you don't need any prescription, just go to the store and buy it! make sure you don't overdo vitamin E though!

First of all folic acid and vitamin E don't aid conception. They are just excellent for a new baby's brain and spinal cord development and taking them before you are pregnant is an excellent idea to prevent birth defects in a newly formed fetus.
Taking one pre-natal vitamin a day should give you all the folic acid and vitamin E you need and you can get that over the counter.
Good luck!

No you don't, but make sure you are taking the correct dosage. Ask your doctor anyway to make of this or check with your pharmacist or chemist (not the girl at the front counter). Good luck

No, they are sold otc. I would however go to a healthfood or vitamin store to buy them, just so you know that you are getting a pure form.

No but when you have your checkup, tell her that you are taking them.
