I am currently planning my pregnancy and have been reading so much about this! From what I understand, light spotting can happen but a full period won't. I always keep a few home test kits ready just in case my period gets delayed even by a day.

For IVF pregnancies, the calculation is a bit different as we count from the embryo transfer date. I remember being so anxious about getting the dates right. Your clinic will give you the exact weekly timeline, so don't worry.

I think my uterus stretching is just making more room for all the pani puri I am craving, haha! Honestly, it starts growing and the blood flow increases, which makes us feel bloated.

Oh, I had such awful morning sickness that I literally couldn't function, so I completely understand wanting to prevent pregnancy until you are fully ready. Please use barrier methods like condoms consistently, or ask your gynecologist to prescribe a safe birth control pill. It's so much better to use a reliable method than to stress every single month!

Actually, you should wait till your missed period date, yaar. Testing too early just gives unnecessary confusion with super faint lines. Wait for at least 1 or 2 days after your expected date.
