Is 6mg of folic acid too much?

Question

Doc has prescribed me 5mg of folic acid before I started IVF and I take about 0.8mg separately with my b-complex. Now pregnant and still taking the same amount. Is it too much and does it really cause autism in babies? Im now 5 weeks and a little worried and Google is not helping :(#1stimemom #pleasehelp

honestly speaking, birth defects are worse than having autism. folic acid is supposed to help the growth and deter Spina bifida and autism is usually due to genetics (genetics not = hereditary, don't be mistaken). if you're worried, suggest to ring up your gynae and seek for professional advice.
