[barkingtreefrog]

All elderberry grads welcome and anyone who fills berry criteria: ttc #1 a long time now finally bagged that elusive bfp, over 30...

Come join the next stage of the journey and compare sickness reports!!

Ahh lovely!

Why are everybody's beans facing the other way to mine?! Is mine skewiff or sommat?

Yep, you've got a mirror image baby in there Thunder!

What does it mean boom
Are we doomed to be topsy turvey??

I made my profile private again as I feared it might out me!

I just Doppled and heard the heartbeat!! Amazing!!!
Feel ridiculously chuffed

Ooh missed lots of excitement this afternoon... congrats Kat glad you are feeling better and a lovely pic. And thunder how exciting to hear the heartbeat on the backtofront baby

I sense I'm going to get a reputation for this

Thunder a backtofront baby might mean a sneeze birth, then you will be all smug pants!

Sorry to intrude, just wondered, has anybody heard from Tally?

Nope not since she was on the berry thread.
And not an intrusion at all, we are keeping a corner all ready for you

We've asked a fear her a few times and in the past she's just popped in and updated us- same as on the berry thread. Hope she's ok. Last time she was here she was bored in hospital but had seen a heartbeat on a scan, so that was a good bit of news from her.

Fair, not fear......

Hi guys! Well day 2 of knowing I'm pg went better than yesterday! Feeling much better today! Still no tender boobs or morning sickness! I know it's crazy but I wish I could just be sick once (just so that I know this is real)

kat and1 well done on scan! Will go and looks now!

Is snacking people on the same spectrum as lunching them?!

Don't worry kitty, you'll be feeling like shite in one way or another soon enough....!

Sorry meant poppy not and1!

thunder haha I forgot about that!

Oh berries...question!

I know that exercise is fine especially if you're already used to it. However, during my iui my nurse told me not to do anything but walking, not even yoga. What do you think about now? I'm 4+1

I reckon give her a bell, kitty and ask. Ordinarily I would be quite blasé about it and say yeah, crack on, but now I wonder if being cautious does might have merits, even if its just for peace of mind.

So give her a bell if you can. Did she say the reason for avoiding exercise before now?

Thunder No, just assumed it was to avoid any disruption to implantation. My sleep is terrible atm so putting it down to not exercising (and excitement!)

Had to do another test this morning..that's normal, yeh?

Blind I kept testing for weeks!
I have heard of lots of IVF/IUI people being advised to take it easy and no exercise. I think its a caution thing and personally I would rather do nothing in the first tri than take the risk. But as thunder said, given them a ring and check

Who is next for appointments/scans?

blind the sleep thing could well just be pregnancy unfortunately. I think a lot of us are sleeping badly. What about taking a brisk walk in the evening just to use up a bit of energy and clear your head.

I know it must be difficult when you are used to exercising a lot. I think barking's bad news plus my previous miscarriage makes me think taking it easy and therefore avoiding all possible doubt that you're doing too much is best. But they do say carry on as normal as you said....
What about swimming?

My next appt is 7th oct- 16 week appointment even though I'll be 17 weeks then. Ages away!
