Episode Summary

If you just found out you're pregnant, or you're getting ready to start trying, this episode is for you. I walk you through exactly what to test the moment you get a positive result, hCG and progesterone, not just one or the other, and why waiting until your first ultrasound to know if things are okay isn't good enough. You'll learn what I test for in each trimester, from methylation and thyroid function to bile acids and cervical length, why easy conception doesn't mean an easy pregnancy, and two real patient stories where catching something early through testing made all the difference.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• hCG alone doesn't tell you enough; pairing it with progesterone gives a fuller picture of the pregnancy
• Conventional standards accept progesterone above 10, but levels above 20 offer better support
• Don't stop progesterone when a trimester ends; wait until testing confirms the placenta has taken over
• Struggled to conceive? Underlying issues can resurface during pregnancy, so more monitoring helps, not less
• No symptoms doesn't mean no risk; some complications only show up through testing
• Catching problems early through regular testing helps prevent emergencies later in pregnancy
