Why It Matters
Optimize Health Before Pregnancy
Preconception care identifies and manages health conditions that could impact fertility or pregnancy outcomes, improving your chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy.
Personalized Fertility Guidance
Learn about your cycle, optimal timing for conception, and strategies to enhance fertility based on your individual health profile and reproductive history.
Early Identification of Risk Factors
Blood work, STI testing and evaluation of conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis or fibroids can find issues before pregnancy, so you can make informed decisions and plan next steps.
Early Pregnancy Care and Next Steps
Preferred Gynecology limits its practice to gynecology and early pregnancy care. When you become pregnant, we can confirm the pregnancy with an in-office ultrasound and help recommend an obstetrician for your ongoing pregnancy care. We do not provide prenatal care or deliveries.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I schedule a preconception appointment?
Ideally 3-6 months before you plan to attempt pregnancy. This allows time to complete testing, address any health issues, and implement recommended lifestyle changes.
What tests are typically done during preconception counseling?
We review your health history and medications, perform a physical exam, and may order blood work, STI testing or an in-office ultrasound as indicated.
Do you provide prenatal care?
No. Preferred Gynecology limits its practice to gynecology and early pregnancy care. We can confirm your pregnancy with an in-office ultrasound and help recommend an obstetrician for your ongoing pregnancy care.
What if we've been trying to conceive unsuccessfully?
After a year of unprotected intercourse without pregnancy (or 6 months if you're over 35), it is time for an evaluation. We offer infertility evaluation and basic treatment, and we also evaluate recurrent pregnancy loss.
