Yes, a high-sensitivity home kit can detect it, but for 100% confirmation, I booked a home blood collection through my hospital. The lab coordinators are very prompt and they shared the reports directly with my doctor, which made things so smooth.

I know how stressful it is when doctors prescribe hormonal supplements, making you feel anxious about your baby's safety. But progesterone is actually a natural hormone that protects your pregnancy, so please trust your doctor.

Since we are also trying to conceive, I am always so scared of taking any random medicines. I think it is best to avoid self-medicating and ask your doctor first before taking Flagyl. Hopefully, everything goes well for you.

My pregnancy tracker app kept reminding me that hormone levels dip and spike throughout the week, which is why symptoms disappear and reappear. It's totally normal and documented, so don't worry.

I completely understand your fear, when I was pregnant I used to Google every single spice before eating and get so stressed. Take a deep breath. A little bit of dalchini in your tea or food is absolutely harmless, so please don't worry yourself too much.
