erm i would suggest you don’t google too much on this. 5mg dosage is very normal dosage for normal pregnancies, there’s no negative side effects from taking a higher dosage. should be more worried if folic acid is insufficient because it’s so crucial in maintaining the pregnancy and baby’s development. it’s especially even more important considering you didn’t take before conceiving. many mummies have been taking folic acid even while trying to conceive.
i think its alright. just dont skip your folic acid, especially during your first trimester. i even bought mine from unity pharmacy when i first found out i was pregnant.. and didnt have th time to go poly to get referral to KK. th doc also adv me to continue eating them (5mg too) 😊
My IVF gynae gave me 5mg too and I have been taking it since the start of my IVF.
