Is it the same as folic acid? My husband and I are also trying to conceive and no luck yet.

If you decide to see a fertility doctor after trying without success, your doctor might find out that you're not ovulating naturally or need some help in that area. He/she might then prescribe you clomid.
Folic acid, on the other hand, is a B9 vitamin. It helps prevent spina bifida and several other birth defects. You can get it without prescription and it is included in most prenatal vitamins (if not all). Doctors recommend that you start taking folic acid while you're still trying to conceive because folic acid does its job in those first few important weeks before you are even sure you're pregnant.
If you're wondering, folic acid doesn't do anything to help you be more fertile or get pregnant faster.

Folic acid is a vitamin you take that helps make the baby healthy.
Not baby making process.
Clomid is a fertility drug used for those women that don't ovulate on their own.
