Pregnancy
What tests should I have before trying to conceive? OB/GYN in Seoul, Korea
The short answer
Recommended tests include general blood tests, rubella immunity, hepatitis and syphilis, a pelvic ultrasound to check for fibroids or cysts, a Pap smear and HPV test, and STD screening. Thyroid and blood sugar tests are often added. Start folic acid, and review medicines and vaccinations with your doctor.
See preconception checkup and the wedding WB/WC packages, which bundle most of these.
