Folic Acid....400 mcg or 800 mcg?

My multi-vitamin is 400 mcg, but many of the posts I read from you ladies say your dr's recommend 800 mcg while TTC. Which is it? I thought you were supposed to bump up to 800 when you become PG.

I just went to my gyno 2 weeks ago. I told her we will begin TTC in a couple of months. I take a multivitamin with 400mcg and she said that was good. She will start me on 800mcg when I become preggo.

You should just go to the doctor and get a prescrpition for a prenatal vitamin.
