Preconception visits: we'll discuss your overall health, medical history, medications and supplements, genetic history, nutrition, and timing of pregnancy. We'll review how to track when you are most likely to be fertile. If indicated, screening tests and lab work can be ordered. Preconception visits are available in person or by telehealth.
