[quote=Anonymous]Is there any harm in taking folate (I'm thinking the Thorne prenatal that has been recommended here, it's L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate) instead of folic acid if I don't have an official MTHFR or other diagnosis that suggests my body can't do folic acid? It seems not, but since folic acid is the default in prenatals, just wanted to doublecheck. I'm also thinking of requesting metformin. I have PCO (polycystic ovaries)/high AMH, but none of the other symptoms (regular cycle, regular/thin weight) but it seems like diagnosing insulin resistance can be complicated--like just b/c you're fine on A1c, fasting glucose, etc. it could still be there). I kind of want to start taking it just to cover bases on egg health. I also had a miscarriage recently which is making me paranoid (sigh). Is there any reason NOT to push for metformin if I'm not 100% sure I need it? (besides the unpleasantness and needing to take B12?)[/quote]
