Questions for the OBGYN

I haven't posted to any boards in a while, took a break from the whole website when I switched jobs back and January but I have a few questions that I am hoping some of you ladies can help me with. 

DH and I have been talking about TTC a lot here recently and are planning on starting somewhere between Jan and August of 2014 (I know it's a wide range but there are certain months in that time frame we will not be trying because I work in an accounting firm and having a baby between Jan-Apr is something we are trying to avoid).  Anyway, I have my yearly appointment with my OBGYN on Friday and since we will be starting TTC before I would see him again I was wondering if there are any questions I should be asking him on Friday?  This would be our first kid, so I really have no clue what to ask or if there is anything I need to ask.  

Also, I have recently started charting my daily temp and was curious if anyone else had other pointers or suggestions of what to do before we actually start TTC.  Since we are kind of limiting our window of when we want to conceive I'm trying to help it out as much as I can....yes we realize that if a baby comes between Jan-Apr and it would be a blessing and we would not be angry.  Thanks in advance for any advice!

Re: Questions for the OBGYN

  • Hi! I'm not sure how prepared you are for TTC. Have you read Taking Charge of your Fertility? I just had my visit with my OB this afternoon to prepare for our first time TTC! :) I'm meeting a new dr. on Fri in our area (since we've moved we have to switch doctors). So I asked her about medications I'm taking being okay, vitamins to take, timing intercourse (charting your cycle will help with this), foods not to eat, physical activity, and I know we asked some others that I can't remember, but if you go on thebump.com they have a pre-conception consultation question list that you can print and take with you!
