Hi
I was just wondering when should you start taking folic acid again? I want to ideally start trying in March or when ever I’ve had my second cycle.
My EP was on the 2nd December 2013 I had surgery kept both my tubes and i was not treated with Methotrexate.
Is it usual for my boobs to hurt as much they do they been sore for two weeks now I thought my period might be coming but no sigh yet…
Thanks for reading xxx
Hi Daffodils,
As you weren’t treated with methotrexate, you are ok to start taking folic acid as soon as you like between now and March (for anyone reading this message, folic acid interferes with treatment by methotrexate).
A study involving more than 18,000 women showed multivitamins - particularly folic acid - improve a woman’s fertility. Those taking a supplement regularly had a 40% lower risk of suffering problems producing eggs. Long known to safeguard the health of the unborn baby, this study was the first time folic acid, a form of vitamin B, had been shown to aid conception too.
Sadly, it is not uncommon for your boobs to still be hurting at this point having had an ectopic pregnancy as it takes time for your beta hCG levels to return to normal.
Best wishes,
