Will consumption of folic acid and evening primrose oil increase your chance to get pregnant?

Question

I have been trying to conceive for 3 yrs. I have also been to fertility centre with 2 failed IUI cycles. One of my friend suggested me to consistantly taking EPO and FA as well as drink anmum (for maternal powder milk) if I want to get pregnant naturally. I am a bit skeptical after all I have been through (like taking clomid 4 times and laparoscopy operation, 2 IUI, acupunture and herbalist with no succes story). Anyone with succes story with those pills? Or any other suggestion for me to get pregnant naturally?

Answer 1

I am wondering if the friend that suggested these things has any idea what she is talking about

I did about 4-5 clomid cycles and about 4 cycles of ovulation induction (similar to IUI but with intercourse no injection of the sperm)

none of it worked for me either but then i just fell pregnant naturally - i am now 12 weeks

i was not doing anything differently - i had always been taking folic acid. i think relax and do not think about it - we went on an interstate trip and partied hard the weekend i believe i conceived - it was a fabulous weekend away with 2 other couples and it will stay with me forever now..........

good luck - you will get there

Answer 2

Folic acid only helps prevent the chances of the baby having a hole in it's spine. I don't know about the combo or the other.

Answer 3

i have heard that it is advisable to take folic acid 3 months before ttc because it reduces defects in the baby.but i have never heard that it might actually help in conceiving.

Answer 4

take folic acid when trying to conceive and having sex when you are having a period is another good time to get pregnant good luck

Answer 5
