Preconception Care

Women should take 0.4 mg of folic acid daily while trying to conceive and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Women with epilepsy or who have had an infant with a neural tube defect should increase this dose to 4 mg daily.

Tracking Your Periods

It is important for us to have a detailed record of your last 3-6 periods prior to your first visit. We need to know:

  • The date each period started
  • How many days there were between the first days of each period

"My husband and I couldn't face our relations and friends, who for four years were always asking us why we didn't have a child. Then we met Dr. Roth, who advised us on how to overcome irregular periods and unbearable pain to be able to have a baby. We followed his advice. He worked hard and showed a great deal of patience with our situation. We are now parents of a beautiful baby girl. We recommend Dr. Roth to our community without hesitation."
