yes thats correct. I did ask the chemist if more then 800mcg is ok also, cos if you take folic acid, the also preg vits sometimes it will take you over. And sometimes those preg vits dont have enough folic.........but apparently its ok to take both and going over by a bit with folic wont hurt you or baby]]> Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:27:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25708&PID=654904&title=full-steam-ahead#654904 <![CDATA[Full steam ahead : i am pretty sure you need 800mcg???...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25708&PID=654892&title=full-steam-ahead#654892 Author: ohanlon82

No chick you should be taking 0.8 as far as I'm aware.

Thanks everyone, I've learnt that this is just something you cannot plan for no matter how hard you try!

emz, I did think about the doctor visit and the time it would take me to go out there so I just got the folic acid from the chemist. The only thing was that it was 0.8mg and everything I've read says to take 0.4, does it make a difference?

Thanks everyone, you've all been so nice!]]> Tue, 07 Apr 2009 09:43:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25708&PID=654659&title=full-steam-ahead#654659 <![CDATA[Full steam ahead : Good luck TTC Summerlamb!

Of course im suffering from the other end of scales this time after being on Depo.......we wanted to get preg quicker and its been 15months..........basically what am saying is, dont be surprised if you get preg fast, but also dont stress if it takes longer than you think......we spend our whole lives avoiding getting preg til we are ready and then when we want to we expect to flick a switch and get one.........your going to learn a lot about the female body on this site

Folic acid is cheaper through the doc but remember you have to pay for the visit You can get the basic stuff they prescribe from the pharmacy for $10 for 3 months supply.

That is a good idea Tauris75, I've been looking around some websites this morning.

Perhaps charting and knowing when you OV can be your form of control in this situation?

Thanks both of you, I think folic acid is cheaper from the doctor so maybe I'll make an appointment.

I'm not sure what to expect re the periods, we are in no rush and had talked about coming off 6 months early but then I was told that you can be more fertile when coming off the pill. So I guess it is just a case waiting to see what happens. I'm a real planner so not being able to have control will be an issue for me I think. I hope I'll manage to be fairly relaxed about it all.

Good luck to all of you as well, I've been lurking for a long time and reading all your stories and some people really are having a tough time of it.]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:01:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25708&PID=653686&title=full-steam-ahead#653686 <![CDATA[Full steam ahead : If you dont get your period in...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25708&PID=653661&title=full-steam-ahead#653661 Author: jem

If you dont get your period in a months time try not to get to excited. It takes up to 6 months to get your first period especially if you have been on it for years. I have learnt all this from experience lol my last period was end of jan 09.
Good luck!]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:31:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25708&PID=653661&title=full-steam-ahead#653661 <![CDATA[Full steam ahead : ummm - taking folic acid... ...enjoying...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25708&PID=653658&title=full-steam-ahead#653658 Author: freckle

Well - last BCP was taken on Friday so the journey begins. We've now just got to get our heads around the fact that it might take a little while before we get our BFP, but fingers crossed it is sooner rather than later.

Anything I should be doing to prepare?]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:01:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25708&PID=653634&title=full-steam-ahead#653634
