Consumption of Folic Acid during Non-Pregnancy

cnu
My wife lost her pregnancy during her last carry. It was due to the improper formation of skull. Doc advised to abort. After one month, doc asked to take folic acid regularly. She is taking it from the last 3 months continuously. Is it ok? Can she have the folic acid (5mb) tab a day regularly? Will there be any side effects on long usage? Is it alright to take it during non-pregnancy?

There is no problems with long term use of folic acid. I presume that she is taking 5 milligrams a day. It is ok and good to take it when you are not pregnant before getting pregnant.

Having temperature about  99- 99.3C since past few days, this change temp is for about thrice a day. Having bit of swellings on face and legs, in hands too early morning, frequent urination. I sthere any chances of pregnancy? I have done home test 15 days back, but was negative.
