We have to be so careful with what we put in our bodies during this precious time. Valium is generally avoided in pregnancy, so please discuss safer mental health support options with your doctor.

Do rest as much as you can now, because after my C-section I realized how exhausting recovery can be! Don't try to do heavy household chores or lift heavy weights.

According to my gynac, implantation cramping, fatigue, and missed periods are the most common initial signs. Some women also experience mild spotting. I researched a lot and found that hormonal changes start showing within 1-2 weeks of conception.

For naturally conceived pregnancies, doctors calculate from the first day of your last period, but for IVF, we calculate from the embryo transfer date. Please don't worry about the exact day, babies rarely arrive on their actual due date anyway. Wishing you a very smooth journey ahead.

They are 99% accurate if you test on the day of your missed period. I used my period tracker app to log my cycle and tested exactly on the day it predicted, and got a clear positive. If you get a faint line, track your symptoms like sore breasts or mild cramping on an app and retest after 48 hours.
