I know the wait can make you crazy anxious, but please skip the sugar test as it is totally unreliable. When I was waiting to test, my anxiety made my early nausea worse. Just do a regular test kit with your first morning urine for the most accurate result.

We tried for almost a year before getting our positive result, and even though my delivery was a C-section and recovery was slow, holding my baby made all that waiting worth it. Stay patient, your beautiful moment is coming too.

We also tried for a few months and tracked the fertile days closely, usually starting from day 10 of the cycle. I felt so happy when we finally succeeded, though later I had to go through an emergency C-section. My recovery was smooth, so just take it easy and enjoy the process.

I totally understand how difficult it is to wait during these anxious days, the suspense is so hard! But testing after 5 days is very early and might lead to disappointment. Give your body a little time and try to test after a missed period, sending you lots of love.

Oh, I remember my doctor warning me about this! Apparently, it can stain the baby’s growing teeth and affect bone growth, which sounds super scary. I am already so tired of tracking what is safe and what is not in this 3rd trimester!
