Hi There,
I was wondering what you lot think about Folic Acid levels? Reason I am asking is my doc prescribed me 400 microgram per day, but I have a close friend who recommends taking 5mg daily (12 times as much). She is the same age as me and had a 37 wk stillbirth last year due to Spina Bifida and said her doc advised and prescribed 5mg due to her age and previous. She is now 17 weeks and all scans showing healthy baby.
I am TTC, starting month 4 and just wanting to give any embryo the absolute best start. I'm also taking iron & b12 due to a long term deficiency caused by gluten intolerance, but I had this years ago too and conceived/delivered no probs.
Thanks for your help,
JM
