Your Fertility Checklist: What Every Woman Should Know Before Planning for Pregnancy

Your Fertility Checklist: What Every Woman Should Know Before Planning for Pregnancy

Becoming a mother is a deeply personal and life-changing decision. While emotional readiness is important, physical health is equally essential. Understanding your reproductive health through a Fertility Pre-Screening allows you to plan more effectively, reduce potential risks, and increase the likelihood of a successful pregnancy—whether you are considering IVF in Thailand, egg freezing, or natural conception.

This type of screening is beneficial not only for couples ready to start a family but also for women interested in fertility preservation or exploring assisted reproductive technologies such as ICSI, IVF, or IUI.

Why Fertility Health Screening Matters Before Pregnancy

  1. Make Informed Decisions with Accurate Health Data

    Many fertility issues present without symptoms. A comprehensive fertility health check—covering hormone levels, ovarian reserve, and uterine condition—can help guide decisions between natural conception, egg freezing, or fertility treatments. Early insight empowers you to make informed, timely decisions.

  2. Identify and Prevent Complications Early

    Fertility screening can detect genetic risks, hormone imbalances, and infectious diseases that may affect pregnancy or fetal development. Early awareness enables proper intervention, helping to reduce the chance of complications during pregnancy and childbirth.

  3. Improve Pregnancy Success Rates

    With detailed information about your reproductive system—such as egg quality, endometrial thickness, or menstrual patterns—doctors can recommend targeted lifestyle adjustments, essential supplements, or medical interventions based on your unique health profile.

What’s Included in a Fertility Pre-Screening for Women?

At a leading fertility clinic in Thailand, screening packages are tailored to women who are preparing for pregnancy or considering egg freezing. A comprehensive evaluation includes physical, reproductive, genetic, and immunological assessments.

  1. General Health and Risk Assessment

    Initial screenings help identify conditions that may affect pregnancy and allow doctors to offer precise preventive guidance. Core tests include

    • Complete Blood Count (CBC) Checks for anemia, infection, and immune health—all critical for a healthy pregnancy.
    • Blood Group and Rh Typing Determines compatibility between mother and baby; especially important if the mother is Rh-negative.
    • Infectious Disease Screening Tests for HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and syphilis to prevent vertical transmission and inform safe care plans.
  2. Genetic and Immunity Screening

    This step is especially important for couples with a family history of genetic conditions or incomplete vaccination history. Recommended tests include:

    • Thalassemia Carrier Screening (Hb Typing) Assesses risk of passing thalassemia to the child. If both partners are carriers, there's a higher chance of the child inheriting the disease.
    • Rubella Immunity (Rubella IgG) Rubella infection during pregnancy can cause congenital defects. If immunity is lacking, vaccination is advised at least 1–3 months before pregnancy.
  3. Reproductive Potential Evaluation

    Understanding your reproductive window is essential for pregnancy planning, especially if you're considering ICSI/IVF in Bangkok or egg freezing.

    • Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Test in female patients is used to estimate ovarian reserve. While it does not directly measure egg quality, a low level of AMH in females may suggest early ovarian aging.
    • Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS) Assesses the uterus and ovaries and counts antral follicles (AFC) to evaluate baseline fertility. TVS can also detect abnormalities like fibroids, adhesions, or uterine septum, which may interfere with embryo implantation.

Why Early Fertility Screening is Empowering

Prioritizing Fertility Pre-Screening before trying to conceive is more than a physical preparation—it’s a foundation for informed, confident family planning. When you understand your body, you're better equipped to take timely action and choose a fertility path that fits your life goals.
