Once you get pregnant your OB may recommend more--especially if you have a history of neural tube defects.<br /> Good luck! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/folic-acidhow-much-is-enough#post-45234 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:25:50 +0000 melisslp 45234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Ladies,<br /> I recently went to my annual GYN exam. I told her that I was going to go off of BCP in the new year and we'd be going TTC. We discussed vitamins and the importance of folic acid (especially since I'm older...40). She said that 400 mg. was sufficient, which is in my daily vitamin. Does that seem high enough?<br /> Thanks ya'll!<br /> Melisslp </p>
