Actually, I panicked and tested a week before my period and got a negative, which made me so sad. But when I tested 4 days after my missed period, it was a solid positive. So definitely wait for your missed period!

Yaar, actually pregnancy hormones can do crazy things to your digestion! Some women get super constipated, while others get loose motions or frequent visits to the loo. It's totally normal unless you feel dehydrated.

It is quite difficult to hide a pregnancy till the end, but loose cotton salwar suits and dark colors help a lot. However, please make sure you are regularly visiting your doctor for all scans. Don't avoid medical care just to keep it a secret, okay?

Many women ask this! Yes, transferring multiple blastocysts is the main way to get twins in IVF, but many clinics now prefer single embryo transfers to avoid complications, so discuss the risks clearly with your specialist.

My heart rate was always slightly higher throughout my pregnancy, especially in the second trimester. It's just the body pumping more blood for your little one. Try to take deep, slow breaths and don't strain yourself with heavy work.
