OVER 35 AND WANTING TO GET PREGNANT?
If you are over 35 and thinking of getting pregnant, Garreton suggests you get a general health screening, and if all is normal (weight, blood pressure, Pap, STD screening, etc.) and you have not had previous medical issues, such as sexually transmitted diseases, and your periods are regular, no special testing is needed or useful. Testing for “infertility” starts after one year of unprotected intercourse—at any age.
