I completely understand how excruciating the two-week wait is, dear. Please try to wait full 14 days before taking a home test. The trigger shot needs time to completely leave your body, otherwise it can cause unnecessary heartbreak or false hope. Keeping you in my prayers.

It's okay occasionally, but try to avoid heavy street Chinese because of the high sodium which causes swelling in feet. I used to make healthy wheat noodles at home with lots of veggies, and then go for my doctor-approved 20-minute walk.

I had terrible leg aches before my missed period and thought my cycle was starting, but I was actually pregnant! Did anyone else feel like their period was definitely coming but got a positive instead? It is so confusing.

Oh yes, estrogen is sky-high, which is why we get that glowing hair but also crazy mood swings! With twins, I felt like my hormones were on double speed. Totally normal part of the journey.

Looking back, those early weeks were filled with so much worry, especially with the mild cramping that lasted off and on for a month. It usually resolves on its own as the pregnancy stabilizes. Just make sure to rest, and definitely contact your doctor if the pain is sharp.
