Carpela is a contraceptive pill, so the chances of conceiving are very low if taken correctly, but no pill is 100% foolproof. Just like I had to do regular follow-ups with my doctor for my thyroid, you should consult your gynac to discuss if you missed any pills or want to plan a baby.

For me, my periods stopped completely as soon as I got my positive test. I had a tiny bit of pink spotting in week 6 which scared me, but my doctor checked and said it was normal.

Yaar, actually high sugar levels can make the baby put on too much weight, which might lead to a C-section. My friend had this, but she managed it perfectly with a low-carb diet and regular checking. Just stay in touch with your gynac and don't take it lightly.

As a working mom, early pregnancy was tough with all the fatigue. My advice is to sleep early, keep some dry crackers by your bed for morning sickness, and stay hydrated at work. Don't push yourself to do everything, delegate tasks.

Reading about these terms can be so scary, I completely understand your anxiety. Preeclampsia is basically high BP and it needs proper medical monitoring to keep you and baby safe. Please discuss this with your gynac so they can reassure you.
