How far before you started TTC did you start prenatals?
We're probably going to start TTC late fall-early winter. I plan to go off the pill in Sept. When should I start prenatals?

You can start now if you want, but my doctor said to start 2 months before TTC.

My dr told me similar except he said that vitamins should be started if possible a year before TTC and no need for pre-natals if the multi-vitamin contains a list of vitamins and amounts he gave me )included a certain amount of folic acid).

that's what I was taking it was a multi vitamin. Just check the folic acid level that's whats important. you can always call your dr. and tell them what you are taking, they should be able to tell you over the phone. I actually asked the pharmacist about the one I used.

I have the list of stuff my dr said - check the vitamin label and it tells you the info.
Folic Acid (400mcg) Vitamin D Calcium Magnesium
He said if my regular vitamin had all of these and since I had been taken them for years now - I am fine and did not recommend I start pre-natals when I will TTC.

I started them about a year before even TTC per my Dr. Like he said, there only vitamins - might as well start taking them now.

Should you take a Folic Acid supplement in addition to a regular vitamin? The multi-vitamin I take has 400mg of folic acid.

I think my One A Day has 400 mcg of Folic Acid and I know that's one of the most important vitamins needed. Thanks!

Actually, for those taking One A Days or regular multivitamins, you should check with your doctor. My doctor said those contain too much Vitamin A.
