When to start taking prenatal vits

Question

Just wondering when it would be a good time to start taking prenatal vitamins? I'm not sure if that's something you only take while pregnant. I heard you should take folic acid while TTC. We have only been trying for one month so far. My current multivitamin has 500 mcg of folic acid.

I take them now. I've been taking them since April when we decided to TTC and then I MC and I kept taking them because they had everything I needed to recoup from the MC and also we wanted to continue to TTC.
