Isn't 5 mgs a crazy amount? In the UK the reccomendation is at least 600mcg per day, but most prenatal vitamins contain 700-750mcg.

My friend previously had an anencephalic bubs and she takes 1mg a day for pregnancy (had 2 healthy bubs since then).

Fel, does your DD have symptoms? Many people don't even know they have occultta - my XP's BIL has it and has never had any symptoms other than a little hair and a dimple on his sacrum. You sound like a great mum, the way you talk about your love for her.
