    I never heard anything like that.
    When you are pregnant you need more folic acid though

    How do I use a home pregnancy test?

    No, the folic acid did not affect it. You are most likely pregnant. Every woman of child bearing years should take folic acid daily to prevent neural tube defects should a woman become pregnant and not know it.

    It is refreshing to see that you are taking folic acid and VB prior to becoming pregnant. Good for you!! Now, make a doctor's appointment Monday morning for a prenatal screening to include bloodwork. Looks like congrats are in order.
