Brief Answer:
Continue folic acid tablets

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

As of now continue folic acid tablets and ask your doctor to prescribe you progesterone tablets which will help if there is pregnancy.

Progesterone tablets like duphaston 10 mg can be taken twice a day and Susten 200 mg capsules can be inserted vaginally.

Also start ecosprin 75 mg daily.
