5mg folic acid

Hi ladies...

So we have been trying to convince for 14months now with still no luck. In January we went to the doctor who has done us a referral to a fertility and reproductive clinic.

My partner has had his sperm count checked and all is fine on that front, I have had blood work done and all seems to be ok there too. Our next step is to have scans done but still waiting on appointments to come through.

At our first appointment with the doctor she put me on 5mg of folic acid. I have been taking it for nearly 2months now and not really had any side effects other than my cycle has gone from 26day to 31/32days. Having said that I'm not to worried as I ovulate late.

I decided to do some research online and almost everything I've read about trying to conceive has said not to take no more than 1mg of folic aicd per day. This has slightly worried me! Is anyone/has anyone been taking a high dosage before? Is it really ok?

Anyone's advice or input would be great

Thank you in advance and baby dust to you all 🌌
