When my cycle was irregular, my mother used to make warm turmeric milk for me and tell me to rest. Hormonal changes or even seasonal changes can cause a delay. Just take care of your health and consult a doctor if needed.

According to most pregnancy and ovulation tracking apps, a qualitative blood test can detect hCG about 10 days after conception. It is much more sensitive than home urine kits which require higher hormone levels. If your app shows you are past your ovulation window, you can definitely get a blood test done for early detection.

Oh god, start of pregnancy is so tricky. I wanted to eat all spicy stuff and junk but constipation said hello in week 5 only! I had to balance my cravings with lots of water and coconut water so my stomach stays happy.

Honestly, it is best to test 1 or 2 days after your missed period. That gives the most accurate result.

Online sites will just show generic symptoms, which is not helpful. It is much safer to do a home urine test after a missed period, and then visit your gynac for a proper blood test to confirm.
