Hi I am 29 years old and a mom of two and a half old son. I am planning to conceive again but my periods have been always irregular.
When I wanted to conceive first time I was in India and My Doctor asked me to take folic acid tablets 5mg dosage once a day and glucophage metformin tab thrice a day and also letoval 2.5 mg letrozole tablets starting from day 3 of my periods til 7th day. And I have conceived in 5 months. Should I start taking it again to conceive.

Hello,

Above medications are quite helpful to get regular period with proper ovulation and facilitating chance of conception. But, you must consult with your doctor for overall check up with relevant investigation before taking these medication.

Do unprotected sex close to ovulation day (14 days prior to due date) or within fertile days for high chance. Use ovulation prediction kit to tract ovulation day in mid cycle. Take vitamin-E and folic acid supplemets for 3 months.

Good luck.
