Birth control pill and folic acid

I am about to get married in a month. we plan to do family planning and not having child in about 1 year after marriage. If I want to use pill method to avoid pregnancy, when should I start taking the birth control pill? Also can I take folic acid together with birth control pill just in case I get pregnant regardless of taking the birth control pill?

Hello and good afternoon.
Thank you for your question.

Based on your question, I understand that you are worried about your problem. I will try to help you.

Upon your description, you need to discuss with your doctor to get the make informed decision. Birth control pills is safe and effective, making it the best choice of contraception. In the market, there are two main kinds of birth control pills. They can be

  • progestin only pills

  • combination of progesterone and estrogen pills.

These hormones prevent ovulation during your menstrual cycle and prevent sperm from reaching the egg by thickening of your uterus lining. For combination birth control pills, you can take the conventional way or continuously. In the conventional way, you will need to take 21 active pills and 7 inactive pills or 24 active pills and 4 inactive pills. When you are taking the inactive pills (does not contain hormone), you will bleed every month.

It’s important to note that you can take prenatal vitamins(Folic acid) when you aren’t preparing for pregnancy, but they aren’t recommended for long-term use. So, taking birth control and prenatal vitamins at the same time isn’t harmful,but it isn’t something you should do for a long period, either.

Before taking any birth control pills, doctor need to know your medical history and medications taken.

Therefore, I strongly encourage you to consult a doctor for proper treatment. You can contact our doctor online for further information and treatment.

I hope this answer helps you. Thank you.
