My doctor told me that only about 70 to 80 percent of women experience morning sickness. Having no nausea just means your body is handling the hormonal changes very smoothly.

Look, Duoluton is basically a contraceptive pill to avoid pregnancy, so pregnancy won't happen while taking it. If you want to plan a baby, just finish your current pack, stop the next one, and let your body's natural cycle return. Simple as that, but do take doctor's advice.

Let's look at the biology directly to save you some time. Pregnancy requires vaginal intercourse where sperm enters the uterus. Consuming it orally goes straight to your digestive system, so absolutely zero chance of pregnancy here.

I just delivered my baby and had gestational thyroid issues during my pregnancy. My doctor told me that pregnancy hormones cause the thyroid to produce more hormones, which sometimes causes a spike in TSH. It's super common and easily managed with daily medication, so don't worry.

I started noticing them around week 26, especially when I was dehydrated or sitting at my office desk for too long without moving. My practical advice is to keep a water bottle next to you, set an hourly reminder to stand up, and change your position. If they stop when you walk around, they are definitely Braxton Hicks.
