Folic acid

Folic Acid is not a hormone. It is part of the Vitamine B family. Taking folic acid helps prevent birthing deficiencies. It will not help you increase your chances of being pregnant but it is really important to take it before being pregnant. Hope this helps ! Good luck !

Folic acid is very important to take before you conceive for your own health. 

I'm no doctor or nurse, but I was told to take prenatals a month before TTC, mostly for the folic acid, as it's needed for the fetus' development. I tried to take it every day but missed a few days sporadically. I missed two days of my BC, took the last week, and got off of it permanently. I had my period 4 days and found out yesterday I was pregnant. Not sure if this was due to folic acid, but I was married previously and tried for 11 years without success. This time I've only been married 1.5 months and got pregnant right away. Many different factors, but taking a prenatal won't hurt. 

I took folic acid for a year before we started TTC. I also took evening primrose oil and a prenatal vitamin. I got pregnant my first month off BC.
