Yes Doctor, Can ferrous sulphate and folic acid tablets prevent conception?I have discovered that my wife secretely takes these tables. When we married in 1999, she had first degree barenness, which was treated through laproscopy. After conceiving 2 girls in 2003 and 2005 respectively, she has never conceived and yet I needed to add one more child. I have always suspected her of secretely taking aprescriptions. Now I have found these tablets in the room and yet no one is anaemic.
Hi, Ferrous sulfate & Folic acid tablets are to treat anemia. Folic acid has an effect of preventing certain spinal abnormalities in fetus.  Therefore, you can say, your wife is getting ready for next pregnancy!  If she did not conceive n last 8 years, I would suggest - * get her checked by an expert Gynecologist. Few investigations like CBC, Blood glucose, ovulation study USG pelvis help to find out the cause & treat it.  * You also need a thorough checkup. Routine investigations (those she has undergone) & semen analysis.  *The failure to conceive can be due to problems of husband & wife. Please understand start investigating.  Wish you both all the best.  Thanks. .
