I remember the absolute rush of excitement and nerves holding that test strip in the morning! Yes, try to use the first morning urine because it holds the most hormone. Wishing you all the luck in the world, I hope you get the result your heart desires!

You don't need to buy the most expensive digital tests, the basic 50-rupee strips work perfectly fine. They just check the hCG hormone levels in your urine. Save that extra money for your first ultrasound and doctor's fee instead.

I completely understand how stressful and mechanical it can feel when you are trying to conceive. But try to relax, because stress actually affects ovulation. The best way is to have regular intercourse every alternate day during your fertile window so that you don't miss the ovulation day.

Try to keep your mind positive by reading good books, listening to peaceful bhajans, or doing simple meditation. Our elders always say that a calm mind brings good vibes to the little one. Take care and trust the process.

Don't stress too much, just follow doctor's advice on pelvic rest, it usually shifts up later.
