Hi,
Folic acid is an important vitamin which along with iron is required to treat and prevent anemia secondary to abnormal menstrual bleeding. Folic acid does not regulate the menstruation or ovulation. For the production and release of eggs from the ovary your doc would prescribe drugs like clomifene and progesterone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
