Two days till my beta and I am definitely getting antsy. So, to try to pass the time, two questions for you...
1. How much folate and/or folic acid does your prenatal vitamin have?
2. Do you take any other supplements as part of your pcp/ttc regimen?
Re: PNV/supplement question/poll
1) It has 800mcg of folic acid
2) I have DHA supplements, but I don't take them the entire cycle (because they are just too expensive), only during the 2ww and then if I get a positive beta.
ETA: DHA supplement is Expecta Lipil DHA non-fish source
Oh, I guess I should answer too, huh?
1. I take New Chapter's "Perfect Prenatal," which has 800 mcg of folate. While I like the "whole food" approach for vitamins in general, I am wondering if I should add a folic acid supplement. I only recently learned that the body absorbes the synthetic version (folic acid) better than the natural version (folate), and now I'm worried I'm not getting enough.
2. I can't remember the brand to look up the doseage, but I also take a non-fish-oil-based DHA supplement once a day.

I took the Target brand PNV (I think they have 800mcg.)
My accupuncturist also had me taking Iron and B12
