For those preparing for pregnancy, it is recommended to visit a gynecology clinic for a thorough check-up to understand their health status three months before conception. Routine check-ups include: blood tests for six hormones between the 2nd and 4th days of the menstrual cycle on an empty stomach to assess hormone levels. Additionally, a vaginal discharge test, cervical colposcopy, ultrasound examination, and blood tests should be conducted between 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends. Avoid sexual intercourse for 7 days before the examination. If all test results are normal, you can begin preparing for pregnancy. It is recommended to take folic acid for three months before conception.
