Hi!!

I just bought the universal inito monitor through Amazon. (Literally just clicked the purchase button)

I’m so so so excited to be able to track my cycle more accurately. I’m 19(I turn 20 in like two weeks) been having some fertility issues already so this will give me some nice insight into other aspects of my cycle.

I’ve been doing a couple rounds of medicated cycles with no avail. I was having a lot of bleeding about a year ago where I’d bleed for like months straight so, obviously I went to the my gynecologist and got put on birth control for a couple months because my doctor said I have borderline PCOS. She said she’s not going to directly diagnose me because I don’t have all the markers through blood results but I have multiple ovarian follicles noted bilaterally on my ovaries.

She said since I had these all over my ovaries, my body was not wanting to select a dominant follicle to release an egg. My partner and I decided to start ttc almost a year ago. (Yes I know we’re young, but we got our shit as together as we can. Please don’t judge this part lol.) I had 3 monthly 21cd progesterone checks that all came up negatively.

So, I started taking clomiphene for a couple of months. Continued getting my 21 day checks, which turned out higher, so I started ovulating. But I still didn’t conceive. She switched me over to Letrozole, which has yielded the same effects so far.

I’ve done the cheapie LH strips inconsistently for a couple cycles and I have NEVER a positive off of them.

Here’s my theory: I believe that I am ovulating at a time my cycle tracking apps is not accounting for. I don’t know if I’m ovulating earlier or later, but I’m super excited to be able to get down to the bottom of this.

I’m excited to be able to detect my ovulation before it actually happens, because it has become frustrating to find out I ovulated but not know when I actually did. It makes timing the baby dance frustrating.

TLDR: I’m just excited for this purchase, and to find out exactly when I am ovulating .

This is probably TMI but me and my (26M) bf have been ttc for about a year now with no luck. I know we’re young but we sought advice from his family and mine (my side has fertility issues). His aunt had something weird that I was wondering if anyone had tested before.

She said that the best way to conceive for males would be to finish a whole whole bunch until you dont think you can anymore, then have sex and finish then too.

His parents also said that’s how they conceived him and his twin brother

I’m wondering if there’s actually any science behind that or if that’s just a wives tale or something.

I’ve noticed when I test with LH strips I never seem to get a positive peak. Even when I’m on fertility medicine and my 21 day Progesterone tests come back with a positive. I’m not sure if im just testing too early or too late, but even when I test from CD10-CD20 I still don’t get a direct positive.

I’m also a little bit confused about the strips. So, they measure your LH surge which comes 24 or so hours before you ovulate. So by this metric, are you supposed to be getting your surge on like CD 14-18 then for a normal 28 day cycle?

I was looking into fertility monitors like Inito too, that measure more than just your LH surge. I know the strips can be helpful to detect it a day or two before you ovulate but I was wondering if anyone else had more luck with the monitors that track progesterone and more, that way sometimes you can see it before the LH surge picks up on the strips.

Inito is also just so so expensive. The monitor itself is like $140 plus the $80 monthly replacement strips. 😵‍💫

TLDR: LH strips don’t always work for me even when I ovulate. And are fertility monitors like Inito worth it?

Does anyone else have a super super low libido?

This might be over sharing and slightly embarrassing but I (19F) gained like 50lbs in a year. Since then I have had literally no libido. Before anyone says anything, I am working on losing that weight already.

Aside from losing it, does anyone have any advice on what like vitamins to take, etc to help that?

We’ve been ttc for like half a year now and my lack of libido has really gotten in the way. Sometimes sex half ass feels like a chore. Something you have to do to have a kid.

I know that there’s a libido vitamin that people sell but does anyone have any recommendations on ways to help that? (aside from losing weight or staying active please because I’m working on that)

I’m sure that everyone has heard of Clomid and Letrozole.

Here’s my experience with them:

I’ve (19F) taken both in the last year while ttc. I started Clomid at the beginning of the year after finding out I hadn’t been ovulating. I had heard a lot about the side effects, the mood swings and hot flashes.

I just want to say, I only ever had one side effect on Clomid. I didn’t have any hot flashes, or mood swings. I just had very painful and heavy periods the 3 months I was on it.

I did have some ovulation cramping the first month I took Clomid, but that makes sense if my ovaries had just starting working again after god knows how long lol.

I’m on my second month of Letrozole now. My last month showed a progesterone result of 13.7 but I did not conceive. The medicine is working, I just thought I had a UTI during a couple of my fertile days. The feeling went away by itself but I didn’t want to risk irritating something if I did have one. So, last month was a doozy but I’m hoping for some success this month.

I have to say I much prefer Letrozole. My periods haven’t been as painful and they only last like 4 days now instead of 5 or 6.

All of this to say,
Both medicines are great and do their job, I just preferred the one that made my shark week easier on me.
