Frequently Asked Questions
When should I schedule a preconception appointment?
Ideally 3-6 months before you plan to attempt pregnancy. This allows time to complete testing, address any health issues, and implement recommended lifestyle changes.
What tests are typically done during preconception counseling?
We assess your health history, perform a physical exam, review medications, check vaccination status, and may order blood work including carrier screening, infectious disease screening, and metabolic panels.
Do you provide genetic counseling and testing?
Yes, we discuss genetic screening options appropriate for your ethnicity, family history, and risk factors. We can order carrier screening tests and refer to genetic counselors for detailed consultation if needed.
What if we've been trying to conceive unsuccessfully?
After a year of unprotected intercourse (or 6 months if you're over 35), we evaluate for fertility factors and refer to reproductive endocrinology specialists if indicated.
