It took us a while too. I later found out my thyroid levels were slightly off, which was affecting conception. It might be a good idea to get a basic blood panel done by your doctor just to rule out any small issues.

I would suggest sticking to regular safe drinking water or boiled water. When you are pregnant, it's best not to experiment with different water types without asking your gynac first. Take care of yourself.

For me, it started even before I missed my period, they felt so heavy and sore! I literally thought it was just my usual pre-period bloating from all the junk food I was eating.

I panicked and got a blood test done just 3 days after my missed period because the urine test was very faint. The beta HCG test gave me a clear number immediately and completely put my mind at ease. It's super fast and accurate!

My saas told me to keep a track of the monthly cycle carefully. Checking body temperature or discharge changes also helps to know the right days.
