It is not late either. Go ahead and take one folic acid tab per day. It comes with different measurements but it doesn't matter. One tab per day, after food.

Start now because it's advised to take even before you conceive. Get it at the pharmacy if you don't have an appointment with a gynae anytime soon :)

I started taking pregnancy multivitamins which contain folic acid months before getting pregnant. I also took co-Enzymes Q10, fish oil and vitamin D.

Yep! At some point the doctor might switch you to a multivit instead, but in general folic acid will help (unless you're contraindicated).

I took mine when I was 7-8 weeks pregnant cause I didn’t know I was pregnant before. I take the black mores pregnancy gold.

You should start eating folic acid as soon as you intend to try for a baby. Best is at least 2-3 months before conceiving.

folic, or methlyfolate should be taken 3 to 6 months before conceiving actually since our eggs takes 3 months to mature.

Yes, do start now! You can get folid acid from Guardian Pharmacy if your gynae appointment is still some time away! :)
