Physically, a home pregnancy test won't show a clear result at 20 days from your last period. The most reliable way is to wait for day 30 or 31, or you can get a beta hCG blood test done if your doctor recommends it for early confirmation.

Breast tenderness is one of the classic early signs where even a light touch or wearing a tight bra can feel uncomfortable. Try avoiding underwire bras and switch to breathable cotton ones. It's a very positive sign of early pregnancy!

Since I had PCOS, I was always extra careful with any medicine. Dexorange is commonly prescribed for iron, but never take it without consulting your gynecologist first.

Akhrot is excellent for baby's brain development, but since I had a miscarriage earlier, I was very careful about the quantity. I only ate 2 soaked walnuts a day, as soaking makes them easier to digest and reduces heat. Please don't overeat them, moderation is key.

My mother-in-law always suggests coconut water or buttermilk if there is burning sensation during urination while trying to conceive. But for this specific syrup, please ask your doctor first, it is always safer to trust them.
