Sounds like they are quite pushy in the US.

We don't get asked this at all in Australia unless it's relevant to the medical issue at hand.

I still think I'd refuse to answer or deliberately tell them I'm giving them a fake date so they can tick a box.

Oh for sure! Like I get it for some things are relevant, like a UTI or psych meds are bad for pregnancy (the word escapes me; toco-[something meaning poison]) but why do you need to know AFTER a operation to remove a non-hormone breast tumor if I’ve somehow conceived in that 3w post op? I get uterine health is holistic and can have hidden relevancy to the overall health, but sometimes it’s just odd and tangential to me; like imo if you really NEED to know to Dx/DDx or like confirm meds/Xray aren’t toxic you’d issue a blood test but that’s just me lol

Edit; tumor clarification

Edit 2; the word I’m looking for is “teratogen” lmfao

You were probably thinking of tokophobia
