Had my first appointment yesterday since planning to TTC. It was a strange experience virtually talking to my doctor. She made some suggestions and I was curious if any of you had similar things said.

1st and most importantly...FERTILITY DOCTOR. I have cencal and my pcp said usually fertility isn’t covered. Anyone have any work around, suggestions ect? Is a fertility doctor absolutely needed or just a strong recommendation? My wife and I don’t have a ton of extra money to put into this so making sure it is spent wisely.

2ndly does anyone have a list of ok things to eat when pregnant? I was told to start treating my body as if I was already pregnant. My doctor didn’t really have much info aside from no unpasteurized cheese, and to stay away from fish and things with Mercury.

Every step I feel just shows me how unprepared and it’s very overwhelming.
