I read on my pregnancy app that norethisterone can cause birth defects if taken during early pregnancy. If you have accidentally taken it, stop immediately and consult your gynac right away.

It's basically a malted drink with cocoa and vitamins, so it's generally safe in normal amounts. Just keep an eye on the sugar content, especially if your doctor is checking you for gestational diabetes. A little bit now and then is perfectly fine.

I remember doing those silly online symptom checkers when I was trying to conceive! They are fun but not accurate. A proper home test card is the only real way to know.

No, don't drag anything heavy. Your ligaments are already loose during pregnancy, and dragging can easily pull a muscle or cause injury. Just ask for help.

In my experience, once I got my positive test, my periods and ovulation stopped entirely. This is how the body naturally protects the pregnancy, but you can always ask your doctor for scientific details.
