To eat folic acid or start taking vitamin?

Hi Mommas, my EDD is on 18th April 2023. Currently I'm on my week 11 day 5 based on this app. I didn't know I'm pregnant until week 8 , quite late because of irregular menses since young. I saw the doctor on Sep 8. So doc gave me 1 month of Folic Acid pills. And my appointment with KKH was on 13 Sep (Week 9 by then but not sure day what). I'm currently left with 6 pills left. When I finish the 6 pills, it will be week 12 Day 4 based on the app, which means week 12 day 5-7, I have no folic acid. Do I buy 3 more folic acid pills to complete or do I start taking vitamins for trimester 2?

I met my gynae when im on my week 12 of pregnancy and the doctor told me i can stop taking folic acid and take the prenatal vitamin instead.. Folic acid is included in that prenatal vitamin together with other vitamins needed for mommy to be and baby like iron and etc.. If you are concern, maybe you can purchase small portion that last till your mext appointment.
