if you have a normal diet back you can go down to 400mg.
if taking a pregnancy multivitamin containing it there's no harm in carrying on the entire pregnancy
Wean yourself down over the next few weeks (first trimester) to just the amount in your prenatal.
take through first trimester and then gradually wean off to 400 mcg the amount in a prenatal
take high dose for 12weeks do not cut back until then
