Honestly, I can't give medical advice, but for me, a lot of watery white discharge was my very first symptom before my missed period. Every body is different though, so a proper home test is the only way to be sure.

Actually yes, because our bodies are unpredictable! Just like my food cravings, ovulation can happen anytime if your hormones are slightly off. Better to wait for your period date and then test.

For IVF pregnancies, they calculate it a bit differently based on your transfer date, which can feel a little confusing. Don't worry too much about the math, your doctor will give you the exact week during your first scan.

Since I had PCOS, tracking my cycle and eating low-carb food made a big difference. Don't lose heart, just focus on keeping your hormones stable and work closely with your doctor.

Log your period date in any tracker app, and if it shows you are late, just do a home pregnancy strip test. Using the first morning urine is key because hCG levels are highest then.
