Lucy's first tip: See your GP for a pre-pregnancy screening. In this video: 

  • " Have the conversation with your GP before you start trying, or as soon as you feel it is taking too long"
  • "Despite what you learnt in school, just looking at penis, wont get you pregnant" (that's science!)
  • "Get tests that may not directly relate to fertility, but are important for future pregnancy."
