I was taking 5mg of folic acid per day when I was trying to conceive. Now that I am pregnant, should I continue with 5mg or decrease the dosage?

It is common to decrease the dosage of folic acid to 1mg or 0.4mg per day once you are pregnant. However, in some cases, such as after fertility treatments, it may be necessary to continue taking 5mg. It is best to consult with your healthcare team to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific situation.
