pre-natal vitamins & folic acid pills

My husband and I are TTC and I have been taking a pre-natal vitamin since I stopped taking the BC pills at the end of Jan.  Is a pre-natal vitamin enough or should I also take folic acid too.  I tried looking for the folic acid pills by themselves and I can't find them.  The pre-natal vitamins have 800mg in them already.  Hopefully someone can get back to me and keep on send the baby dust my way.  Thanks.

I take a baby asprin and just a normal prenatal plus vitamin.  However my doctor wants to put me on extra folic acid only due to my age and this will be my first child.

My Dr. said that for the majority of us that is just fine.  It's all I take.  Good luck to you!!
