The strong chemicals in pest control can be harmful to inhale, so it's best to stay away. I had thyroid issues during pregnancy, so I was extra careful about any environmental toxins and followed up with my doctor constantly. Ask your doc if herbal pest control is safer.

With PCOS, I realized tracking ovulation was far more important than any specific position. The missionary position is what we mostly stuck to, but don't obsess over it too much. Just focus on your health and cycle tracking.

I tested on day 1 of my missed period because I had zero patience, haha! But day 3 or 4 is safer to avoid that annoying confusion of faint lines when you're already half-asleep.

Looking back, I remember tracking my cycles like crazy. Honestly, both genders are amazing and these kits are only to know your fertile window. Just use it for tracking ovulation and relax, everything will work out.

The main things to avoid are unwashed raw salads, raw sprouts, and unpasteurized dairy because of the risk of listeria infection. Also, limit your caffeine intake and completely skip raw or semi-ripe papaya. Your doctor can give you a personalized diet sheet that is scientifically backed.
