Women's Health and Fertility

This week topic was Women’s Health and Fertility! We talked about women’s health, preconception health, as well as infertility. Did you know that a good women’s health is preconception health? Have you ever wondered when you are supposed to start getting PAP test and breast exams or how regularly you should be getting them once you start? Well we talked about it!

We also talked about some common questions regarding preconception and conceiving as well we touched on some of the types of in vitro fertilization treatments that are out there.

Have a listen to the show and afterward look at the many resources that we used to answer or get any more information that you want. Pass it along to friends and family members as well!!
