Re: doctors and ttc

  • i met with my OB a few months before i wanted to ttc the first time - she went over a few things, told me when to stop bc and suggested over the counter prenatals.

    Definitely bring it up, and make sure to get updates to any of your vaccinations that are out of date before you are ttc.  There are some vaccinations that are dangerous to get once you are pg, so you'll want to make sure you're all up to date ahead of time. 

    Also, you should start prenatal vitamins at least a month before you start ttc to build up folic acid levels.

  • My PCP (she's my DH's too) is my lady Dr as well. She straight up asked me if we were planning on having kids, and if so, when. I told her we were thinking of starting to seriously ttc in the fall/spring and she just told me if I had any questions to let her know and she wished us luck. So far no luck, but I'm optimistic :)

  • The updated Tetanus shot with the whopping cough vaccines in it.  Is important to get or they will give it to you later in PG. Unless you have a current Tetanus shot then they can't give it to you.

  • she told me to start taking prenatals while we ttc to build up folic acid. they told me the "every other day" method worked best. but i found that when we "didn't try as hard" we got pregnant. 

     

    good luck!

    Hello. I've waited here for you. Everlong<3<br>
  • Since my kid was a surprise, I didn't get to ask.  But I do know that they do all of these above.
