FOLIC ACID IS NOT A FERTILITY SUPPLEMENT

Folic acid is one of the most common medications taken by women hoping to conceive, but it is not a fertility supplement. Its main role is to support red blood cell formation in the mother and to help prevent brain and spinal cord defects in the baby.

 

Women who are trying to conceive should understand that folic acid alone does not correct hormonal problems, trigger ovulation, improve overall fertility, or unblock fallopian tubes.

 

It is important to consult a professional and undergo the appropriate tests—such as AMH, FSH, LH, progesterone, and estradiol—so that the right treatment plan can be created for you. Folic acid can then be added as part of your overall pre-conception care.
