Preconception Checkups
Determining and Managing Rh Incompatibility
Not only are blood types different but some types of blood are incompatible with some others. The white blood cells in some types will perceive other types as enemies, attacking and destroying.
PCOS (Polyscystic Ovarian Syndrome)
PCOS also known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome is a disorder in which the ovaries are enlarged with cysts, with levels of male hormones.
Preconception Checklist
The following checks or tests may be made by your doctor before making the decision of pregnancy, in order to ensure you will have as trouble-free a term as possible and good health for the growing baby.
Fertility Testing
In 25 percent of cases, more than one factor causes infertility, and some causes are harder to detect than others. In 5 to 10 percent of cases, testing reveals no abnormalities at all; doctors characterize those patients as having unexplained infertility.
Improving Sperm
When there is more semen than sperm, getting past the cervix is clearly a problem, since most sperm is in the first few drops of ejaculate
Cervical Cap
A cervical cap is a barrier to prevent sperm from even reaching the cervix. It is a little rubber shaped "dome", that if used correctly with spermicide, can be 87% effective in preventing pregnancy. It is one of the few drug free birth control methods available for women currently on the market.
