Nope. Folic acid just helps prevent neural tube defects in the first few weeks of a growing embryo's life. It has nothing to do with fertility, however you should start taking at least 400mcg of folic acid per day as soon as you even start thinking about trying to become pregnant. Your body can't maintain levels of folic acid innately, so you have to take some every day to be sure your baby gets enough.
