Is Folic Acid Supplement Advisable While Planning For Pregnancy?

Hi, I'm veni. I got married in aug 2013. After two years I conceived and ended up in miscarriage at 3 month. After that we are trying but no results. For six months we are taking treatment. They prescribed siphene and alivher but I'm not conceiving till now. Again I got periods. Can you please suggest me. Is folic acid better before trying?

Thank you

Hi I think you should go for evaluation first. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of infertility. You can try ovulation induction with timed intercourse for conceiving for 3 to 6 cycles. Folic acid is good to take while planning for pregnancy. But it will not help you in getting pregnant. Also get a semen analysis done for your husband. Hope it helps.
