Chitra Gowda

Look, PCOS is very common and completely manageable. Don't waste time trying randomly—go straight to a good gynecologist, get your hormone levels checked, and take medication for ovulation if needed. It works wonders.

For me, my mother-in-law said it will feel heavy like after eating curd rice, but actually it felt very weirdly tight. I just had some mild cramps like periods. My gynac told me it's totally normal because the uterus is stretching, so I didn't stress much.

Oh god, my love for spicy biryani gave me horrible acidity, and my gynac actually prescribed me pantoprazole to survive. But please don't just pop one from the cabinet. Ask your doctor first so you can enjoy your food cravings safely!

Don't waste time on home hacks like salt or sugar tests, they are completely useless. Just wait for your period date, and if you are super impatient, get a beta hCG blood test done at a lab. That's the only accurate way.

I know how hard this phase is after a D&C, sending u so much love. When we were trying during our IVF journey, we also thought about Ayurveda but honestly our doctor advised us to let the lining heal naturally first. Please be very gentle with your body and discuss everything with your fertility specialist before starting anything new.
