Haha, honestly at week one I felt absolutely normal and had no idea! Though I wish I could blame my sudden urge for late-night samosas on it, the cravings came way later. For now, just eat well and relax.

I tracked all my meds on an app and yes, progesterone is given orally, vaginally, or even as injections. The oral ones can sometimes make you super sleepy, so it's often recommended to take them before bedtime.

My mother-in-law used to say to just track the monthly cycle carefully. Biologically, it starts when the egg gets fertilized during your fertile window. But always consult your doctor to understand your own cycle better.

Same here, they started feeling tender and growing around week 5. Buying soft, wire-free cotton bras really saved me.

Get your body hydrated and eat healthy, balanced meals now. If you get morning sickness later like I did, eating might become tough, so build your nutrient reserves now. Do ask your doctor to prescribe pre-pregnancy vitamins.
