Should I continue to take folic acid even if my attempts to have a child do not work?

Hello,

During the whole period of trying to get pregnant, it is recommended to take folic acid, no matter how long

In fact, the risk of overdosing on folic acid is almost nil. However, the benefit of folic acid in preventing certain malformations of the nervous system in early pregnancy is well known. Thus, it is better to continue it

Of course, if your plans have changed and you no longer wish to have a child, you could stop taking it

Hope to see you soon,
