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 a bit concerned because I've had to take the morning-after pill three times this month, and now I'm worried since I haven't gotten my period yet. It's been five days since I took the last pill. Is it normal for my period to be delayed because of this, or should I be worried about something else?

It is common for the menstrual cycle to be disrupted after taking emergency contraception multiple times in a month. The delay in your period could be due to the hormonal changes caused by the repeated use of ipill. However, if you are concerned about the delay in your period, you can consider taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If you continue to experience irregular periods or have concerns, it is advisable to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.
