Folic acid amount

Hi all,

Sorry, I believe this question has been asked multiple times.

But can I know the amount of folic acid to intake to while PLANNING to get pregnant?

Many places recommend 400micrograms (denoted by mcg or ug) but forums I've read mentioned some gynaes prescribe 5mg (milligrams which is 1000micrograms) So I am not sure if the units are stated right, or some are confused, or they really intake that amount of folic acid.

Any advice?

Thank you! :)
