I'm planning to get pregnant soon and I'm wondering if you could recommend a good brand of folic acid tablets? Also, when's the best time of day to take them?

As a doctor, I would recommend brands like "Folvite" or "Obstetrical Folic Acid" for folic acid supplementation before pregnancy. It's ideal to take the tablet in the morning with food to enhance absorption and reduce the risk of nausea.

It sounds like you're experiencing irregular bleeding, which could be due to hormonal changes after taking the I-pill or stress. The negative pregnancy test is reassuring, but it's important to monitor your symptoms. If the bleeding persists or worsens, or if you're concerned, it's best to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Can be indicative of conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis, or endometriosis. The treatment will depend on the underlying cause. In the case of fibroids or adenomyosis, medications such as Tranexamic acid can help with heavy menstrual bleeding. For pain relief, your mother can take Ibuprofen. If the symptoms are severe and affecting her quality of life, surgery may be considered. It is important to consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
