Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The symptoms of your wife are non specific. These can be due to pregnancy or due to impending periods or due to a gastric upset. Usually after the periods date, the pregnancy test comes positive in 5-7 days. In your case since the due date of periods was 28th March, your wife should test for pregnancy after 2nd April.
She can continue taking folic acid - Fol MD capsules till then.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
