This article is saying that a study found that taking a folic acid supplement up to a year in advance of TTC significantly reduces your risk for premature birth and certain birth defects.

I think I better start taking prenatals again just to be on the safe side!

    I started taking them the day I went off my bcp and just over 3 months later I was pregnant. My girls turned out great with absolutly no problems and no signs of PTL.

    I think I started taking mine about 4 months before going off BCP, and I'm still taking them. I figure I'll just keep taking them until we're done having kids, and then switch back to normal multivitamins unless the doc rec's otherwise.
