Before pregnancy, I drank green tea daily for my PCOS, but once I conceived, I became very cautious. Green tea can actually reduce how well your body absorbs folic acid, so it's safer to avoid it or consult your doctor first.

I am also in the same phase and trying to conceive. Mostly, senior ladies and docs suggest waiting at least one or two days after your missed period. Hope we both get our good news soon!

I panicked so much thinking my severe nausea was some infection, but it was just terrible gas and acidity. Drinking warm water and walking after meals helped me so much. It gets better, don't worry!

First morning urine is recommended because hCG is concentrated. But if your period is late by many days, any time can work. Still, always visit your gynac for a blood test to be 100% sure.

I totally panicked when my hips started aching at just 8 weeks, thinking something was wrong. But my doctor reassured me that the hormone relaxin is already starting to loosen up the ligaments. It is totally normal, so please don't stress!
