A member asked:
Can taking to much folic acid stop you from getin pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What? : Folic acid (vitamin b9) is necessary to help prevent birth defects, not births. As with any vitamin you need just enough, and too much can be dangerous. Folate (folic acid) is not a birth control pill.
