I recently started taking Folic Acid 800mcg tablets as recommended by my doctor. I'm trying to get pregnant and I know it's crucial for preventive measures. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? I'd love to hear about your experiences, especially regarding any side effects or benefits you've noticed. I've read that it can help prevent serious birth defects, but I'm curious about other potential benefits and any downsides. Additionally, I've noticed that some people might experience side effects like rash or hives. I'm wondering how common these are and if there are any ways to mitigate them.

I recently started taking Drospirenone/eth-Est/l-mefolate 28s, and I'm really curious about other people's experiences with this birth control pill. It's unique because it contains estrogen, progestin, and folic acid, which is supposed to help reduce the risk of certain birth defects if you become pregnant shortly after stopping the pill. However, I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects, especially the more serious ones like blood clots and liver problems. Has anyone else had any issues with this medication? How does it compare to other birth control pills? I've heard mixed reviews, and I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried it.
