Don't know what to think

Earlier in the week I had bloods taken because I keep persistently feeling exhausted and nauseous and the GP confirmed today that I have low iron levels so I'm having to take some tablets each day to help with this. The last time I had low iron was when I was pregnant.

The GP wants me to do another pregnancy test tomorrow morning to rule out pregnancy, I did a test on the 3rd May and it was neg. I then had a very short period from the evening of the 5th - 7th May normally mine last 5 days period before that was 6th April for 5 days.

I also OPK tested and BBT last month everything was looking promising until the bleed I had which started last Thursday night. I did think it was weird that it didn't last the usual full 5 days and it wasn't 3 days of full red blood either 🤷🤷🤷

So nervous about this 😬

@allthingssparkly I was wondering how you were getting on ❤ how is everything?

I had something very similar in 2019. I think I even had a thread on it. 3 days of basically spotting when I'm usually the red sea. My next cycle came and went as normal though.

Have your temps stayed as high?

The test I took yesterday morning was neg @RMS0209

Hi @LemonZestDribbles I have felt better to be honest, having low iron levels is persistently making me feel exhausted and sleepy. I started tablets for it yesterday and I'm praying they help.

I'm just going to concentrate on this new cycle seen as yesterdays test was negative. I'm CD10 today and approaching my fertile window so we shall see what happens. Going to try DTD every other day this cycle. Whether or not that will work will depend on how I'm feeling and whether or not I'm asleep 🤣 I'll probably get persuaded by my OH no doubt 🤭

I haven't been temping or OPK testing this cycle I don't think I'm going to bother with either. Hope your ok x

@allthingssparkly I think that's a great approach ❤ just tell dh to be quick about it on nights you're tired 🤣 hopefully the iron kicks in soon too 🤞🤞🤞

Ugh, sending big hugs! Was really excited when I seen your post ☹️ I am CD9 today so we can be cycle buddies this month 💗 x

allthingssparkly · 14/05/2022 07:38

Haha, yes I will @LemonZestDribbles I'm hoping with more of a relaxed approach it will help abit better and take my mind off obsessing over temps and OPK's 🤞🤞 we shall see! x

Ahh thank you so much @RMS0209 at least I have a cycle buddy, we can sure get through this together 🤍 wishing you lots of luck x
