Hi all,
I’ve got my BFP this month - it’s our first month of trying so I’d only been on the diet for 9 weeks at the point of conception (swaying pink), and am not holding out much hope that this will be a girl, but it is what it is, and I’m just glad we were so lucky for it to happen so quickly.
I was taking 1000mg of folate during the sway and have found it really hard to get hold of a prenatal now with folate instead of folic acid. I finally found one (Garden of Life) and have been taking it for a week but today realised it has 1300mcg of vitamin A in and recommendations here (UK) are not to take a prenatal that has Vitamin A in. So I’m now worried that I’ve done damage with this and also back to the drawing board regarding folate. If I take one of the commonly used prenatals like Pregnacare that has 400mg folic acid, alongside the existing 1000mg folate, is that going to be a problem? So confusing!!
Thanks
