too much folic acid?

 i just realized my b12 which i've been taking for 9 months has 400mcgs of folic acid. never realized that. so i guess i've had it in my system all this time. 

a couple weeks ago i started taking a prenatal with 400mcgs of folic acid and  switched to a gentle iron which just so happens to have 400mcgs of folic acid. i also started taking some calcium.

so while i'm a little excited that maybe i can start trying a little earlier than planned, i'm concerned maybe i'm taking too much folic acid. is this a problem?

aslo is it selfish of me to wanna get pregnant before i lose all the weight? i'm almost at 90lbs weight loss. and i wanted to be at 100lbs weight loss b4 i start trying. thats not even my initial goal. but i keep lowering the bar because i just want a baby so bad already. i'm so eager that i want to start trying already. don't even want to wait till august or the 100lb mark. am i being selfish? is this gonna hurt me to not lose the weight first?

All I ever hear is that you can't have too much folic acid! Vit A was the one I was told not to over do.

I don't think it's selfish! I was not at goal, but I was stable for a long time before trying.

Good luck!

 thanks for the feedback! much appreciated! 

i think i'm pretty stable. i'm lucky if i lose .5lb a week.

and thank you so much. i feel like i'm a failure or letting others down by not getting to goal first. but i'm sure everyone here can relate to how much i want a baby.

I don't believe that you will be letting others down! They are not in charge of your body! If you're comfortable and ready, go for it! I Only person to please or anything like that is you! Don't let anyone make you feel bad for wanting to get your family started! I don't remember how far out from surgery you are, but I totally agree with at least a year out! Preferably 15-18 months!

 well i was trying to wait till august because i will be 1 yr out by then.  but i've heard of a lot of people who got pregnant before that and were ok. ideally i would have waited a year or more. but i swear its gotten to the point where i can't wait anymore. my biological clock is pounding in my ears.

I wasn't trying, but it happened anyway.  I've lost 102 pounds and bam!  I thought I was leaking or worse...but when I went to the doctor she laughed at me and said I was pregnant.  I thought she was lying!  So good luck! 

hi,

My Doctor prescribes me 5 mg of folic acid a day. So more the 5 times what you are taking. You will be fine.

 thanks!

No such thing as too much folic acid when pregnant or TTC.
Wy are you taking B12, though? Do you absorb it differently like a RNY patient (not familiar with that). If not, there should be a ton of B12 in your regular multi.

 my doc has had me on b12 since surgery. the pill i take has 1,000mcg and the prenatal only has 5mcg. my old multi had 15mcg.
