Questions for the doctor

[SeaB117]

AF arrived today 😢. My husband and I are both over 35. We have decided to make an appointment with the doctor and see what her thoughts are. I was high risk before 35 so I am sure I will be after 35. I have thyroid issues now as well. Have any of you done a pre pregnancy doc appointment? If so what are some good questions to ask?

Hi SeaB117,

My DH and I are TTC and before we did we made an appointment with our own doctors and got blood work done for everything. Once we got an okay for everything i made an appointment with my OBGYN. I had my primary doctor send over all my doctor results to the OB, so that he/she knew my health issues that i had in the past or if i had any in the present time being. The questions i asked were:

How long for my age does it normally take a couple to conceive?
Are there certain positions you recommend when doing the deed?
What type of prenatal do you recommend for me to take?
What should I change my diet to?
What other screens or test he/she recommends?
What medications can u take while TTC and which ones not to take (including both over the counter and prescribed?

I know some may be silly or common sense questions but each doctor is different and has different recommendations. I hope this was helpful

I believe this must be rather your dr who'll be ''questioning'' you. He is the one to study your med records (your both). Then you just explain thing which have been lately happening/not happening to you. Then he'll evaluate and give you some recommedations. A good dr is more likely to want you both pass some additional tests. If you trust your specialist you'll get answers regardless of the list of questions you have or not. Wish you good luck!
