Waiting to try:Any tests before trying?

2004-08-30

Name: Zena hi,
I am 28 yrs old and my hubby is 31. I have regular cycles and we have been married for 3 1/2 yrs now and want to try for a baby after 6 months. I am worried that I might take a long time to conceive after reading the articles on various messgae boards.
Can anyone tell me if I should get myself checked before trying to conceive or only do so after trying for 6 months. Are there any such tests that can be done before trying to conceive?
Thanks.

Hi...

Hi Zena,
There r no specific tests before trying to conceive. Just go to your gyno before trying and if u r undergoing pap smear every year and if it is due before trying, go for that. The doc actaully asks us to take folic acids(400mcg) before trying. Ask ur doc about that. It is necessary to start taking folic acid before trying, inorder to avoid some birth defects.
Another thing is if u r going to try please avoid stress. This is for both of u. Stress plays a major part in trying. One thing is for sure, if u r stressed out it will delay ur entire process. Other than that if both of u r healthy it will not take a long time. Generally they say that there r only 20% chance to get pregnant, each month for healthy couples.
If u r taking any birth control pills go to ur doc and ask her when to stop.
Eat healthy and stay fit.
BTW all the four us are in the same age group and we also got married 3 1/2 years back. we r also trying for a baby.
MY best wishes to you and ur husband.
