Any one taking folic acid?

lozzy21 · Mar 14th, 2009, 20:09 PM

I have loads left over from when i had my scare and i know its recomended to take them 3m before you ttc but since i have no idea when i am going to ttc so should i start taking them now? It could be years before OH gives the go ahead?

Don't see any harm in taking them now xx

hmm, maybe you should just take a multivitamin, which still contains 100% rda for folic acid, until he gives you the go ahead, then stop as soon as you decide and go for the folic then? That way your body is getting everything it needs to make it healthy ready for when you do start TTC? x

ha! Your OH sounds just like mine! Even though a lot of the reasons for waiting I wholeheartedly agree with, there have been times I have tried to convince him to not put one on - but it never worked!!!

My OH's reasons are all selfish, the main one is "i just dont want one yet". If he had valid reasons like i was us to be married first, or we need to save some money ect i wouldent be so bitter and would accept it.

It will happen! My hubby was definitely like that, saying he didn't want one, then would say wait till we're 30, then it would be 1 or none and all of this, then he changed his mind and really came round to the idea - I couldn't believe it. Now he can't wait!! He gets almost as excited as me!! x
