Does folic acid help on getting pregnant? -Thanks
AnswerHello Kim,
Your doctor was not treating your infertility. She was only treating the ovarian cyst. You need to see a fertility specialist and have testing done. 85% of women under the age of 30 get pregnant after one year of trying. Since you have not gotten pregnant in two years, it is time for you to find out why. That is the purpose of testing. The treatment is then determined based on what the tests results show.
