epcos: evening primrose and follic acid

[tallyho]

hi

i have been ttc for 18 months, and have recently been told that i have pcos (i suspected as since coming off cp i had strange chages to my body). i am awaiting an appointment with a specialist and was told this will take 12 weeks in mean time i have started to take 500g evening prirose twice a day. is it possible to take follic acid at same time? also if i do conceive should i immediately stop taking evening primrose when i find out? currently my periods are every 2 months so i may be taking it a little while pregnant (if i concieve) by accident. any advice would be great, thanks

Yes you can take folic acid at the same time. You need to be taking folic acid for approx 3 months prior to conception and for the entire first trimester. I am not sure if you stop the EPO as soon as pregnancy occurs, don't know much about it. Good Luck!
