I should not be wasting multiple tests, but with it being my first cycle on Letrozole I’m on the edge of my seat to see how my progesterone does since we chose not to supplement.
This morning I was pretty bummed when it dropped from over 11 to 4.72, even though I know in the rational part of my brain it will fluctuate.
Now my evening test is reading 18.3 😳 have never ever tested past in the 11s.
Blood test tomorrow!
Ecstatic to say the least! I go in on Thursday for a CD21 progesterone blood draw which is the only “monitoring” I am getting for this first round of Letrozole. Then she will decide if I supplement with progesterone next month.
Not only did I get ovulation confirmed but I ovulated 3 days earlier than usual, overnight CD14. Fingers crossed this gives me a longer luteal phase, which previously was running 9-10 days with some spotting.
Great to see this medication working.
Now I’d love to save money and stop testing, but I really want to see how my progesterone trends this week. Traveling for Memorial Day so maybe I’ll give it to Friday and then quit testing after that.
I knew I should’ve tracked my BBT this month
This morning I woke up crossing my fingers that pdg would be >5 (I know there’s still time it could likely be tomorrow). E3g also struggling to rebound after the medication. Will see how this goes!
Made sure to not miss FMU this morning and cross referenced with OPKs. I am actually so elated, I have never geared up to ovulate this early. Hopefully this buys me a few extra days in my LP.
I’ve also never had a surge this high. Fingers crossed progesterone rises naturally after.
My OB told us to bd every other day but I really don’t miss today so might ignore medical advice? Eek. She also told me not to track my cycle anymore to reduce stress (unfortunately, not tracking would prob stress me out more).
I just wasn’t thinking and missed my FMU this morning, then came to work and held for 3 hours to get this result.
It is my first Letrozole cycle, I took from day 4-8. Usually ovulate CD17ish and have luteal phase defect.
I will cross ref with an OPK later but does anyone have an opinion on what could be going on? Totally wasn’t expecting this result - the estrogen is throwing me off. I know this cycle will be very different with the medication but I’m stumped!
Doing Letrozole CD 4-8, progesterone 3dpo onward until period starts and continuing if pregnancy is successful. They want us to BD every other day starting CD11, which is different than how we usually tackle it. I’m used to going O-2,1,0 for the most part.
Feeling hopeful and welcoming any advice! Have never done a medicated cycle before. Mine will be unmonitored by my OB, just me and Inito and OPKs. They will bring me in for a progesterone draw on cycle 3 if nothing is successful.
It is cool to see the FSH already up there.
12th cycle TTC and my first time even remotely seeing anything on one of these tests. Unfortunately my hormones were kind of out of the ordinary this cycle (tracking with Inito) and I’ve had spotting from CD6-CD10, stopped for 11, and it’s coming back today.
Whether this is evap or a sign of a chemical I’m not sure. Very clear line in person but harder to capture on camera.
Blood draw on CD21 confirmed I ovulated per my OB at 9.9, Inito never confirmed. First month on the new strips. Started spotting on 6DPO, 2 days after having a work up done with my OB. 12th cycle TTC. Spotting is very new to me, have only spotted the last 2 months.
Now 11DPO. Spotting stopped yesterday. Pdg rising but e3g lower and BFNs on tests.
Will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. I thought AF was coming days ago… ugh!
