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.

Question

Can I use grilinctus syrup and other cold and cough meds while I'm on my period? I'm really worried about taking these during my cycle.

I'm currently 6 weeks and 1 day into my pregnancy, and it happened through IVF. I just found out that my baby's heartbeat is 98 bpm at 6 weeks and 1 day. Is this considered low or is there any risk involved? I'm a bit anxious and would love to know if this is something I should be worried about.
