Actually there is no fixed number yaar. Just track your ovulation and try to have intercourse 2-3 times during that fertile week, that is more than enough.

Loose cotton kaftans are a lifesaver, especially when you have massive post-meal bloating from craving too much mango lassi! Go for anything with an elastic waist so you can eat comfortably.

Ideally, test after 5 weeks or when you miss your period. After that, just book an appointment at a good hospital like Cloudnine or Max to get a beta hCG blood test done for 100% confirmation.

My grandmother used to say that when the baby drops, your stomach looks like a pear shape and you feel less heavy near your ribs. She was right, but my doctor also confirmed that it can happen very late for some women. Just go for your regular checkups and let nature do its work.

I understand the eagerness to find out early, but using an ovulation kit is not practical. They are designed for LH hormone, not hCG. Save yourself the confusion and just use a standard pregnancy test strip once your period is late.
