And you cannot buy it in that dosage.
So yes people do take it before getting pg but not at that dosage.
Any links to info on taking it at that dosage for the things you mentioned? Would be interesting to find out more.browneyedbazzi wrote: »You may only know one reason but that doesn't mean that there aren't others and as I said jumping to the 'she's had miscarriages and she's pregnant again and afraid' conclusion without full information isn't helpful.

In Canada (where I am from) women who meet particular criteria are given the higher dose for up to three months prior to trying to conceive as well...I'm not familiar with the NICE guidelines on this though so don't know if it happens here as well.

The 5mg dosage is prescribed in the UK for reasons other than miscarriage, I'm on a 5mg dosage and am 31 weeks now, it's to help with neural defects in my case. It can also be prescribed to people on anti-epileptics, diabetes, patients with a high bmi and a few other things.You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
