Pregnancy planning

I am 29 Years old, Female. I’m planning to start trying for pregnancy from October and this would be my first pregnancy. My menstrual cycles are usually regular, around 29–32 days, and I don’t have any significant medical history. I’m confused about the different folic acid doses available, such as 400 micrograms and 5 mg. Which dose would be appropriate for me, and when should I start taking it and at what time of day? I have also gained some weight recently, have borderline cholesterol, and my vitamin D level is low. Should I take vitamin D or any other supplements before trying to conceive, and do I need to correct the vitamin D deficiency first? Could you also advise whether I need any other preconception blood tests or supplements before we start trying?

Hello! My doctor prescribed Faa20 tablet which is Iron,Zinc& B12tablet when I was pregnant which happened to be a miscarriage later on.

Can I use this daily one tablet for a month and switch to folic acid after 1 month? When is the right time to take this tablet?

Irregular periods and missed period

I am 20 years old. My normal period started on 16 August. Then, only 10 days later, on 26 August, I started bleeding again. The bleeding was quite heavy for nearly the entire 7 days, and I am unsure whether it was a second period or abnormal bleeding. I have had no sexual intercourse since/before this, so pregnancy is not a possibility. I am not on birth control. It is now 27 September and I have not had another period. I have recently made some changes to my diet and exercise routine and my weight is around 61–62 kg. I take one calcium + vitamin tablet and a separate magnesium tablet. Could this be due to hormonal changes, and do I need any tests?
