I understand your concern Actually folic acid taken 3 months before conception helps in building good health of the couple as well as prevents fetal anomalies. So you both should have it according to your plans for conception.  Another thing I would like to suggest is. He should visit around the date of ovulation .(. Which can be determined after observation for few months.) Mostly it is about 14 days prior to expected date of menstruation.  Thanks. </s>
