IF you were taking it and this has just started, I am skeptical as to whether this is the folic or not. I have had really loose stools with a couple of my pg and I think pregnancy causes it for some people.

I wish! I take 1000mcg FA am and pm, still constipated as usual.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)

That's odd because this is the first pregnancy in which I've had loose stools! Not that I'm complaining as constipation is just one more pregnancy ailment I can do without. But it would be interesting to know whether it was due to the pregnancy or something in the multivitamins I'm taking. Also taking extra iron supplements due to anemia. I'm quite curious, myself.
Why are you taking so much folic acid btw? I'm pregnant with twins and midwife told me not to double the dose of my multivitamins and consultant said nothing about taking extra folic acid. Am I missing something?
