Yes.: The Folic Acid in the prenatal vitamins will decrease the risk of early pregnancy failure and can actually increase your fertility to the point of multifetal gestation. Take 1-5 mg daily throughout your reproductive years! this can prevent preterm birth fetal neural tube and cardiac anomalies in up to 90% of cases.
