Hi everyone looking to see what advice your doc given about folic acid. My doc said to me that at my age 38 the new guidelines is 5mg folic acid 3 months prior to conceiving and 12 weeks into pregnancy. Told dose higher due to risks of age only available on prescription. I've been doing this and losing weight to prepare for ttc with doc supervision. However was at another doc for weight check and mentioned doseage and said was new to her and she was 40 having her child...curious now to see what everyone else is doing... it bothered me a bit when googled coz high dose possibly linked to breast cancer! Im at risk as my mum had breast cancer... any views on this?
