👶  Ob Gyn

We plan to have our first baby next year and are both about 40 years old. I use Ciprofloxacin antibiotic for prostatitis, and my wife uses Synthroid for her thyroid. We want to be in the best state when we try to conceive. We are also considering having twins and are curious about the IVF method due to a family history of ADHD. What type of consultant can you offer, and what steps should we take to prepare for pregnancy?

I spoke to you yesterday about an intense headache, which went away by this morning. I saw my OBGYN today for a normal appointment and got a flu shot. Everything was fine until I ate dinner and felt really hot and unwell, then threw up everything I had eaten and continued to throw up until it was stomach acid. Should I be concerned this is due to the flu shot? I suffered from hyperemesis in my last pregnancy but have been okay recently since being prescribed anti-nausea meds.
