According to my pregnancy trackers, repeating liver enzymes or glucose tests (GTT) is standard protocol if you have certain risk factors like family history or high BP. It is totally safe and help doctors keep a close track of your health.

Mild cramping can happen when the embryo implants, but please don't do any heavy walking or exercises if you have pain. It's always best to ask your doctor what is safe for you right now.

To prevent low BP, increase your fluid intake, add a bit more salt to your diet if your doctor allows, and avoid standing for long periods. If you feel dizzy, lie down on your left side immediately.

The month of conception is simply the month the egg was fertilized, which usually happens about two weeks after your last menstrual period. Doctors generally use your LMP to count weeks because the exact day of conception is hard to pinpoint. Keep it simple and follow your scan reports.
