Absolutely! My pregnancy app actually recommended chikoo as it is packed with fiber and calcium which is great for the baby's bone development. Just track your portions so you don't overeat.

For me, the first sign before my missed period was this horrible, metallic taste in my mouth and sudden nausea when smelling tea. But to be sure, those home test kits are the only reliable way. Try to wait till the day of your missed period.

True, we can't fully control them, but taking small, frequent meals helps with nausea. Hang in there, it gets better.

Oh, my nausea hit me like a truck around the 6th week, and it didn't leave for months. Some women get mild cramps or sore boobs around week 4 or 5. Just keep some ginger candies nearby if the sickness starts early, it really helps.

Having gone through IVF, I know how agonizing every single day of waiting can feel. But biologically, 4 days is simply too early for hCG to build up in your system. Please protect your heart and try to wait until at least 12 days post-ovulation or your missed period for a reliable result.
