Did anyone take extra folic acid before and during ttc? Did you notice any side effects?

I'm not taking extra folic acid, but it is included in my pre-natal. I haven't noticed any side effects tho.

My OB recommended that I start taking prenatals which contain extra folic acid up to six months before ttc.

I did/do. I have pcos so my body doesnt absorb as much folic acid, so I take more to make sure that I have enough. I also eat a lot of foods that has folic acid in there naturally. No side effects or anything.

I am not taking extra folic acid. My OB just gave me the right dosage when I was pregnant.
