LH surge

Bridget NZ 🌈🤰

Hey ladies this is my first cycle using letrozole 5mg and i have been using OPKs for the last 6 months or so and never once had a positive, had a surge every month but never enough to get to positive. Anyway I took pills cd3-7 I am now cd16 and have been using OPKs since cd8 and still no positive, I had a surge in cd12 but not enough to be positive. Is there still a chance I ovulated? I have a regular 28 day cycle and will be getting a 21 day progesterone blood test to check for confirmed ovulation I’ve had one before I started medicated cycle and my level was 13….. should I definitely be getting blazing positives while on letrozole? Has anyone has a surge but no positive but still gotten pregnant that cycle? Would love to hear some stories as I just help helpless and so sick of being disappointed every month 😔🥺 I just want my baby ❤️ I’m 34 and this would be my first

On my first cycle with 5mg letrozole with regular natural ovulation anyway so this could be inducing super ovulation for me. Got my peak today so now temping to confirm ovulation then go for 7dpo bloodwork

Have you had a FSH blood test done? It indicates wether you’d eggs are good quality or not which could explain the losses but also your partners sperm too…. Although I’m no doctor 😅 and I assume you have had all the relevant testing done. Baby dust to you, may this cycle be your sticky bean 🥰

We’ve been ttc for 2yrs now and have had 5 losses. We also have a progesterone supplement rx on standby at the drs/pharmacy for when we find out we are pregnant as mine drops insanely fast even while hcg goes up

Can I ask why they have put you on letrozole if you ovulate naturally? Only cos I thought that’s all it does is make you ovulate so am wondering how beneficial it is for you 🤔 it does stimulate the follicles though so maybe something to do with that

It's sucks this TTC. I know the disappointed feeling. Some can still ovulate without catching the peak- so you could have. Do you temp? That might help you catch an ovulation if you just happen to be missing your peak. My peak is fairly short, for instance, if it's over night I'll miss it. Labs don't lie though, so your progesterone level will help to know. If it didn't happen, they can try to up your dose. Good luck, positive thoughts and baby dust 🤞

I got my day 21 progesterone results back and it seems I did ovulate!! So yes I guess I just missed the peak or the tests were no good…. Next cycle (if this one is unsuccessful) I will buy some digital ones 😌
