You can take any multivitamin which has folic acid of atleast 400mcg included in it.The one my doctor recommended me to have is becadexamine, this includes folic acid in the required quantity also. Folic acid tablets of 5mg are commonly available, brands such as folvite etc are prescribed pre-pregnancy. You have to take one tablet a day. You don't have to take both if you don't want to, any one would also be enough. Pratheeksha replied. I do not see a chance of you having conceived in the previous cycle. Just because your period was late this time, you don't have to worry, there is nothing wrong and it is common occurence to see variations in your cycles once in a while. There are ample reasons for your period to get delayed, stress or even over-exertion or worry can cause this. It is normal to hav to try upto 6mnths to 1year to conceive because with every cycle there is only 25% chance of conceiving. You would have to visit a doctor only if there are no results even after a year of trying. Also, try to keep track of your fertile period and have intercourse around the time of ovulation for best results. It should be enough to have intercourse every alternate day so you don't tire yourself and enjoy it.
My suggestion would be not to try too hard, as this makes it even tougher and you will be stressing yourself out.Just take it easy and you will see things happen quicker. Folic acid doesn't help in becoming pregnant, it is however recommended for your baby to be healthy and free from any spine defects when born. You can get it from any medical store. Have a regular diet including all the food groups and take a multi-vitamin tablet if possible so that you are not short of nutrients when you conceive. Just don't worry, keep your hopes up and do your part well. smily replied. hai,
dont worry,
since ur period is delayed,it may not be pregnency,but ur period is late by 10 days, in some cases implanting of fertilised egg causes some bleeding for some people ,now u can observe that ur bledding is as normal as ur periods or it is only for 1 day or 2 days. if it losts for less days u can think that u have a pregnency,but by seeing that we cannot say,but just u take rest (thinking that u r pregnent)and dont do heavy works.eat healthy food .
i wish u lots of baby dust on u.
Pratheeksha replied. Missing a period is one of the most reliable signs of pregnancy. Since your period is off by more than 4 days, you should know if you are pregnant if you take a pregnancy test now. Try a home-pregnancy test which is available in most medical stores, these are said to work even a day after your period is due.

I'd say, get this done at the earliest so that you can be at peace, you'll know either way for sure by that. You can also get a blood test done which is sure to give you the actual state of things. All the best.
