Folic Acid

Been TTC for past 2 and half years and used Pregnacare Conception but I picked up just an OTC Folic Acid from Boots this time as have lost all faith that even helps to be honest! Been taking it from the point of ovulation and now I am 5 days late, when usually I am every 28 days cycle... Is this caused by the Folic Acid supplement or should I dare take a pregnancy test?!!

I've never heard of folic acid causing delays in cycles... test!!!

Take a test!
Folic acid isn’t to help with conception or your cycle, but to help the baby not develop a neural tube defect

Also, you shouldn't just take it from ovulation, any woman TTC should start taking it every day

No, you’re probably just pregnant! Go piss on a stick, woman!

I have been taking it as a supplement for 2 and half years. It just happened that the old one ran out and I started taking it in just as folic acid around ovulation...
