I take my prenatal vits which have 400mcg and my b50 complex which has another 400mcg plus two 1mg folic pills everyday and have had no side effects. The yellow pee isn't a side effect, the extra vitamins that the body can't absorb are water soluble so they come out in your pee.

I have stopped taken it and I seem to be back to normal? It is so infuriating as I know I need it as if and when I get pregnant (might even be preggers) it is so important.

catch 22?
Hey Lisa,

I noticed you said you took it just before you went to bed? Have you tried taking it with food and perhaps in the morning? I just know by the labels here on the one I take, may be different because Im in Aus, they say to take them with food. Might make a difference?

yeah I mostly took them at luchtime with food but due to feeling so weird I thought Id stop for a couple of days then took another one just before bed I had just flown in from birmingham and had grabbed a late bite to eat so had it with that, thats when i started jumping when I was going to sleep!!! it has never happened before scared the crap outta my bf and the kittys it happened twice so after that the sickness restless arms thing and feeling exhausted I stopped them again kinda scared me a little!

OMG the dreams were endless to, that seems to be all i did at night one after another and remembered them in detail.

Its the only thing I can think of as everything else is normal well folic acid tablets or maybe pregnant and these could be preggers symptons? i am officially late no don't want to get my hopes up but could it be I'm preggers and the folic acid has nothing to do with the symptons?

Watch this space as I will find out tomorrow after work if I dont have my by then I am gonna test eeekkkk...

Thnaks girls yeah I am hoping its a in my tummy messing me around and not the folic acid tablets.

Ive googled the life outta this and the symptons all point to Iron which the body uses in huge amounts when you get pregnant so I am hoping this is the issue fx

i would try to get your daily 400 micrograms from your food intake instead of via a supplement. its easy enough to do if you know what you need to eat <3

Hi guys don't need to test the got me it's disappointing but at least I didnt do a test think i would have felt worse!

Ive been looking at my cycle and I think I o later than I thought as I have a 28 day cycle I went with the info of 14 days before your period although looking back on the nores I made cm seemed to be at cd15 to cd18 and we on cd10 till cd13.

So at least I know I was probably to early with all the and we were wrecked come cd15 to cd 18and didn't till cd18 so its lots lots more lol

Bf is gutted to he thought it would only take us a month also as I had all the symptons but guess wanting to be preggers and actually being preggers makes you think to much
