Hi, How are you doing ? Folinext is Folic acid a vitamin B. You usually get this vitamin from food. But it is prescribed for pregnant women & those trying for it. It has no side effect. But by just having this tab you will not get pregnant. Keep having this medicine as you never know when you get pregnant & take it till 3rd month of pregnancy. Everyone is investigated for infertility only after 1 yr of unprotected sex. But if you are anxious, you can have the following testsHusband- Semen analysis at least 2- done 4 weeks apart preferably in an infertility center (examination done by an Chat Doctor.  So check with HSG(X-ray with dye), or SSG (Scan with dye) or Laparoscopy all this done & found normal, nothing can stop a pregnancy with Gods will Hope I have cleared your overall the best
