Instead of stressing and searching online, just buy a 50 rupees home test kit from the local chemist once your period is missed. It's the cheapest and most practical way to know for sure before you plan any doctor visits.

To be very frank, the chances of a false positive are less than 1%. If you see a line, even a faint one, you are most likely pregnant. Sometimes people mistake an evaporation line for a positive, so check the result strictly within 5 minutes.

Because of my PCOS history, I was extra careful about food risks. Unripe papaya contains enzymes that can lead to uterine spasms, which is very dangerous. I avoided it completely to protect my pregnancy, and I suggest you do the same.

I checked 4 days before my missed period and got a very faint line! Are you feeling any early symptoms yet? Sometimes it's better to wait a bit so the test is clear.

Honestly, there are no natural tricks or home remedies that can decide the baby's gender. We should only pray for a healthy baby. Focus on a good diet and check with your doctor for prenatal vitamins to keep your body ready.
