When do I stop Minoxidil before getting pregnant?

HZora
My husband an I are planning to try to get prgnant after my next period, that is almost 2 weeks from now. I’m using minoxidil foam up until today. My questions are: 1. I have decided to stop starting today, is this safe enough? 2. I’m afraid I’ll start losing my hair. I started prenatal vitamins but is there anything else I can do to minimize hair loss?
