I got Apo Folic Acid from the pharmacy which is 800mcg. It was about $11 for 3 months (120 tablets) - if you are not seeing your doctor for anything else, this would be a good option then you don't need to pay the doctors fee

800mcg is what they recommend women TTC should have. Most tablets off the shelf only have 300mcg I think it is. Your doctor can give you a script for 3 months worth of 800mcg tablets and they will only cost $3

How much Folic Acid should one take prior to pregnancy? Looking on the web its all sorts of amounts ranging from 400mcg to 800mcg.

I have some 400mcg tablets but was sure that my doctor last time said to take about 700mcg?
