Update on me - there is no update 😂 CD20, not even a sniff of a positive OPK and no temp rise. Will have bloods done in the next couple of days. Gynae appt on 16th Sept is the plan xx

@Lollol86 I'm also trying to limit housework. But really what is no no when pregnant ? Cleaning toilets right ? What else ?

Right guys I swear I could feel baby moving even oh felt it now I'm freaking out cause we saw belly move. I'm only 8+3

Thank you @Pugprincess @MrsK21 and @Wishingfornumber2 for luteal phase advice, that's reassuring at least! Fertile week can't come (pun?) soon enough 😂

@Wishingformumber2 sorry if I missed it, what is it you're discussing with your GP?

@HopeForRainbowBaby those are some lovely clear positives! Thank you also for all the advice, I might pick up some pomegranate juice during the weekly shop, it surely can't hurt. Hopefully this is the lucky one for you 🤞

I've just been for a quick run (more like a brisk walk with this AF cramping!). It's actually really warm out, and I ended up feeling dehydrated. As I walked past a narrow rubbish-strewn side street I caught sight of a bramble peeking over the fence, full of gigantic, juicy looking blackberries. I picked one and ate it, and it was so sweet, so delicious, it revived me straight away. As I ran on, I thought about it and- maybe it's just hormones- started feeling a bit emotional. Maybe it's because the blackberry made me think about things growing out of bleakness where you don't expect them to, about things coming to you unexpectedly when you need them, about things in the world having their own rhythm. Either way, I'm glad I got out today.

Aw well done @scrambledeggy.
Sensitive tests look great @HopeForRainbowbaby.
I wish my husband will do all the housework lol. I ordered a lighter stock type vacuum to do hard floors before I mop but I’m skipping that today with my spotting. I’ve loaded and unloaded dishwasher and made my breakfast/lunch. I put washing machine on but il ask hubby to hang washing out for me and I won’t carry laundry basket atm. I want hubby to use our heavy hoover to do carpet upstairs and on stairs and rug in living room though. I have plants to plant in garden but daren’t sit digging with a hand shovel at the moment either. Need to take my recycling out 😩

@HopeForRainbowbaby I'm trying to avoid lifting anything and cleaning anything where I directly inhale fumes such as the shower and bath x

@scrambledeggy I haven’t got pregnant again since my mc in July 2018 and my last two cycles have been long at 41 days so want to speak to a dr to get things checked out.

Rather confused didnt even finish typing wanting to know if anyone experienced such before.

@DBTJ is it the muscle twitches or something really like inside? Cause I see my belly twitching a lot xx

@Lollol86 maybe we should wear the corona face masks when cleaning 🤔 hadn’t thought about fumes too much. Not that I go mad. But I do zoflora in kitchen, flash in bathroom? Pine toilet gel...

@Wishingfornumber2 Ah I see, I hope you get taken seriously and that you can get things moving

@Pugprincess this was me feeling something moving so put my hand and felt it then sat still and watched i never new it can happen so early. Was a lil freaked out

@Pugprincess any chance you have an erosion on your cervix? Just with bleeding after smear. That could be causing the bleeding. If thats the case, a speculum exam will confirm it and might alleviate your concerns. Unfortunately when you mention left or right sided pain combined with bleeding they have to rule out an ectopic. A speculum shouldn't cause any trauma

@DBTJ oooo bet that was lovely. I had a google and some say not possible but others say yes possible. Apparently it depends on where they are attached etc and how in tune you are with your body. Others say if you’re really slender you might feel more too. Xx

@Pugprincess dh is taking over the cleaning for a little while, but I know it will stress me out as he won't do it to my standards 😂 but a face mask would do the trick in preventing you in hailing the fumes XX

@scrambledeggy my periods have been awful since my MC. Really heavy and clotting. I'm taking aspirin now and I've read up on fertility massage. Apparently heavy periods with clots aren't a good sign so a lot of homeopaths recommend massage to stimulate circulation. They also recommend walking and cycling. I'm going to try everything!

@DBTJ you won't be able to feel baby moving yet unfortunately. Baby is about 15mm long so the size of a raspberry with lots of fluid around it. More than likely just digestion or gas internally you feel. You will get there though! People can feel movement from as early as 16 weeks xxx

@chloedancer897 yes there’s definitely a chance it could be that. I was trying to tell myself it was that last MC though 😔 altho that brown got very dark like chocolate and darker dark if that makes sense. I just didn’t even have any discharge by that point it was just watery brown that would even drip on floor when I stood up from toilet and was coming out into bowl as I did a wee. X

@Lollol86 oh wow yes the standards arghh I wouldn’t cope 😅🙈 I’ve sent him to do the food shop tho 👍🏻

@Pugprincess it's so hard because of your history but everything sounds so positive so try to not think about your past experiences too much (easier said than done). The pregnancy tests are so reassuring and it really could just be an erosion. If you get the speculum exam it might be comforting to know what's causing it and reduce the stress a little. And the spotting now sounds much different than your previous experience x

@Pugprincess @chloedancer897

Yea I have read it aswell some say you can't some say you can. It was just weird cause oh felt it and it last for a lil while. Midwife rang me about another thing and I mentioned it to her she said if you had previous child then yes its likely to be movement

@chloedancer897 lol I wish I was eating to digest something

@Pugprincess good work, I hate food shop, we always do close o and collect or delivery now.

@DBTJ aww I hope I can get to that stage ❤️
@Lollol86 we use Aldi so cant do either click/collect or delivery 😩 would dread to think how much we would spend elsewhere. This healthy eating malarkey is expensive...

@Pugprincess I hope it has stopped for good now so that you aren't so worried.

@HappyVibes yeah definitely and plus you are only in fertile window from when it starts flashing. So don't wear yourself out too quickly 😆😆 xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby this is amazing news!! So so happy for you. How are you feeling? Wishing you a happy, healthy 9 months ❤️

@2020wish enjoy your weekend!!

@MichT4 looks gorgeous there, hopefully you're permanently on the alcohol free prosecco! 😍

@Wishingfornumber2 I'm not sure if the calc would have caused that as I don't think it thickens the lining. It just supports implantation. (I might well be wrong). I'm glad you have an appt though! Xx

@DBTJ oh I've not heard of that so early on, but everyone's bodies are so different, could have been things stretching etc 🥰 xx

@DBTJ sorry to hear you're not eating. Hope that passes soon. Are you very sick?
