    Pink swayers should have 1200-1600mcg of folic acid or folate a day. Ideally, you'd want to spread it out for better absorption instead of at one time.

    I prefer you guys get 1200-1600 mcg (that is micrograms and ug is the same with folic acid - micrograms)

    I would have you keep the levels consistent and just take one more a day. Don't go up and down with it, just stay the same level and then at BFP, keep going with that level till end of first trimester of pregnancy then wean off gradually to the amount in a prenatal.
