I completely understand how worrying it is when you don't feel many symptoms. But please know that many women have zero symptoms and perfectly healthy babies.

If you mean 5 days after ovulation or intercourse, it is usually too early to get an accurate result. After my own experience, I realized patience is key. Better to wait till your missed period date so you get a clear and stress-free result.

Honestly, tracking your ovulation with those strips is the fastest way, rather than guessing. Try to keep it stress-free, though I know it's hard when you just want to get to the sleeping-all-day phase like me right now!

Bananas are safe, but if you have gestational diabetes, be careful because they can spike sugar levels. I was told to eat only half a banana at a time, paired with some nuts. Check with your doctor or dietitian once.

Having gone through PCOS, I know how hard we struggle to get pregnant, so we definitely shouldn't risk it with even a single sip of alcohol. Doctors strictly advise complete abstinence during pregnancy. Please stay safe and avoid it completely.
