This sounds so magical! I am currently planning my pregnancy and love reading about these milestones. I can't wait to experience those tiny 5-month flutters myself one day.

Your best window is the 3 days right before ovulation and the day of. Sperm can live inside for up to 5 days, so having intercourse during this time gives you the highest chance. Buy some ovulation strips to find your exact fertile days.

You can get a rough estimate using online due date calculators by putting in your last period date. But please don't rely only on online calculations, always get it confirmed by your gynac through an early ultrasound scan to be 100% safe.

I have PCOS and had to take progesterone injections because of early spotting. They do help stabilize things, but please don't take any decision without your doctor's exact guidance.

When I was trying to conceive, I realized that getting a healthy baby is the biggest blessing in the world. I felt that whether it is a boy or a girl, the joy of holding your own child in your arms is completely unmatched. Let's just pray for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby!
