My husband and I have been ttc since
september. I am so frustrated. My period
just now came back without the help of
provera. I have been taking 0.4
micrograms (400 mg) of folic acid every
day for about a month now. Has anyone
else taken folic acid to aid in fertility?
Does it work??

I haven't taken folic acid to get pregnant
but if you're trying to get pregnant, you
should be taking it anyway.

I take 800mg a day (that's the amount in
my prenatal vitamins). I don't think
they aid in getting pregnant, but I do
know that they really do decrease the risk
for birth defects.

Hey, i've been trying to conceive for over
a year now and still no luck. My last
doctors appointment was last month and she
said that if I was to take folic acid that
my chances of conceiving would be higher
and having a healthy baby would be almost
definite. It's been two weeks now and I
know thats not long enough to know
anything but if you like you can e-mail me
back (sexiebre@yahoo.Com) and keep me
updated on how it works for you. Good
luck!!!!! :wink:

Well... Posted: 02-16-06 22:13pm
I'm still not pregnant! I kinda gave up
for about a month and a half but I decided
to get serious about it again. I was just
getting so discouraged. I'm about to
start taking prenatal vitamins tomorrow.
My doc said I should take them before
conceiving anyway. If that doesn't work,
i'll just go to my ob doc again and see
what she can do! Wish me luck! I need
it!
