Re: blood test before TTC
I did. It was just to make sure there were no factors that would cause concern.

Okay, that was confusing to me!!
I thought Kitkat had made the original post, and I was wondering why you were giving yourself advice!
Then I realize it was KittyCat with the first post!!

Re: blood test before TTC
I have had every bloodtest known to mankind lol I was even checked for Parvo, which I thought only affected dogs lol. That made me laugh.
You should know your blood type and Rh factor. If your blood is Rh negative and your partner's is Rh positive, you may develop antibodies that prove dangerous to your fetus. This can be treated through a course of injections.
Anemia (a low red blood cell count) to make sure you're not iron deficient
Hepatitis B, syphilis, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Immunity to German measles (rubella) and chickenpox (varicella)
Cystic fibrosis. Health care providers now routinely check for this even when there's no family history of the disorder and genetic panels relating to your ethnic background.

They checked for the following:
Hepatitis B, Immunity to German measles (rubella) and chickenpox (varicella)
I am pretty sure that was it.
