I've read that women who are planning on concieving should take Folic Acid as a Vitiman. I bought some at the store today but I want to double check with you ladies that it is ok to take it.


Have any of you ladies taken it???


I am on CD8 and although it says to take it before you plan to concieve, should I start or not?

Thanks so much for your advice.


I bought a bottle of Folic Acid (Spring Valley) brand and it is 800 mcg and it says "take 1 tablet daily"


Do I have the correct one?

The TTC road can be a bumpy one.
