Oh my god, I used to read so many things online and get super scared about every medicine! But my doctor explained that folic acid is completely safe and crucial. Please don't worry and just take it as advised.

There are ultra-sensitive kits in India like Prega News Ultra or similar that claim to detect 5 days before periods. But my tracker app always suggested waiting till the first day of the missed period to avoid chemical pregnancy confusion.

Uff, those planning days! Usually it's 400 mcg, but honestly, I can barely remember what I ate for breakfast today with this third-trimester brain. Better ask your doc to write it down for you, haha!

My pregnancy app tracker mentioned frequent urination is super common because of the hCG hormone increasing blood flow to the pelvic area. It's a classic early sign!

Best is to wait till the day your period is due or a day after, the app reminded me too. Testing too early gives faint or false negatives. Use first morning urine for the clearest result.
