I do not think that's what happened with you, becasue while you did reduce your folic dose, you were also getting more folic via diet at the same time and so your level was probably perfectly steady.
Most people just drop folic acid cold turkey - doctors don't tell people to wean off most of the time, and yet most pg are perfectly fine. We are just wanting to err on the side of absolute caution and hopefully eliminate all losses that can be eliminated. :heart:
