Assalamualaikum and Hello!
When i go to a wedding i would normally bumped into friends who just got married for few months and they would normally ask me about pregnancy as i am pregnant! when i asked them whether they are planning to not get pregnant soon or they want to get pregnant, most of them would answer they want to get pregnant soon! then i asked them whether they are already taking acid folic, then this is the answer i have already gotten from few of my friends "Nope. Biar la kalao ada rezeki pregnant la, kalao tak ada tak apa la. Malas nak makan supplement apa-apa". Well friends, this statement shows that you think acid folic is a supplement that helps you to get pregnant when it is not that actually! Mmg sebelum i got married, my cousin told me, kalau nak cepat pregnant makan acid folic. That's when i started to do deep research on acid folic :D
Acid folic is actually a B9 vitamin which it occurs naturally as folate in pulses, green vege, some fruits and yeast and beef extracts. If you are not a fan of these food then acid folic pills are something you should greatly consider. If you normally consume these food, its ok to still take acid folic pills since just like vitamin C, excessive intake would just be released by or with your urine. It won't stay in your liver like other medications.
I like to read Dr. Zubaidi's blog because he wrote with studied facts and references and its based on Malaysian research. You may read on acid folic here: http://drzubaidi.com/blog/?p=1902 and http://drzubaidi.com/blog/?p=1038
Acid folic is not a supplement that will help you to get pregnant or solve your infertility problem. At least its not proven to be that way. As what i understand from my reading and from my gynecologist, it helps strengthen the DNA and chromosom in your ovum and sperm. If this ovum and sperm is meant to be developed to be your child, it would be a good one Insyaallah. Less risk in carrying baby with defects such as neural tube defects (NTD).
Therefore, it you are 3 months away to get married or are already married and NOT planning NOT to get pregnant, you should take acid folic pills (Both Husband & Wife!). 400 microgram should be enough (Husband can take 2 pills). I took 400 microgram from Appeton which you can get from any pharmacy such as vitacare. I think it only cost me rm20+ for a month stock (rsnya la. tak ingat). 1 tablet 1 day. It is really small. Sometimes i can just swallow it without any water. If you want to buy from any clinic i think it is 5 miligram because they usually prescribe to already pregnant woman who would need a higher dose especially from the moment you knew you are pregnant and up until 12 weeks.
So to future and already husbands and wives, take good care of your ovum and sperms and may it be the best of the best to be your child Insyaallah! haha! My mom punya advice: solat jangan tinggal, bykkan doa, sedekah, puasa including puasa komen-komen pasal manusia lain..hehe. Jgn stress-stress bila try-try belom ada rezeki, percayalah Allah Maha Mengetahui whats best and when is the best time.
That 'I' & 'Me',
Hayfa
