folic acid? advice please!!!

[Ready]

I can't remember if I took my folic acid supplement this morning.

If I take one now and I did take the one this morning... is that worse than not taking one at all today???

Your thoughts would be appreciated...

For those that don't know me, I am in the 2ww.

Won't make any difference either way.

What's the 2ww? If it's the second trimester, then you don't need to take it at all - only useful up to 13 weeks.

I shouldn't worry about missing one - it builds up over time.

Ok, well I am glad I asked now!! My packet says "Do not take more than the stated dose", which is one (400micrograms) tablet with a meal.

I was convinced this was what I should be taking before and during pregnancy... so should I be looking for a bigger dosage?? Pants. How could I have not researched this.

So it's ok for me to take one now, even though it could be my second one, cos my body will flush out what I don't need??

Ok...

I was put on 5mg (if over 10 times the "normal" dose) during pregnancy, so an extra tablet shouldn't do any harm
