Ready to conceive? Your body might not be. Here’s a complete preconception checklist every Indian woman needs to prep her body for pregnancy
and improve overall pre-pregnancy health.
Your Fertility Isn’t Just in Your Ovaries
We often think of fertility as a matter of reproductive organs. But the truth is, your whole body contributes to a healthy conception and pregnancy. Hormones, immunity, gut health, micronutrient levels — it all plays a role.
And unless you check under the hood, you might miss key gaps that delay or derail your plans.
What to Fix First (Before You Even Think of Baby Names)
- Weight and metabolism: Whether you’re underweight or overweight, both can affect ovulation and increase pregnancy risks.
- Chronic inflammation: From poor gut health to unmanaged stress, inflammation can impair egg quality and implantation.
- Hormonal imbalances: Irregular cycles, acne, or hair growth could be signs of PCOS symptoms or thyroid dysfunction.
- Sleep and energy levels: Fatigue could be linked to low B12, anemia, or thyroid issues.
- Toxic load: Excess caffeine, alcohol, plastics, and stress hormones can all mess with your fertility.
What to Test: Your Preconception Lab Checklist
This is where proper fertility testing for women becomes crucial.
Check:
- AMH (Ovarian reserve)
- TSH, Free T3, Free T4 (Thyroid function)
- Vitamin D, B12, and Folate
- CBC (for anemia and infections)
- Blood sugar and insulin resistance
- STD panel (especially if trying for a baby with a new partner)
- Hormonal panel (LH, FSH, Prolactin, Testosterone)
What to Track (And What to Ignore)
- Track: Cycle length, period flow, ovulation symptoms, energy and mood
- Ignore: Social media advice, fertility myths, and unproven supplements
Start with 3 months of consistent tracking for a clearer picture of your body’s rhythms.
