I'm planning to get pregnant and my gynecologist advised me to start taking folic acid tablets for two months beforehand. I'm curious about the difference between Folsafe L and Folvite. I'm also concerned because my husband and I are cousins. Which of these tablets would be more suitable for me?

Since its a consanguineous marriage, there may arise some problems with the child so you have to be very careful.Anyways, you can take any of the two because both are essentially the same. Not an issue which you choose.

I'm kind of worried because I had unprotected intercourse a while back, but I've had two periods since then. Does having my periods mean that there's no chance of being pregnant, or should I still be concerned?

After being intimate you got your period tha says there is no chance of you becoming pregnant this time
