A home test can show a positive as early as the first day of your missed period, but in my experience with past complications, home tests can sometimes be misleading. It is always much safer to get a beta-hCG blood test done through your doctor. They can accurately confirm the pregnancy and check if the hormone levels are rising properly.

Yaar, raw papaya toh completely avoid karo, it is actually not safe. Fully ripe fruits are mostly fine, but still, pineapple and grapes ko thoda limit me hi rakho. Ek baar doctor se discuss kar lena for peace of mind.

Honestly, do not pop that pill. Fluconazole is not considered safe during pregnancy. Straightaway book an appointment with your gynac, she will prescribe a safe topical alternative.
