Doctor's answer:

Women should maintain a healthy body for 3 to 12 months before conception. Generally speaking, it is essential to be in a good mood and enhance nutrition. Additionally, sexual activity should be appropriately reduced to allow more high-quality sperm to be stored in the seminal vesicles. Avoid exposure to harmful substances such as insecticides, carbon dioxide, cadmium, nickel, zinc, mercury, and lead. These harmful substances often affect men, increasing the risk of spontaneous abortion in their wives.
For women, pre-pregnancy preparation is even more important. Women with diseases such as viral hepatitis or tuberculosis should undergo effective and thorough treatment before considering conception. If they have been taking birth control pills for a long time after marriage, they should wait for 6 months after stopping the pills and observe for more than 3 months after removing an intrauterine device (IUD) before attempting to conceive. The specific criteria include: good health, a stable mental state, normal menstrual periods, menstrual volume, and menstrual color/texture, as well as no inflammatory lesions in the reproductive system. During this period, it is best to use condoms for contraception. Otherwise, if pregnancy occurs due to irregular ovulation or uterine membrane damage caused by stopping birth control pills or removing an IUD, the fetus may not develop normally.
