If you are contemplating a pregnancy your doctor is probably testing you to see if you can handle a pregnancy to term. Hope this helps.

My Dr. put me on a prescription called Foltex (synthetic folic acid), and I was told that I would be on this for the rest of my life. The way he explained it to me, was that my body basically strips itself of Folic Acid, so I basically had very little, and that can lead to heart disease if it's not taken care of now.
