taking folic acid few months before
trying. Im taking it now daily too.

A good prenatal vitamin will have just the
right amount of folic acid, in addition to
other vitamins and minerals, like iron and
anti-oxidants. A prenatal is your best
bet in preparing to conceive.

It helps to make sure the baby's spinal
cord and brain develop properly.

No, not at the time. Back in november I
had to take provera to get my period
because I had just come off the pill in
september. My period is pretty regular
now. It may be late by a couple of days
every now and then... My husband is
wanting to get some ovulex and i'm all for
it. I really think it might help. It
can't hurt!

I've been on ovulex for a week now too!
Not quite sure what it's doing but I
definately feel different? I must
investigate though: should I be taking
folic acid too?
Good luck everybody. I know how important
this is to you all. I've been trying for
my baby number 2 for a year and a half
now. Xxxxx

I would say yes after hearing what
everyone said about it. I think anyone

making sure the baby is healthly after
concived.
Thats so funny how im the one asking the
question and now i'm tellin you!
Haha good luck and you too keep me posted!

Lol cogoli, I know what you mean. Still,
it's nice to know that other people out
there have almost the same questions as
you. I know what you mean about answering
questions lol. I posted quite a lot
yesterday lol.
I'll get into town and pick up some folic
acid then.
Hope all you girls are well today? Have a
great day xxxxx

Well hun, I guess that depends if you were
due your period or not? It's kinda hard
to comment without having all the facts

Folic acid is to make sure that the baby
is healthy after concived.
Mrs.Monty
I thought I was due april 17th that
came and I spotted for two days real lite.
And then what happened the other day.
And days little still nothing! I am on
metformin so I dunno maybe this is normal
until it gets in my system.
