Folic acid is the one supplement doctors recommend starting before conception, since it lowers the risk of certain birth defects in early pregnancy.
Next Steps
Book a preconception checkup so your doctor can confirm the right dose for you and check if you need anything else. Please don't start other supplements on your own before that visit.
