Folic acid is to prevent spina bifida, it's doesn't have any effect on conceiving. Congratulations on the weight loss, that's amazing especially with all the stress of lock down etc xx

Thank you I've just played around with 6lb since lock down going up and down and I have been told to take it from my Dr when trying to conceive?

You should take while you're trying to conceive and for up to 12 weeks of pregnancy to prevent spina bifida. It's recommended that you take it when you start trying to conceive so that it gives you the best chance to prevent it if you fall pregnant.

Congratulations on your weight loss πŸ€—

Folic acid is recommended when trying to conceive & up to 12 weeks in pregnancy x
