Brief Answer:
Explain below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
As you are 26 years old and if you are not having any disease( presuming) like thyroid, sugar, blood pressure and your menstrual cycle is normal than there is no need of any pre- pregnancy test.
But if you are having any problem you should get all the test done along with your hormonal profile and ultrasound scan.
Start taking folic acid tablet 3 months before planning to conceive.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.
Regards
