Agree with others, cutting down on alcohol is highly recommended for better fertility results.

My mother-in-law used to say that body warmth or subtle mood changes can start early, but my doctor advised that hormone levels are too low to show real symptoms in just a week. It is always best to stay calm and do a home test after your missed period.

Haan na, tooth pain is so irritating, especially during pregnancy when we already have so much discomfort. You can put a single clove (laung) near the paining tooth for some temporary relief. But please doc ko bhi dikha lo, self-treatment bilkul mat karna.

Paneer is amazing for protein, especially if you are vegetarian. Just ensure it's cooked properly to avoid any stomach bugs. If you ever feel severe stomach pain or vomiting after eating dairy, skip home remedies and call your doctor immediately.

I completely understand the anxiety of waiting and wanting to test early. During my IVF journey, we had to wait at least 10 to 12 days after transfer for a blood test. One week is too early for urine tests, so please be gentle on yourself during this wait.
