Birth Control Update
It is important to have a conversation with your doctor if you are feeling uneasy about your birth control. You may be experiencing a hormonal change. Your current birth control may be disrupting your lifestyle. Check with your doctor about using another method.

These are all concerns to be addressed with your doctor.
Breast and Pelvic Organs Check
Every year – you should undergo a Pap smear to screen-out any potential risk of cervical cancer. Microscopic cells are collected from your cervix during the exam. Your gynecologist also feel-checks your breast and pelvic organs – cervix, uterus, ovaries.
A Healthy Body Mass Index (BMI)
A healthy body weight and diet is important to increasing your chances of becoming pregnant. Strive to achieve and maintain a healthy body mass index (BMI) to keep your reproductive cycle in balance. Body mass Index of 19 to 24 indicates a healthy weight. Anything overhead 24 or underneath 19 may be hampering your chances of ovulation and conception.
