I completely validate that intense, restless feeling of wanting to know the result as soon as possible, it is so hard to wait. A blood test can detect pregnancy very early, around 10 days after conception, but testing too early might give borderline numbers which will only increase your anxiety. Try to wait till your missed period date if you can.

When you are already feeling so sick, a headache just makes it worse. My doctor had told me paracetamol is fine to take occasionally, but she made me promise to call her before taking it. Do ask your doc first, dear.

Actually, it's just an amino acid supplement, but honestly, I'd rather spend my energy craving some hot samosas! Definitely ask a doctor before taking any such medical supplements if you aren't pregnant.

Look, folic acid is basic but you shouldn't just pick one from the pharmacy. Go to your gynac, get your blood tests done, and take whatever brand they prescribe. Every brand has different strengths, so self-medication is a big no.

My saas suggested drinking warm cardamom milk before bed. It actually helped relax my mind and body quite a bit.
