Please try to be patient and don't stress yourself by testing too early. The waiting period is very hard, I know, but testing early can sometimes give false negatives which cause unnecessary worry. Wait for your missed period.

Cysts are often harmless, but please monitor them closely with your doctor. Since I had a miscarriage in the past, I was very careful and got my scans done regularly to check if the cyst size was changing. If you ever feel sharp, sudden pain on one side, call your doctor immediately.

Honestly I was so confused about tracking ovulation days and felt so much pressure, did anyone else feel like this? Now that I am in my second trimester, I realize we stress way too much. Just have regular contact during your fertile days and it will happen.

Listen, please don't stress about the numbers on the scale right now. Your body is growing a whole human being, so some weight gain is absolutely necessary and healthy. Just focus on eating nutritious home-cooked meals and let your doctor guide you if there's any concern.

Beta, don't worry about these dark patches, they are just because of pregnancy heat. You can apply a little fresh aloe vera gel or a mild curd and besan pack on your face gently. But don't rub too hard, and avoid going out in the direct sun.
