[quote=Anonymous]get day 3 bloodwork to have a base line.  This can be a part of your well woman exam, just ask your ob/gyn or PCP, whoever does your annual PAP (speaking of which, your PAP and Mammogram need to be up to date, you can't start infertility treatment if either is older than 1 year).

Start a pre-natal vitamin now, and look into other supplements. If your insurance moves slow you might have a couple of months to take them before the fertility testing and treatmetn.

Do work outs several times a week.  If you're overweight (over BMI of 25) - try to drop some weight.  Eat a high protein diet with plenty of omega 3s.  Research healthy proteins and include at least one in every meal (yoghurt, nuts, lentils, beans, lean meat, NOT protein bars).  If you have any suspicions of thyroid or insulin resistance issues - get tested by an endocrinologist or PCP, it doesn't have to be through a fertility clinic.

keep very good track of your labs (electronically), request copies of results.  Write down things you read up on, it will help to talk to RE.  [/quote]
