I'm hoping to try for a baby a bit later this year, and can only get conflicting advise about Folic Acid supplements.
My Dr said they are only necessary from when I try to conceive, the pregnancy books suggest a 3 month period before coming off my contraceptive.
I have a fairly healthy lifestyle but am still classed as overweight, I don't smoke or do recreational drugs and I have a varied (if not always healthy) diet possibly lacking in leafy green vegetables.
Can anyone give their opinion on whether Folic Acid IS worth taking? If so from when? And is it better to take just Folic Acid or one of these pregnacare type all in one pills?
Help!
