When you go through fertility treatments, you learn so much about how complex our bodies are. Yes, it is rare, but if you have a short cycle, ovulation can happen very close to your period. Please don't be hard on yourself if you are trying to understand your body, we are all here to support you.

I am also trying to conceive and reading about how the uterus lining thickens to support the baby is so fascinating. It feels like such a gentle, beautiful process.

Start planning your finances early because two kids means double the expenses! Before trying, get your basic blood tests and thyroid checks done so u don't end up spending heavily on complications later. Pre-planning tests actually saves a lot of hospital money.

As a rule of thumb, ibuprofen (which is in Nuromol) is generally not recommended during pregnancy because of potential risks to the baby. Only paracetamol under doctor's prescription is safe. Better to give your gynac a call and get the right medicine.

In my experience, I tested 3 days before my missed period and got a very faint line. But honestly, waiting till the missed period date gives the most accurate result.
