Brief Answer:
Folic acid tablets

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply

1. Folic acid tablets offer support and protection to the baby in case you get pregnant.

2. These tablets wont alter menses in anyway meaning they dont affect menses.

3. So your early cycles are nothing to do with folic acid tablets.
