Stress can tighten your muscles and raise your heart rate. A slow 10-minute walk or light stretching can lower cortisol, but only do these exercises if your gynac has approved it.

With my PCOS, my cycles were always irregular and Plan B made them worse when I took it years ago. It won't give a false positive test, but it definitely messes with your period dates. Please see a doctor to get a clear answer.

Those early scans are like a suspense thriller anyway! They usually catch it in the very first scan around 8-10 weeks when checking for the heartbeat.

Just like we only do doctor-approved exercises, medical procedures should only be done by a gynac. Please don't try any home tricks and consult a specialist.

Sometimes it just takes time for the stars to align, or in my case, to double align! Don't lose heart, sometimes our bodies just need a few cycles to get everything right. Just keep trying and don't make it a stressful chore.
