Congrats on the trying to concieve....Folic acid should be in your system for at at least 6 months b4 becoming pregnant to help your baby's chances.

Women have been having babies since the beginning of the human race and there was no need for it before. I think as long as you eat a healthy diet you will be fine. Please note I'm not against taking folic acid I just dont see it as being essential,what is meant to be will be. Good luck.

You should keep taking 400mg a day. And you will need to keep taking your prenatals through your pregnancy and after if you plan to breastfeed. Unless you have a perfectly balanced, healthy diet (which most people in the US don't), then I would keep up the supplements. Why risk the health of your baby?

KEEP TAKING THE FOLIC ACID!! ITS GOOD TO BE HEALTHY PRIOR TO PREGNANCY. IT HELPS TO DEFEND THE BABY AGAINST BIRTH DEFECTS.ASK YOUR OBGYN ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF SUPPLEMENTS EAT A VERY HEALTHY DIET!!
BEST WISHES TO YOU!!!
