[quote=Anonymous]So of course you don't NEED to do this, but if you are a planner type, find a well-regarded OB or practice and book a preconception visit.  They will do a pap and likely tell you to take prenatals, avoid high mercury fish, and live a generally healthy lifestyle while you're TTC.  I did a Counsyl test, which cost about $100 bc I don't think it was covered by my insurance, but I discovered that I'm not a carrier for any of the diseases on the list and I thought that was good to know.  They might do blood work & check your vaccines as well.  I have a cat and they tested me for resistance to whatever that disease is that you can get from cleaning litter boxes (I'm resistant, but I made DH clean it during my pregnancy anyway).  They'll answer whatever questions you have.  I thought it was worthwhile, to make sure there wasn't anything that I hadn't thought of.  Also, it sounds like you might not be an established patient anywhere yet, and you'll probably be able to get a pregnancy confirmation appointment faster if you are an established patient.  Just a thought.[/quote]
