Brief Answer:
Need few more details please.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
3 weeks is too short a period to be trying to conceive.
You need to remain sexually active around your fertile days for atleast one year, before some problem is suspected.
Most women need around 3 - 6 months to conceive.
Folic acid supplements are essential to be taken around the time of planning for a baby ( Folvite 5 mg per day once ).
You also need to provide a few more details -
1. WHat is your height and weight ?
2. Have you been using contraception earlier ?
3. When was your last menstrual period ?
4. Are your cycles regular ?
5. Are you aware of fertile days / ovulatory period ?
looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.
