Hi,
My husband and I have been trying for a baby for over a year. I have been taking prenatal vitamins pretty consistently for the last 14 months. This past Jan and early Feb I got a little lax about taking them (was frustrated and discouraged about getting not pregnant) Maybe took them 3 days a week instead of 7. Well, wouldn't you know I conceived in early Feb and am now 6 weeks pregnant. I am so worried that my lapse at the critical time could be a really bad thing, especially since I am almost 39. Does anyone know whether the vitamins build up in your system and the folic acid might still have been present during those early weeks? I have been back to taking them regularly for approx 3 weeks now. Appreciate any input!
Thanks...
