How much are you guys taking?

[Fredaflintstone]

400ug as part of a pregnancy prep multi vit. What about you Xx

[Sunshine09 in reply to Fredaflintstone]

I have been taking same amount, in the morning with breakfast, then the same amount in a pregnecare vitamin with dinner, but just noticed in email from clinic, it should be 5mg which is 10x that amount, have emailed them to confirm, went in to a panic😳 X

[Lizzielizzielizzie in reply to Sunshine09]

5mg is prescription only amount, you can't buy this over the counter I don't think. Let us know what they say.

[Lizzielizzielizzie in reply to Lizzielizzielizzie]

What did your clinic say Hun?

[Sunshine09 in reply to Lizzielizzielizzie]

All was fine it is only a precaution, as they said I am taking a lot of meds, av to stop my dose today and start on higher dose tomorrow for 12 2weeks then go bk to my dose, but they said it was fine, hcg is high so possibly embryo split, or very early implantation, feel much better now, everything reassured, scan in 2weeks xx❤️😘

400mcg since a month before ivf and advised to take until completion of 3rd month.

[Sunshine09 in reply to Rubinaa]

Yip my amount does seem high, will contact my clinic here this morning see what they say. X

[Rubinaa in reply to Sunshine09]

Yep definitely do that. X

400ug but I know in some circumstances people take 5mg. I think it may give some of the reasons on NHS choices website xx

[Sunshine09 in reply to Hidden]

Yip will get it today, didn't even notice it, hope it hasn't effected anything 🤞💗💙👣🌈 thankyou

[Gemgemsxx in reply to Hidden]

You take 5mg to reduce the likelihood of a neural tube defect. Some medications increase the risk.

Thankyou xx

[Fredaflintstone]

I’m sure it hasn’t but worth checking today and if that’s what you need to take xxx

I’ve been doing the same having 400ug in the morning but still taking pregnancy vitamins at lunch time. The recommendation is 400ug so try not to panic to much xx
