Question

Answer 1

Yes, you probably have taken it too early.  Wait to see if you get your period.  There is no harm in taking the folic acid.  People who are trying to get pregnant, but are not yet, take it all the time.  It can help reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers.  

Answer 2

you may have taken the test to early, no harm taking the folic acid it helps your baby's spine develop correctly and I was taking it for about 12 months while i was TTC....

Answer 4

YES! YES ! YES!  Take that folic acid future mama!  Its awesome for that future baby.  Its a great preventative against neural tube defects,  And you can never take it toon soon!  I was taking it long before I found out I was pregnant.  

Answer 5

It was too early to test.  You'll have to wait and see if your period is late to test.    As for the folic acid it is still a good idea to take it.
