My grandmother tried to check my pulse too when I missed my period, but it's not clinically reliable. Please save yourself the guessing game and do a proper home pregnancy test for accurate peace of mind.
My family members also tried checking my wrist pulse, but it didn't show anything clear. I just bought a standard pregnancy kit from the chemist, tested the next morning, and got my positive. Go with the kit, it's the best!
When I was trying, I also read about pulse changes, but practically it's very hard to interpret. A home test kit used a day or two after your missed period is the safest and most accurate way to be sure.
I totally understand that beautiful curiosity and how much we want to know right away. But honestly, while traditional 'naadi' reading is popular among elders, a simple home urine kit is the only reliable way. Sending you lots of love and hoping for your positive news, dear!
While Ayurvedic pulse reading or 'naadi pariksha' is a traditional technique, it requires high clinical expertise and isn't a substitute for modern diagnostics. The most accurate way to confirm pregnancy is a home urine test or a beta-hCG blood test recommended by your doctor.
