Pre-Conception Meeting with Doctor Necessary?

[happy9months]

My husband has been nagging me to make an appt with the doctor to talk about conceiving. I told him that he is just going to tell me to take folic acid and take my blood test to see if I am anemic.

I don't want to schedule anything with the doctor till I am at least 8 weeks pregnant.

I'm already taking my Pre-Natals.

Did any of you ladies go for a pre-conception meeting with the doctor?

its a good idea to go because they dont just test you for anemia. they also test for thyroid issues and anything related to diabetes, as well as for any kind of underlying infections that you might not know you have. its also a good idea to see your GYN for a physical just in case there is something going on there you dont know about as well. you could save yourself months of trying/heartbreak if you go ahead and get pretesting just in case something is wrong. if nothing is wrong you are no worse off than you are now.
