would you delay ttc if not taken folic acid for full 3 mths beforehand?

that kind is great because the TTC pink diets are often pretty low in iodine. That having been said, it's best to take 1200-1600 mcg folic when TTC pink (because the diet tends to be lower in folic to begin with) and so I'd like you to add in a straight folic without the iodine as well. So I'd have you take one of the Blackmores (covering your iodine needs and 500 folic) and then 2 more straight folic either 400 mcg or 500 mcg to get you into the 1200-1600 range. HTH

Yikes, I never took it with other of my DS's before getting pregnant. Just once I knew I was. I've been taking it for 5 weeks this time.. hope thats okay!
