A typical pregnancy is 40 weeks long, which is about 9 months and a week! 280 days total 🤰 It goes by so fast, so enjoy every week! 💕

I am also planning my pregnancy right now and had a similar doubt. My doctor said medications like citalopram don't change your hCG levels, but do let your doctor know you are trying to conceive.

I am in my second trimester and I've already had three scans so far, including the big anomaly scan last week. I was so anxious before each one, did anyone else feel that way? My doctor says these are standard, but how many scans are you all having?

Serum progesterone is usually checked to see if the pregnancy is being supported well, but the actual diagnosis is done via beta hCG blood tests or an ultrasound. It is best to let your doctor guide you on which test is necessary. Don't worry about trying to self-diagnose from individual hormone numbers.

Haha, this is a tech question! It comes from the words Integrated and Electronics. During my first trimester, my morning sickness was so bad that even looking at my computer screen made me throw up, so I stayed far away from Intel!
