I feel like my PDG is pretty low for being 9DPO. Is this normal or should it be higher? Obviously hoping for pregnancy this cycle but the lower PDG isn’t making me very hopeful.

Hi everyone. This cycle has just been weird for me so I’m wondering if these fluctuations in my PDG are concerning? I know PDG releases in pulses but it still kind of seems all over and I haven’t had a cycle like this before.

In the past I’ve always used Letrozole and a trigger shot and my PDG would get to 49 usually at some point. This cycle I just used Letrozole and naturally ovulated.

Any insight or someone with a similar situation still end up pregnant?

Hey all! I posted here last week after being told during my CD15 follicle scan check that the 2.3cm “mature follicle” that they saw on my scan was probably a simple cyst. They came to this conclusion because I did have a cyst like structure at my CD3 scan AND they test my blood estradiol levels on CD15, which was only at 101. CD4 I started 7.5mg of Letrozole for 10 days.

So because of my previous cyst and my lower estradiol levels my doctor didn’t want me to waste a trigger shot that night and just wanted me to track with OPKs the rest of the week. Well, I also track with Inito and Natural Cycles, so I have a bit more info…

My scan and blood test were around 8AM. Around noon I took my first Inito of the day, which is the giant spike in EG3 you see. And I think I also had a positive, or SUPER close to positive OPK at the same time but I’m not 100% certain.

Do y’all think I actually did ovulate and the 2.3cm structure they saw on my scan was actually a mature follicle that released on its own and not a cyst despite my lower estradiol number?? I know yall aren’t doctors but I feel like my Inito chart looks promising for ovulation but I’ve only ever tracked with Inito when using a trigger shot, so I’m wondering if that’s why it looks different than my past cycles… I’ve never had an EG3 number that high and my LH didn’t spike very high this time.

First photo is this cycle, second photo is a couple cycles ago that were the result of Letrozole and Ovidrel.

Hi everyone. Just posting here to see if anyone has experienced something similar.

I have PCOS, and took 7.5mg of Letrozole starting on CD4 and I took it for 10 days. Last cycle I had 3 mature follicles on the same regimen.

This cycle on CD3 I had my baseline follicle scan and it showed a 1.6cm simple cyst on my left ovary. My doctor said that was fine and we proceeding with the Letrozole plan. CD15 comes around and I have my mid cycle scan and all it shows is a 2.3cm “follicle” on my left ovary. My doctor had my estradiol checked to see if that would help determine what it was but it came back at only 101 so she assumed it was still the cyst from earlier and not a true follicle.

So, since it was still the cyst she didn’t want me triggering this cycle with Ovidrel and to just track with ovulation strips and see what happens. Assuming it’s just the cyst I’d start provera in a few weeks to start my next cycle and hopefully my cyst will be gone by then.

But, my Inito device confirmed ovulation this morning… and it doesn’t make any sense. Is it just my body messing with the device? My natural cycles app also confirmed ovulation this morning but both decided on different days. And both days didn’t make sense because of my scan being where it was on CD 15, which was this past Monday.

Anyway, anyone have anything similar like this happen? My chart also looks WAY different than it has in the past so I think it’s just my body playing games with Inito and Natural Cycles. Adding my current chart for some visuals.

TW: D&C after miscarriage

On July 4th was my final dose of 7.5mg Letrozole for 10 days, starting on CD4. Had a scan this morning, CD15 and it showed a 2.3cm “follicle”. BUT I had a 1.6cm cyst on CD3 at my last follicle scan. My doctor thinks this is just the cyst and I have zero other mature follicles this cycles. Usually I at least get 2 so I am so disappointed. I track with Inito even though it isn’t the most accurate because of the meds I take but this weeks Inito results are wild, especially because of the EG3 jump today. But apparently my cyst is just producing hormones? My blood draw estradiol was only 101, which is why my doctor thinks it’s still just my cyst, and I believe her about that. I’m just so frustrated with the whole thing. So now this cycle is scrapped.

She wants me to track with OPKs this week and if I don’t get a positive, basically we will have to jumpstart another cycle with Provera and try all the hell over again because I don’t start a cycle naturally without ovulation.

I had a D&C in February after getting pregnant at the end of December. It was my first ever pregnancy and my second suscessfully ovulating round of Letrozole. This was my third cycle since then and I am just SO disappointed. I guess maybe I’m looking for success stories similar to mine or honestly any support in general. Posting my I it chart from this cycle because it’s just wild and I’m having such a hard time with my only mature “follicle” today still being the cyst because this has never happened before.

TW: miscarriage

This was our first cycle since I got pregnant on Christmas this past year but miscarried and had a D&C on Feb 20. I was so hopeful this cycle and everything was looking great but my hormones dropped and I also had a negative FRER this morning 😭 it was a medicated cycle because I don’t naturally ovulate so Letrozole and an Ovidrel trigger shot were both used.

I thought this was going to be our month 😔 my BBT is still high so I’m a little confused by that but I wonder if I’m getting sick? I feel relatively fine though so it’s strange…

I’m not sure I’m up for tracking next cycle. I was just a ball of nerves this entire cycle, although I’m not sure not tracking would make that big of a difference mentally tbh.

TW: miscarriage

I tested negative this morning. This is my first cycle since my D&C for my miscarriage on Feb 20th. I took an early response test this morning and still absolutely nothing. I didn’t test this long with the cycle I conceived so I don’t really have any past data to compare this too. Ugh. This TWW is actually hell on earth.

I’m about 10/11dpo. I took an Ovidrel trigger shot at 1AM on CD15 so should have ovulated 24-48 hours after that.

Any insight or words of encouragement are welcome!

Hi all. This is my first cycle since my miscarriage in February of this year. I didn’t test after ovulation that cycle because honestly I didn’t think we were successful so I didn’t want to waste strips. I’ve been testing after ovulation this time and my estrogen seems low, but my progesterone is high. Do I have any chance with estrogen this low?

I was on Letrozole for a week from cycle day 3 and an Ovidrel trigger shot on CD15 if that matters.
