How To Regulate Menstrual Cycles?

hello doctor, I want to consult you regarding two things: 1. I am 28 years old and married 3 months ago. From April 13th TO 17th my period was regular and since then my period for the Month of May and June was irregular.,thou i thought it was miscarriage because of the signs i had that month. We are also planning for our first baby, so i am little worried what to do to regulate my cycles properly. 2. Secondly, i have heard that we should take folic acid (400mcg) while Trying to conceive. So, can i take 400mcg of 1 tablet of Folic acid daily from now. Please suggest me about both the above points. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you can take folic acid tablets, no harm in it.
Dose is 5 mg folic acid tablet once a day for entire pregnancy.
For your menstrual irregularities, possibility of hormonal imbalance as a cause is more likely.
So consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination and hormone levels.
If hormonal imbalance is there then you will need hormone pills according to the imbalance.
These pills will regulate and normalize your hormones and then you will be able to concive.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult gynecologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
