Folic Acid Question

I have a quick question.  (Sorry I know its somewhere I just can't remember where!)

What's a recommended dosage for folic acid? I've yet to get to the doctor for a blood test, but I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant.  I wanted to start on some folic acid or prenatal vitamins just to help the lil bean stick, (ha) but just didn't know where to start.  Should I just stick with prenatals?

Thanks!

Just buy some prenatals as they'll have enough in them. You need 800 micrograms (.8 mg is how it might look on the bottle).

The OTC ones are just as good as prescription!!! Usually less expensive. I used Sam's Club vitamins and I've also used two other kinds but I don't remember their names.

Yeah, thats what I figured.  My fiance bought me some Folic Acid tablets that are 400mcg - I just couldn't force myself to take them just yet.  Maybe I'll just find myself some prenatals tomorrow.
Thanks :)

I had found out today that my brother and his girlfriend didn't have a christmas tree for their family (a girl and two boys) and I couldn't stop crying.
My fiance went and bought them a tree and stockings.  I couldn't stop crying then.
I told him thank you..he said anything for family. ...I couldn't stop crying.

I'm..a...wreck. LOL!  Damn hormones.
