A discussion of health history, medicines and questions before pregnancy, with preparation tailored to individual circumstances.

Review your health history

Share health conditions, previous pregnancies and relevant family history. Discuss worries and timing, and bring earlier results. The visit identifies individual needs rather than offering the same test package to everyone.

Medicines and supplements

List prescribed and over-the-counter medicines, herbs and supplements. Planning pregnancy does not mean stopping necessary treatment yourself. Ask your team to review suitability and provide individual advice about folic acid and other preparation.

Prevention and daily habits

Vaccination history, screening needs, smoking and alcohol may be discussed. Set practical goals for diet, activity and work. The aim is support rather than blame. Share difficulties changing a habit so appropriate help can be considered.

Questions and next steps

Ask when to return if pregnancy does not occur. Age, health conditions and previous experiences may influence timing. Clarify how to complete any suggested checks. No preparation visit can guarantee pregnancy or a particular outcome.

Medicines and health before conception

Discuss regular medicines, chronic conditions, previous pregnancies, vaccines and family history before conception. Arrange safe adjustments rather than stopping medicines yourself. Folic acid needs and timing should reflect individual risk.

Irregular cycles, known tubal or sperm problems and previous treatment may affect when to seek advice. Preparation includes health goals and coordination with relevant specialists, not simply a test list.

Common questions

Should I stop medicines when planning pregnancy?

Do not stop them yourself. Review existing treatment with your clinician.

AFTER YOUR CONSULTATION

Make your plan clear.

  • Discuss the schedule for follow-up and investigations.
  • Confirm the birth facility before arrangements are final.
  • Ask about routine questions and out-of-hours contact.

Follow-up, care and return to everyday activities depend on assessment and the approach chosen. Before leaving, clarify the next step and how to contact the clinic.

This information does not replace individual medical advice. Diagnosis and treatment require clinical assessment. For emergencies in Türkiye, call 112.
