Sad, though maybe I should just be thankful 😓

After 3 rounds of letrozole, all failing to make me ovulate, I finally got a mature follicle 2 weeks ago. It was bitter sweet in that my lining was just under 6mm, and I feared even if I were fortunate enough to fall pregnant that my body wouldn’t make it past the first trimester.

Even still, I was so happy to have finally ovulated, and was excited every morning to take my temperature and see the high post-ovulation bbt.

A week after ovulation it was confirmed by bloodwork, and off I went to my final 7 days of my TWW.

This morning, before heading to my RE for a beta test to confirm pregnancy, my temperature dropped dramatically and I’m all but certain I’m out this month.

I feel a bit foolish to feel so sad and disappointed. I told myself to just be happy that you’re finally IN the race, and to not worry about winning it just yet. I told myself maybe it was a good thing not to get a BFP this month, since the lining wasn’t thick enough for confidence. I told myself it would be good to get a baseline cycle to have for reference. But, deep down I thought maybe I’d be so lucky to get this baby on our first real chance at it. 😔 Not this month.

Rant over.
