Having gone through a loss before, I know how anxious these early scans make you. If it's very early (like before 6 weeks), an abdominal scan might not show much, which can cause unnecessary worry. Just follow your doctor's advice on when to scan.

When I was staying at my mummy's house, we were also very confused about this. My mother told me it's always from the LMP, which is the last menstrual period, and my doctor confirmed the exact same thing.

Honestly, when I was trying, even small food items made me anxious, just like how morning sickness later ruined my appetite! Alsi is warm in nature, so maybe avoid taking it daily. Better to consult your gynac for a proper diet chart.

Slight abdominal stretching is normal early on. I felt minor cramps too, which my doctor said was just the uterus growing, and she advised me to stick to gentle walking. But if the pain is severe or sharp, please contact your doctor immediately.

Yes, it can rise but usually not as fast as in a healthy pregnancy. If you have any sharp pain on one side or spotting, please contact your doctor immediately. Ectopic pregnancy is very serious and needs urgent medical attention.
