    Folic acid and weaning from question

    I take three 800mcg of folic acid and there is one 800mcg in my prenatals(so total is 3200mcg) I am only 9 weeks along but when I hit 12weeks I want to start weaning myself off to one 800mcg(which is in my prenatals) I have no clue how to do this? Do I just stop one 800mcg for a week then stop another one next week? I also take extra 50mg of b6 and want to wean myself off that to just what's in my prenatals do I drop down to 25mg for a week and then quit? And I won't start weanin myself from the extra folic acid until I am 12 weeks, anyway tia for helping me

    Sometimes God's plan is different than what you had in mind, but His plan is always better and He might surprise you later

    Wean slowly after first trimester...down to what is in your prenatal. Do your FAs split in half? I would say, cut out one half dose per day for one week, then on and on...

    I think it is easier to gradually space doses farther and farther apart and then gradually drop pills...the b vitamins are so small and hard to split.

    There's no right way to do it, just as long as you can do it gradually.
