Gastric reflux
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Burning in the upper stomach is likely due to gastric acid reflux. It is common in the second half of the menstrual cycle due to the effect of the progesterone hormone (which is increased in the second half of the cycle) on the lower esophagus (food pipe). It is the common cause of upper gastric burning and pain.
Chances of conception are 20-25 % in each cycle, so usually a couple is investigated for infertility only after one year of successful unprotected intercourse.
You both should follow fertile period, which is from day 8-day 22 of the cycle,and have intercourse every alternate day in this period to maximise chances of conception.
You should take folic acid 5 mg tablet a day, as taking it preconceptionally reduces the chances of congenital anomalies in the baby.
Your husband can take capsules containing coenzyme Q to improvise sperm motility and hence increase the chances of conception.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Hi dear,
Folic acid comes in various brands like folvite, folgel, biopreg-F. You can take any one of them.
Coenzyme Q comes in the brand name of Co-Q forte, Bio-Q-Forte etc. One of them can be taken.
Acid reflux is a symptom in pregnancy, but it usually occurs only after few weeks of pregnancy, around 6-7 weeks.
