800mcg folic acid

Hi. I had a miscarriage for my first pregnancy and was told by the masseuse during post natal massage to consume 800mcg folic acid. Since i have zero experience and knowing that its way over the recommended dose, im abit sceptical but at the same time really wanna start consuming it asap as im ttc. Isit safe to take 800mcg folic acid daily?

It should be safe as my gynae prescribed me 5mg folic acid and asked me take twice a day during my first trimester.
