instruction: hi doctor we are trying for a baby for three months I have been facing a couple of issues I feel the symptoms of periods within 18 to 20 days of my previous cycle my regular cycle was between 25 to 28 days before I was taking folvite folic acid tablet but started using iron tablets for two months please let me know what could be the cause or is this normal
output: hi welcome to icliniq com the feeling of symptoms like periods but not actually having bleeding could be due to ovulation pain what is called in medical terms is mittelschmerz pain if your cycles are ovulatory all the more good try for conception in the middle of your cycle days say in 25 28 day cycle 18 days do not worry if three months are gone give a fair trial for six months before undergoing any investigations folic acid to continue till you conceive it will prevent neural tube defects in the baby
