Re: Off the pill - trying for a family
**
Sunset, i am not a doctor, but i thought there was no need to use other forms of protection when coming off the pill? I would think that when your body ovulates, it means its ready to concieve. Allah knows best. Although, i do know of several people who started trying right after stopping the pill. I personally dont think there is a need but then i am not a doctor.**
Sahar, my ob/gyn prescribed extra folic acid along with my prenatals since i have had a miscarriage before. That doesnt mean the m/c was becayse of lack of folic acid but like mamaof3 said, it prevents a neural tube defect called spina bifida in children. So i guess it is good to take it as an extra precaution. It doesnt hurt to take more since i believe whatever doesnt get absorbed by your body is discharged anyways.
Hmm...interesting Ira! I had an appt with the doc last week and she confirmed that i dont need to use extra precautions but there are contradictions. Some people say to use them so you can determine the due date and now some are saying there is no need. I personally think there wouldnt be any harm in not using extra prec as when your body is ready, it will concieve inshallah.
