When my doctor prescribed Duphaston, my MIL was initially a bit worried about so many pills, but I explained it's just hormone support to keep the baby safe. It helps strengthen the pregnancy, so definitely take it if your doctor has told you to.

Honestly, testing before your missed period can give confusing faint lines. Wait for at least 1-2 days after your missed date for a clear home test.

People kept telling me to eat this and that to cure things naturally, but I didn't listen to all that. Please just focus on your regular blood tests and doctor visits. Don't let their words affect your health or stress levels, it's not worth it.

I remember being so impatient to know! It usually takes about 2 weeks from conception for the pregnancy hormone to show up on home tests. Take rest, eat well, and test after you miss your date.

With my PCOS, I had to be very careful with my diet and lifestyle. I didn't completely quit coffee, but I shifted to just one weak cup a day and focused more on managing insulin. It's a slow process, so don't pressure yourself too much.
