Tests before trying to conceive
• Dental check up
• A physical exam
• A pap smear test
• Breast exam (35+ mammogram)
• Rubella titers
• Blood type and Rh – factor
• HIV
• Hepatitis
• Cystic fibrosis screening
• X-rays -done only if you sure that you are not pregnant because of the radiation exposures
• CT scans- done only if you sure that you are not pregnant because of the radiation exposures
• MRIs - done only if you sure that you are not pregnant because of the radiation exposures
• PGD – preimplantation genetic diagnosis (this is often done if you have IVF )
In this test few cells are removed for generic testing before the embryo is implanted to identify genes that may be responsible for some severe hereditary diseases. That is how the doctors select healthy embryos for implantation to avoid serous generic diseases.
It is important to discuss your medical history with your doctor prior IVF process or natural pregnancy [img][/img][img][/img]
