@thisisouryrfx18 ahhh I'm really hoping it is but not getting myself excited just in case! I will test again soon😁😁

lolacola13 · 24/04/2018 09:50

So you guys I'm cd 4... period finishing here today. Just wondering any of you know of something's I should b doing during the follicular phase to ripen those eggs up good n proper and boost that lining . Feel like I need to be doing something productive in the wait for ovulation .

TwittleBee · 24/04/2018 10:04

susso that is such a clear line! Cannot mistake it. But if you are worried go grab a CB test or something?

susso · 24/04/2018 10:07

I'm sooo confused, just been to the toilet and there's red blood, like I've just came on my period😩 WTF!!

lolacola13 · 24/04/2018 10:09

Awwww @susso ... I would cautiously do another test whilst being careful not to get hopes up or down

TwittleBee · 24/04/2018 10:10

lolacola13CD5 here for me and AF just finishing up today I reckon. So we are entering the fertile week together haha. I agree with you that feels like we should be doing something useful.

Decided this cycle I am just gonna try and take it easy though as past few I feel like I've been a bit intense on dieting and cutting out stuff which I feel has actually just made me stressed. Got a Dr appointment at 4pm this afternoon about everything so FX it helps.

susso · 24/04/2018 10:12

@lolacola13 yeah I still will retest just confused now!! But Defo not thinking anything of it now, gutted 😞xx

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 24/04/2018 10:17

@susso fx for you - definitely looked good on the test so hopefully no issues now with the bleed. Could be lots of things...

@lolacola13 I tasked myself with eating loads of high iron foods during follicular phase to get a nice big lining 😂 and then between O and implantation ate pineapple core. Not saying they will work or if it's coincidence but that month I got my BFP. Fx for you!! Xxx

TwittleBee · 24/04/2018 10:19

susso oh now what! that is so confusing! But could be many things like Goldilocks said. super FX for you Flowers

susso · 24/04/2018 10:21

@GoldilocksTheGraceless yeah could be lots of things I will just retest and see! Thanks 😘

@TwittleBee so confusing isn't it!! Thank you 😘

Cakelaur · 24/04/2018 11:11

Yay!!!! @susso defo a line!! Grab a frer! That'll tell you for sure. But I'd say congratulations is in order

thisisouryrfx18 · 24/04/2018 15:47

@TwittleBee @GoldilocksTheGraceless hey hey... just catching up ... af finished I am cd 4...feeling a litttle bit loopy today.. Very very hormonal . Snappy and started a totally unavoidable unnecessary argument with oh ...thanks for the tips re something productive to do whilst waiting for ov period , I am not a fan of red meat at all in fact I could go months without eating it I do take a supplement and had bloods done recently never been anaemic. It am going to try get even more iron . I heard pumpkin seeds are good and trying some more leafy greens . I'm a real fusspot this will take some work xoxo how r u guys?

lolacola13 · 24/04/2018 23:27

Sorry to double post but @thisisouryrfx18 I didn't know ur early pos was on a digital? Was that recently. That's soo shit! Big hugs . U poor thing. Are we all just finishing af then together 😂👍🏻😁

TwittleBee · 25/04/2018 08:22

lolacola13 take your iron tablets with orange juice as you need Vit C to help your body absorb the iron Smile something my Dr told me when I was prescribed them.

Had my GP appointment yesterday to talk to her about my concerns regarding how bad my periods are and pain around ovulation too. She said it does sound concerning that I have to change tampon and pad every hour on my heaviest day along with the crippling pain. So She is sending me off for swabs and ultrasound scans over next 2 weeks then once she has those results back we can look at next stages. She said that she isn't surprised I haven't got pregnant yet if my cycles are as crap as they are etc but she said I've gone in at the right time to get ball rolling at least.

Cakelaur · 25/04/2018 08:40

@TwittleBee I'm glad they're going to look into it for you. At least you can get some answers.
@susso have you retested babe?

OP posts:
thisisouryrfx18 · 25/04/2018 12:47

@DaisyMay25 thats exciting! Ooh i couldnt wait til fri but then thats why i waste soo much money on tests lol

OP posts:
TwittleBee · 25/04/2018 12:50

susso so so so sorry Flowers such a disappointment when AF turns up after a positive test (why I have vowed never to early tests again now Sad ) Hope you have a good restful and full of treats period. FX for you

DaisyMay25 exciting times, FX it is a sticky BFP coming your way

thisisouryrfx18 bless you, it is tough hearing people's pregnancy news even if you are super happy for them. Just makes you question your own conceiving issues more. FX that FF helps you and BBT does show you are ovulating

DaisyMay25 · 25/04/2018 12:51

@thisisouryrfx18 haha I know, I might take one later, I've got like 50 ic so there's no harm just not gonna waste a frer until Friday
