The most scientifically accurate time is your fertile window, specifically the 2-3 days before you ovulate. If you have irregular cycles, it's best to consult a gynecologist. They can guide you with follicle monitoring if needed.

I literally panicked in my first trimester when I accidentally ate a piece of pineapple at a party! But my doctor reassured me that small accidental bites don't do harm, though we should avoid raw papaya and pineapple. So don't worry too much, just keep them off your plate from now on.

Please be very careful with this. A tiny increase in body warmth is a normal response to progesterone, but a true high fever is absolutely not a pregnancy symptom. Since fever can be risky during early development, please check with your gynecologist immediately if your temperature is 100.4°F or higher.

Hey, honestly, please avoid snuff completely because it has nicotine which is not safe for the baby at all. If you are having cravings, try chewing some fennel seeds (saunf) instead and don't stress too much, you can easily quit this phase!

Because of my PCOS history, my doctor kept a close watch and I had about 5 scans. Usually, 3-4 scans (early dating, NT, anomaly, and growth) are routine. Just stay in touch with your doctor.
