What I Wish I Would Have Known Before Trying To Get Pregnant
Update: 2024-10-16
Description
Our medical system recommends pap smears as preventative screenings but when a woman wants to have a baby, the medical approach is "Give it a whirl. We'll see what happens."
Fertility testing usually isn't done proactively or preventatively. Too often testing is only done once a woman has had multiple miscarriages or prolonged infertility.
But what if we took proactive steps to advocate for our health and did some simple tests before getting pregnant or experiencing fertility issues?
