Frustrated
I'm on CD 18, and I've been taking Folic acid for about 3 or 4 days. I didn't get them prescribed by a doctor, but it's just a vitamin that most of the woman that are TTC are taking. I take a 5mg dose every day.
Now here is the fun part
I'm in the TWW (not really sure if I am since OPK's haven't confirmed a surge, and I don't temp). I have 28 day cycles so I just assume I'm 4dpo.
Aside from all the symptom spotting I'm doing, I feel an increased need to go #2 (TMI) very often. I mean 4/5 times a day, up from a regular of max 2 times a day. I read that this could be a side effect of too much folic acid, but I've been taking it for about 4 days
Along with a constant dull cramp in my lower abdomen (that I'm starting to assume is caused by so much BD this month), these are the only 2 symptoms I'm having
Anyone having similar side effects from folic acid? should I continue taking it.
PS: My diet hasn't changed at all, and I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary, so a stomach bug is pretty much out of the question.
