Yes, it's safe to eat! I love making brown rice fried rice with lots of paneer and broccoli for protein. After a satisfying meal, I always go for a gentle 15-minute walk to help with digestion, since my doctor has cleared me for light exercise.

The two-week wait after IUI is honestly one of the most emotional and difficult times. Please wait for 14 days so you don't get a heartbreaking false result. I am praying so hard that you get your beautiful positive test soon, stay strong.

Always better to check with your gynac once regarding your diet. Generally, a little bit of MSG occasionally is fine, but since it has high sodium, caution is good.

In my experience, a little bit of brownish spotting can happen during the first few weeks as the body adjusts to all the hormonal changes. But as a mother, I always tell everyone not to take chances with any kind of bleeding. Please call your doctor just to get that reassurance.

My mom told me not to rush for scans too early because it just causes unnecessary worry if they can't see everything clearly at 40 days. We waited till about 7 weeks so we could hear the baby's heartbeat easily. If you do go now, just remember a tiny sac is all they usually see.
