Hey, folic acid does not help you conceive, It helps your body develop a healthy foetus and significantly reduces the risk of the baby getting spina bifida and other neural tube defect conditions. It's very important to take it while you are trying to conceive and for the first 12 weeks while the baby's spine is developing.

WSS! If there is a chance u could get pregnant, I.e, not trying, not preventing you should take it in my opinion - I bought some today, only 2 quid or something for a 6 month supply x
