Hi everyone,

37F TTC for a year. My biggest issue is that my follicles are either not growing properly and I’m not ovulating naturally.

I’ve completed **6 cycles of letrozole**, and honestly, I don’t want to continue with it. It has affected me in multiple ways, and I’m hoping to see if there’s anything else I can do to support natural ovulation.

So far I’ve made these changes:
Drinking 2.5L of water daily
Taking inositol after lunch
Following a gluten-free, dairy-free, no added sugar diet
No coffee or tea (only decaf about 3 times a week)
Yoga twice a day + 30-minute walk every day
Taking NAC

A few things to note:
My vitamin D, B12, and iron levels are now in a good range.
I don’t have insulin resistance.

For anyone who struggled with poor follicle growth or anovulation, **what actually helped you?** Did anything (lifestyle, supplements, acupuncture, medications, etc.) make a difference, or did you eventually need to move on to other fertility treatments?
I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thank you! ❤️

Concerns: My testosterone levels are little high, high AMH 11

Please help what can i do to ovulate and also grow the egg to proper size.

Hi all,

I am new to this sub and this is my first pregnancy. I am 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Today was my first ultrasound and there was visible gestational sac and yolk sac.

Gestational sac aged 5 weeks and 5 days, however Fetal pole was not visible yet. Doc said it’s normal and has asked to visit her again in 2 weeks (around 7w3d) to check fetal pole and heart beat.

I have heard few youtuber having additional ultrasound done, however I am not sure about this.

What are your thoughts?

I have been having some weird cycle symptoms.
The first two days, I have light and medium flow. Then on 3rd day, no flow. On 4th day, again light bleeding (not spotting).

Has anyone experienced this during TTC journey?

Hi,
I wanted to make this post to whosoever it helps. Just trying to help my ladies.

Letrozole apparently dries body’s natural cervical mucus( an important aspect that’s needed for the sperm to reach its destination) this wasn’t mentioned by my doc but I also read online on many platforms. I’m not saying you need to blindly trust my information, it’s always good to have an alternative which can help and doesn’t harm either way.
So, it’s better if you can use a fertility friendly lube like preseed or conceive plus to mimic cervical mucus in your ttc journey if you are trying actively.

PS: my personal experience /observation with letrozole, I hardly had any cervical mucus once I started which I majorly used as a sign to track ovulation. My ovulation dates were tracked only by scans. Every body is different, my CM was definitely dried up.

Hello everyone,

First time mom here and 4 weeks pregnant. My doctor is extra chill. He is fantastic but being a first time mom, I am not as chill.

How frequently did you go to your doctor for various scans/checkups? I will be going for my early placement scan because of previous ectopic. Then heart beat and then NT? That’s it in the first 12 weeks?

What am I missing? Any additional blood tests? He said don’t waste blood.

And only folic acid medication for now. Please help a mother out!!

TIA.

Hi guys can you all suggest me a good supplement available in India which would help with overall sperm health.
My husband’s Semen analysis came back pretty good, except that his volume is too low (1ml only). My doctor was not concerned as rest of the things were good.
But we think we should try a supplement and see if it helps.

I recently had a D&C, and because I have a history of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), I’m not planning to try again this cycle.

The waiting period is frustrating because it feels like there’s not much that can be done immediately after a D&C. Many investigations can’t be done until hCG returns to baseline or after a menstrual cycle.

For those who’ve been through this, what did you do during this waiting period to prepare for your next pregnancy?

I’m looking for things like:
-Tests or appointments you scheduled.
-Lifestyle or nutrition changes that helped.
-Did you undergo an egg retrieval in the first cycle after your D&C, or did you wait?
-Did you do any preparation specifically for IVF during this time? I’m leaning towards IVF, so I’d love to hear what you did before starting.

I’d especially love to hear from anyone with RPL or multiple losses, but all experiences are welcome.
Thanks in advance ❤️

BFN on 14dpo/dpiui, this morning. Tested using easy@home based on recommendations in this sub.
This was my second IUI. Unable to process thoughts..
I’m 32F, husband 35M.
IUI report looked normal. 4% morphology, 94% motility. 21mm follicle.

Few days back I got to know a friend of mine in TTC was pregnant. While I’m happy for her no doubt, I just feel disheartened that it’s not happening to me. And I’m left behind in the race of life.

I don’t know what to do.. should I change my doc? Go to IVF? Or just give up any hope of ever conceiving. I can’t even type this without crying

I don’t feel like talking to anyone. I don’t want to go to work and fake smile and mingle with anyone. I don’t want to talk to my family or husband.
I don’t know … I’m sorry I’m unable to articulate also what I’m feeling or going through ..
I just don’t know what to do or how to move forward from here

Bough two Apollo pharmacy testing kits and preganews as well. Apollo pharmacy gave one invalid and one positive. Two days later preganews gave us negative. But in order to get clarity we went to check Blood HCG and it came back negative. So I suggest all buy atleast 2 brands from different shops and test together.

Hi everyone, I took letrozole from CD3-7 and went for an ultrasound on CD13, follicle was too large around 29mm and endometrial line was 11 mm. Doctor gave me trigger and asked to try for two days. My LH test was negative. After 3 days doctor gave me progesterone to eat.
I read on internet that 29mm is too large and not optimal for pregnancy, I wonder why doctor suggested me the trigger if this cycle is not good.
I have also taken multiple letrozole previously for CD5-7 (1 miscarriage) and it never reached to this big. Any suggestions or success?

34 F had one chemical back in January . Conceived this month again .
Opk peak on cd 13 29th may .
First positive on 15th june
Beta was done on 16th June came as 101
Second beta was done on 18th came back at 159.9 (43.5 hours )
I started spotting and cramping on 19th. Beta was done on 20th June came back at 136. Spotting stopped
I stopped my progesterone thinking periods might come .
Scan was done on June 24th nothing was seen on screen. Just thick endo at 10mm

Repeated beta on 28th thinking it might have fallen because I still didn't get my period .
Reports came back 29th had a lil spotting no cramps before results . Beta came back at 1505 .

Now I am very scared what if is this is ectopic . Husband is saying to not think negative but all i have read is bad news .

I am going to the doctor today . I have also stopped my progesterone tablets also I think my doc will be mad at me. Because she had said to do test only after 2 weeks I was doing tests for my own sanity .
I don’t know what is happening with me 😔💔

UPDATE : My OB isn’t worried or isn’t alarmed , she says to stay put and don’t have to do any scan for another 1-1/2 weeks . For my sanity she said I can do another beta just that .. She said even if it’s ectopic it can be treated .. She is of opinion I must have conceived late. But I didn’t I tracked my ovulation through opk and baby danced accordingly not after

My wife have PCOD and her periods are irregular.

This cycle after 7 days of missing periods she checked for pregnancy but it was negative.

We were then waiting for periods but it was not happening, so after 12 days we went to doctor.

She first checked for pregnancy and it was positive. She sent us for scanning , but in scanning doc said that it was not pregnancy it was because of PCOD.

Could it be possible that it was a chemical pregnancy??
