Implantation itself takes about 6 to 12 days, so testing after 1 week is scientifically too early. Wait for your period date or ask your doctor for a beta hCG test if u are too anxious.

I am still pregnant with my first, but my MIL was just discussing this the other day! Does this mean we have to start birth control immediately after delivery? I should probably ask my doctor about this in my next checkup.

Honestly, as if pregnancy wasn't hard enough, we have to deal with piles too! I spent half my pregnancy sitting on a cushion and drinking water like a fish. Just tell your doctor openly, they will give a safe cream and you don't have to suffer silently.

I have PCOS so my hormonal balance was already tricky, and I often felt flushed. But actual high fever is usually a sign of some infection and not just pregnancy. Please monitor your temperature and contact your doctor if it goes up.

No, the body only produces HCG after successful implantation. I kept up with my light walks to stay relaxed during the two-week wait, which is great if your doctor allows, rather than stressing over early tests.
