What Is a 2 Finger Test in Pregnancy? - #60989
I am really worried about my menstrual cycle lately. it has been super irregular, and I'm trying to figure out how to start pregnancy planning. I mean, I always thought it would be easy, but now I’m stressing about whether this is normal or if I should be doing something specific. Like, how do I even start planning for pregnancy when my cycle is all over the place? I read about this 2 finger test in pregnancy, but I honestly have no clue what that’s all about. It feels overwhelming!! Also, sometimes I wonder, is 35 too old to have a baby? My friends say there's a “deadline” and it makes me anxious. I don’t want to rush into things, but I feel like I should take action while I can. I just don’t know if I need to see a doctor or do something natural first. Like, should I change my diet or start herbal remedies? I have been looking up stuff about Ayurvedic approaches, but what exactly should I be doing in this situation? It’s so confusing, and I really want to get it right. Any advice would be super helpful!
