General Health & Infectious Disease Screening
In addition to the above testing, we always recommend general health assessment blood work (such as blood count, cholesterol, and others) on the female patient. While these may not interfere with the ability to conceive, if there is an abnormality, now is the time to correct it in preparation for getting pregnant. The same is true for infectious diseases (like HIV and Hepatitis) which we test for in both the male and female patient before achieving a pregnancy.
