Recently, many people have come to ask about knowledge points about pregnancy preparation. Then I realized that there seems to be no systematic popular science content for a long time, so today we will systematically provide pregnancy preparation strategies from three dimensions:
1. What to eat to prepare for pregnancy?
Many people hope to start working on their diet during pregnancy preparation, but in fact, at this time, they only need to grasp two major principles:
Supplement folic acid. 2 to 3 months before starting to prepare for pregnancy, consume 400 to 800 micrograms of folic acid every day. You can directly choose folic acid supplements, or you can consider eating at least 500 grams of green leafy vegetables every day.
Avoid toxic, harmful and polluted foods or environments, and focus on raw foods of unknown origin, such as sashimi, fish, drunken shrimp, drunken crab, etc. This is not only a problem with raw food, but also involves the influence of alcohol. 
2. What are the pregnancy tests?
Nowadays, many people hope to start preparing for pregnancy after being fully prepared, so we encourage everyone to complete physical and disease examinations of both parties before starting to prepare for pregnancy. This can also increase the efficiency and success rate of pregnancy preparation. Let’s talk about the examination items in detail below:
Female: (3 days after menstrual period, different rooms for three days before the examination, fasting on the day of examination)
Routine blood examination: whether you have blood diseases such as thalassemia;
Routine urine examination: protein, sugar, ketone bodies, red and white blood cells, etc. in urine;
Blood type test: ABO blood type, Rh blood type;
Liver function test: full set of hepatitis B, blood sugar, bile, alanine aminotransferase;
Kidney function test: helpful for early diagnosis of kidney disease;
Six items of sex hormones: To assess ovarian function, do this on the 2nd to 3rd day of menstruation. 
Male: (no room for three days before the examination, fasting is required on the day of examination)
Semen routine: Understand the density, vitality, deformity rate, etc. of small crickets.
Prostatic fluid examination: Check for inflammation.
Blood routine: check whether you have thalassemia, etc.
Liver function test: Check variousHepatitis etc.
Urine routine: Check for diseases that affect fertility such as diabetes, hepatitis, nephritis, etc.
Genitourinary system examination: diagnosis of reproductive tract infections, reproductive organ diseases, etc.
Chromosome: Check for infectious or familial genetic diseases.
3. What should I use to prepare for pregnancy?
Focus on the need to help those who are preparing for pregnancy to prepare for pregnancy more efficiently and accurately, especially if you have prepared before, but have not yet become pregnant, it may be that the timing of pregnancy preparation is not accurate, so the following focuses on specific methods and strategies:
Thermometer: Use basal body temperature to monitor the timing of ovulation. It can be measured when you open your eyes in the morning, but there are many factors that affect body temperature and the accuracy of the results is low;
B-ultrasound monitoring: Directly monitor follicular development and predict ovulation timing through B-ultrasound. The results are accurate and intuitive, but you need to go to the hospital, which is costly and has a high threshold;
Ovulation test paper: Use the color change of the test paper to determine the LH peak and predict the timing of ovulation. Test at home. The cost is low, but the accuracy of qualitative observation is low, the results are not intuitive, and long-term quantitative observation is not possible;
So, you can consider choosing a method that suits you based on your own situation. Which method you use is not the point. After all, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The key is to accurately find the right time to arrange it.
To sum up, this time I want to share the pregnancy preparation guide. I hope it can serve as a guide for those who need to prepare for pregnancy. I also hope that everyone who makes a choice will get the results they expect.
