Are there tests that need to be carried out before conception?
Patient: hello doctor, my name is prapti, we are thinking of family planning, and I want to check my health before conceiving, can you suggest the reports to be done before that?? Please suggest the tests for that, are they painful? I am really scared about it.. for how many months before i need to consult a doc and check myself?? waiting for your reply, thanks in advance..:)  regards, Prapti Doctor: hello prapti..thanks for trusting the health care magic doctors for ur health related queries..firstly​ i want to tell you that for getting pregnancy, the tests are not necessarily required in the first year of marriage if u people r trying without using any contraception. For that u should have regular menses and age between 15-30 yr and ur husband should have normal semen analysis.the various tests are available now a days which are only done if women are not conceiving due some major or minor problems either in wife or a husband, accordingly some tests are non invasive and some required major or minor surgery.with the above discussion u can try out my suggestions-1. RELAX, relax...u can wait for first yr since ur marriage, if everything is normal as i discussed above.2. if u r still in hurry..then visit nearby gynecologist or infertility specialist. he/she can help you.good luck..regards- Dr sudha rani panagar
