Hi all

I was due AF on Saturday and nothing. I am still waiting so took a test but negative. Should I take folic acid in case I am and not showing on test yet?

How likely could I be if test negative?

I took a first response test and a Boots own make so 2 tests both negative x

It is advised to start taking folic acid as soon as you start TTC, not to wait until you will get a BFP. You said you’re late – did you track your ovulation with OPK or BBT, or could it be that you ovulated later than you thought? Thing is, if you don’t track, you’ll never really know if you’re actually overdue or not. Fingers crossed for you either way!

You should have been taking folic acid whilst TTC anyway as the above poster says. It needs to build up a bit in your body.

Hi all

We aren't TTC which is why I haven't yet started taking it. We were thinking of starting to try later this year. I'll pop Boots after work and get some. Thank you all for your replies! Xx

Ah okay!
Regarding the other issue, I think if you are 4 days late and still getting negative tests, you're most likely not pregnant.
