Can Folic Acid Intake Cause Disruption In The Menstrual Cycle?
Hello. In may I had a chemical pregnancy, then in July I had an ectopic pregnancy. When my cycle returned after that in August, it has been regular. However this month I stopped preventing pregnancy and made sure I took enough folic acid the was depleted with the methodextrate shot from my ectopic. I am now 3 days late on my period with negative pregnancy tests. Could the extra folic acid be affecting my cycle?
