Knowing your exact week is very important, especially if you have thyroid issues like I did, as medication doses need regular adjustment. Count from your last period's first day and make sure you visit your gynac regularly for blood tests. Don't skip those monthly follow-ups.

If you have missed your period and the urine test is negative but you feel pregnant, please go to your gynac. Sometimes kits are faulty or expiration dates are near. A proper medical opinion is always safest.

If your period is already late by a week, an evening test will work fine. But if it's very early, just wait for the first morning urine to avoid getting a confusing faint line. Save yourself the stress and do it first thing tomorrow before starting work.

It just means the beautiful moment your pregnancy starts! Once you conceive, get ready for a rollercoaster of hormones and some crazy food cravings like my midnight ice cream rounds!

Progesterone injections and tablets can make your body feel very warm. It is a very common side effect, so don't worry.
