Friendly reminder: seek help from those who want to see you actually get pregnant

Your preconception visit should be MORE than just “take a prenatal and try for a year.” π
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what most women hear when they walk into their doctor’s office.
π No real plan.
π No deeper testing.
π No actual strategy to optimize fertility.
This advice is way too basic. π€¦βοΈ And ironically, while you’re told to stop taking certain supplements because they’re “not FDA-approved”… guess what? Prenatal vitamins aren’t either!
π₯ If you want to make your preconception visit WORTH IT, here’s what to do:
βοΈ Get basic labs done (these are often covered by insurance!)
βοΈ Bring at least 3 months of cycle logs π
βοΈ Ask about your PARTNER’S fertility (because 50% of infertility cases are male factor!)
π‘ Your doctor’s advice is just ONE piece of the puzzle. If they dismiss your concerns, it might be time to find a provider who actually takes fertility seriously.
