A member asked:

Lost pregnancy due to folic acid deficiency last year.planning to conceive in september.my hb % is 11.8 now.any diet tips and can i use multivitamins?

More questions...: When you say you had a folic acid deficiency, how was that determined? Have you been checked for the MTHFR genetics to determine if you are able to utilize folate normally? This is a common genetic mutation. The answer is yes, you can take a multiple vitamin, and I wonder if all the questions have been addressed.
