I'm planning for a baby and have some questions about health checks before we start trying. What tests should my husband and I get done to make sure everything is okay for pregnancy? I'm also scheduled for LASIK eye surgery soon will that affect my baby plans? What general health and fitness steps should we focus on before conceiving?

Please do basic tests like CBC, TSH, RBS, RUBELLA IGG, HPLC, VIRAL MARKERS to be sure that all her parameters are normal and we do not need any medication or vaccine. If you do not conceive naturally for 3 months then do a semen analysis also. Best time to have relation is day 10 to day 17

I'm really confused and worried after my sister took a pregnancy test on the doctor's advice because she missed her period. The test showed a very faint pink line on the control line and a prominent pink line on the test line. Does this mean the test is positive or negative? Also, she took the i-pill within 24 hours of having unprotected contact. Can you help me understand what this all means?

Test is positive , do another time for confirmation

I'm currently 132 weeks pregnant, and I've noticed that my fasting sugar levels have gone up to 110, while they used to be around 75 before I got pregnant. Should I be worried about gestational diabetes? And what steps can I take to manage it? I'm also concerned about whether this could harm my baby.

110 mgdL fasting blood sugar is elevated but not necessarily a sign of gestational diabetes on its own. Confirmatory testing will help determine your next steps.
