In my hospital, the medical team made it a mandatory part of the first-trimester screening. If you have any doubts about why it's needed, just ask your doctor or hospital staff clearly, they explain the maternal-fetal benefits so well.

Yes, tests are highly accurate after a missed period. My doctor told me that testing too early can sometimes give a false negative, so wait until at least 1 day after your expected period date.

For accurate results, wait until after your missed period date. If it's positive, please book an appointment with your gynac right away to get your blood tests done safely.

Definitely possible! Once you stop planning, just focus on enjoying good food and staying happy. I literally conceived right after our holiday where I did nothing but eat chaat and sweets. So relax and enjoy the process!

I know how scary it is when your body starts shaking or shivering suddenly, it used to make me panic instantly. Sometimes it's just hormonal shifts or a sudden change in room temperature, but if you have a fever, it can be risky. Please check your temperature and contact your gynac to ease your mind.
