Hello... I'm brand new to this (as in, I literally just got back from my "I want to start attempting to get pregnant now" appointment at the gynae) so apologies if my query is a bit silly compared to all the advanced things you're all talking about :)
My gynae recommended me a brand of 400g folic acid tablets (that also have iodine in) for three months before trying to get pregnant but when I got to the chemist, the brand was actually 800g for before pregnancy ...and 400g should there be success. I ended up getting the 800g pills because the chemist was totally convincing (and I'm not in the UK so was trying to speak a foreign language... which never helps!!) I have done a bit of googling now I'm home and there seem to be all kinds of different recommendations for folic acid intake... so before I pop my first one, I just thought I'd check in and ask what other people are taking?!
