Agreed, 12 DPO is the absolute earliest but 14 DPO is safest. Taking the test first thing in the morning with your first pee gives the most accurate result.

I only had to take one booster shot because my kids have a short age gap. Your gynecologist will schedule it at the right week.

I also faced a long gap when trying for my second child. For us, it took almost two years without any apparent reason, but we just kept trying without stress and it eventually happened. Every body is different, so my experience might not be the same as yours.

Sitting on the floor for hours during such long pujas can really hurt your back and legs. I used to only do my light prenatal yoga and walking after my doctor cleared it, so sitting still in one posture for a ritual was a big no for me. Better to sit on a chair comfortably and avoid straining your body.

Because of my PCOS history, I was always at a higher risk for fluid retention and blood pressure issues, so facial swelling made me very cautious. Please don't try home remedies for this. Just consult your doctor today so they can check your vitals and advise you safely.
