mg! Anything between 400mcg and 5mg is recommended so no need to worry! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Folic Acid is a wonderment and a miracle.
I had been trying for a baby for 4 years and 1 year of that was on Fertility Drugs. Clomid mixed with Metformin. I had 2 more cycles of Clomid to go when my sister told me about her friend who had gone through the same. One of her friends told her to take Folic Acid too and boom she was pregnant the next month. So towards the end of September I started taking the Folic Acid and then end of November, I found out I was pregnant.
Purely a miracle. |
