Does anybody know?

I haven't been taking my Folic Acid this cycle (through being totally forgetful!), is it essential to have been taking them for months before you conceive?

What I mean is, hypothetically, if I was to concieve this month, would I be at increased risk of mc because I've not been taking them? And would it make a difference if I started taking them again from today?

Sorry for the daft question, I've been thinking/worrying about my last mc and panicking in case I get a bfp and it happens again. I'm totally neurotic, I know lol, but any advice/comforting words would be appreciated

Hi Hun,

Didnt want to read and run...They say if you're TTC its a good idea to. Thats simply because you know that you are going to get pregnant.

I asked my midwife the same question, and she said "Think of all the women who get pregnant by accident... they start taking it once they know they are pregnant...not before."

Hope this helps?

Thanks hun, yeah I didn't think about that. I think I'm just freaking out a little... this is the first month since my mc that I think we might have a chance... I'm only about 4dpo and it's already driving me insane haha. I'm going to try and take my Folic Acid every day now... it will be easier once I get back to work on monday. Kids are all back after summer hols then, so will be back to the work routine NORMALITY!!!! haha, never thought I'd be glad to get back to work XD
