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

Ok that got one today it's folate with iodine blackmores brand (aus). Folate 500 and iodine 150. They ok levels with ttc girl?

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
