Why Preconception
Testing Is Important

- Detect hormonal imbalances that may affect ovulation.
- Identify genetic conditions that could be passed to a child.
- Screen for infections that may impact pregnancy.
- Evaluate overall health, including blood sugar and thyroid function.
- Provide nutritional recommendations for optimal pregnancy preparation.
