Starting your family planning journey begins with a talk with your doctor. This initial meeting is a great opportunity to discuss your health background, future aspirations, and any worries you might have. It's a good idea for both partners to be present, so everyone's views and questions can be considered. Your doctor will walk you through different family planning options and carry out any necessary health checks.

The number of times you'll need to see your doctor can vary based on your unique situation and the family planning methods you're considering. You might start with several appointments to set up your plan, followed by regular check-ins to see how things are going and make any needed adjustments. Your doctor will suggest a schedule that fits your particular needs.

If you are thinking about starting a family, some tweaks to your daily routine can help. Eating well, staying active, keeping stress in check, and steering clear of smoking and too much alcohol can boost your fertility and support your reproductive health. Your doctor can offer personalised tips on any lifestyle changes that may benefit your family planning efforts.

If you're finding it tough to conceive, there are many options of support available. Your doctor might conduct tests, refer you to a fertility specialist, or suggest counselling. Depending on your needs, you might explore options like fertility medication, assisted reproductive technologies, or specific lifestyle changes. Each couple's path can look a little different, and your doctor will help create a plan tailored just for you.
