ob/gyn check-up?

in Babies on the Brain

So after a few delays, DH and I are finally ready to start TTC in July! We're so excited :) I just have a question about my dr. visit....

I'm due for my normal yearly check-up in a few weeks. I don't currently have a OB/GYN because my regular 'Family Practice' doctor does my pap smear. So my question is, should I schedule an appt. now with the dr. I want to have when I do get preggers for a check-up before TTC, or is my regular check-up enough - and just wait till after a BFP to contact the OB/GYN dr?

    Your regular is fine for now, especially if no known fertility issues, then just contact an OB when you get your BFP! They usually ant to see you at 6-8 weeks pregnant anyways. Good luck to you both :)

    There is no need for a check up with an OB/GYN.  I just mentioned that we were planning on trying soon at my yearly check up and the only thing he said to me was to start taking PNVs.

    Ask your family doctor if he/she handles prenatal care and/or delivery. My family doctor can do prenatal care but is referring me to another doctor by 34 weeks.

    Thanks everyone! My mom is an RN in OB and she works with the OB/GYN I plan on going with so I know from her that I'll be happy with him. So I think I'll just do the regular check-up, and then wait for my BFP :)
