A member asked:

Is it good to use folic acid while i'm trying to conceive? and what other things can help me to get pregnant quicker?

Dr. Liza Kunz answered

Yes: Folic acid won't help you conceive quicker, but it will reduce the chance of significant birth defects when you do get pregnant. 800 mcg daily is my typical recommendation to patients thinking about pregnancy.
