Folic acid ?

QCinOctQCinOct member

I was at the clinic the other day for a Rx refill and told the dr the other stuff I take. I have been taking 1mg folic acid since I went off bcp in 2007. I knew that the recommendation was lower than that but my H is older and I couldn't find anything saying that taking more was bad. Anyhow, she said that they now recommend taking 5mg folic acid but that its only by prescription (she wrote me a prescription). I hadn't heard of anyone taking that much. How much do you take?

    I am taking whatever is in my prenatal, as well as 4mg of prescription folic acid.  I got the scrip when I started IVF. 

    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
