Lybrate-User Ji, thanks for the query. Since you have hypothyroidism, it is most important to check tsh every 4 weeks during gestation period (pregnancy). Tsh should be maintained around 2 mu/l throughout the 9 months. So please get that checked. You can continue taking folic acid. The other tablet mentioned is just a combination of multiple vitamins mineral and many ingredients. There is no proof that these ingredients do any benefit. You may stop that. But please remember tsh value, to be checked every 4 weeks. Thanks.
