In the time of quarantine, you can get in touch with Dr. Manika Khanna, the specialist who has more than a decade of experience and has treated hundreds of cases, successfully.

But while you do that, there are some things every doctor would ask you to do. It is following some important measures 90 days/ 3 months before you go for any treatment that needs assistance.

What is the 90- Day checklist?

Since a healthy pregnancy is everyone’s number one goal, Gaudium has prescribed a 90-Day Preconception Checklist.  This checklist is uniquely designed to achieve a positive and healthy pregnancy outcome, and most importantly, a healthy pregnancy experience throughout your 9 months. The checklist majorly covers a variety of lifestyle pillars, like nutrition intake, lifestyle habits, emotional health, and finances.

It has been observed that by making very small adjustments to your lifestyle 90 days prior to conception, you can not only improve your personal health, but you also improve your fertility chances.

Limit Alcohol- First and foremost is to limit your alcohol intake. It is yet to be known that how much alcohol content does it take to cause fertility issues, so it’s the safest and best advice is to avoid alcohol altogether and continue with a healthy life for 3 months.

Quit Smoking- Another lifestyle change doctors recommend is quit smoking. It is proven that smoking can cause a lot of problems to your fertility since it impacts you egg quality. 

Consider your BMI- Every body is different and it deals with different challenges while going through a pregnancy.  Having said that, both being underweight and overweight can have different effects on your fertility. So, keep checking your BMI before you proceed with the treatment.

Identify friends and family of support- It is better to tell a few people before trying. Your parents and friends can be at your constant care if your second half is unavailable. Infact your parents can come live with you and help you out.

Choose a doctor who is friendly- It is very important to choose a clinic or doctor who you can share everything with. In Gaudium IVF, our staff is very friendly and give personalised care to each and every patient.

By following this checklist, you are definitely giving yourself a chance to a healthy pregnancy.
