Hello,

As you have stopped the contraceptive medicine and planning to conceive. I suggest consulting a gynecologist would be better idea as before conceiving you should get you CBC done to see the hemoglobin levels. If the levels are lower than normal then doctors usually recommend getting the Hb levels corrected to normal levels with help of increasing dietary intake as well as with medicines.

Also, for prevention of neural tube defects like disorders in babies, folic acid supplementation must be started and that will be well described by your gynecologist to you.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
