It is not reliable to determine pregnancy by checking your pulse. While some changes in heart rate can occur during pregnancy, they are not specific or consistent enough to confirm pregnancy.
Key points to consider:
-
Pulse changes: Pregnancy can cause a slight increase in resting heart rate, but this varies widely among individuals and can be influenced by many other factors like stress, activity, or illness.
-
Reliable methods: The most accurate ways to confirm pregnancy are through home pregnancy tests that detect hCG hormone in urine, or a blood test and ultrasound performed by a healthcare provider.
-
When to test: If you suspect pregnancy due to missed periods or other symptoms, taking a pregnancy test after a missed period is recommended.
-
Consult a doctor: For confirmation and prenatal care, visiting a healthcare professional is important.
In summary, checking your pulse is not a dependable method to tell if you are pregnant. Using a pregnancy test and consulting a healthcare provider are the best steps to take if you think you might be pregnant.

Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.

I've been having this white, thick vaginal discharge, and sometimes it looks like cottage cheese. It's been really itchy, and my clitoris hurts a lot. I've been dealing with this for about five months now. Even though I've taken medication, nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and how can I actually get rid of it?
