Should I take folic acid to increase my chances of conception?

Taking folic acid can help prevent neural tube defects, but it may not necessarily reduce the risk of miscarriage. Miscarriage should not affect your chances of conception. Factors like stress can impact conception. The risk of miscarriage is around 1 in 4 before 12 weeks, so many women unfortunately experience this. It is recommended to seek support from a psychologist if you have been affected by a miscarriage.
