Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Pregnacare and ovacare are multivitamins and multimineral suppliments. If a woman has a deficiency of these vital nutrients it may affect her fertility. So these tablets are prescribed with the presumption that they may improve the chances of pregnancy. They do not have a central role in increasing the chances of pregnancy.
How long have you been married? What is your BMI? It is important that you and your husband should see a gynecologist and do baseline infertility work up (hormone test and fallopian tube patency test for you and semen analysis for your husband). Based on the results of investigations treatment can be planned. Take 1 tablet of folic acid daily. To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking (if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least 3 times in a week.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ramadevi Wani
