Brief Answer:
Yes, Folic Acid Supplement is required.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

1) In general, you should take folic acid and multivitamin supplements for at least 3 months before and after conception.

2) You can try to get pregnant during your fertile period (D 12 to D 18) if your menstrual cycle is regular. No other medicines are required without investigation.

Hope I have answered your query. Good luck.

Regards,
Dr. S. Patra
