I'm a bit worried about a recent situation and need some advice. My wife and I had sex on the night of May 19th. Her menstrual cycle is about 26 days long, and her last period started on May 11th. We got concerned because we thought it might have been her fertile window, so she took an emergency contraceptive pill the next morning on May 20th. What are the chances she could still get pregnant given the timing and everything?

We're trying to have a baby and I've been taking Vitafol 5mg folic acid tablets for the past three months. Is this the right supplement to be on and when's the best time to take it each day? Also, what should I do if I accidentally skip a dose?
