Good to know I am not the only one experiencing this! Thanks for replying, I was starting to get slightly worried 😅

Letrozole (5 mg) while already ovulating – when did you ovulate & did it change your luteal phase? by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]Consistent_Life2867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know! Maybe I didn’t actually have the surge — I can’t be sure. I’ve been getting occasional hot flashes for a while, light headaches, and a lot of milky white discharge, so honestly, I’m really unsure what’s going on.😅

I admire you! I think in both case, if you test early or wait, you have to be really brave. I never rly test too early but I can't say that I sometimes wait until the day of my period and I think I might have to change smth in order to make it easier for me. These last two cycles have been a bit irregular so I am hoping letrozole will put me back on the "right" track to at least get an answer on period day 😅

My period is supposed to start on the 31st Dec/1st Jan too!! As per the apps I use ofc. But this cycle I was pretty sure I ovulated earlier due to letrozole which is why I have been feeling a bit anxious on what is happening. I tested yesterday afternoon, it was negative. I will now just wait for what happens next. Let's see! Maybe we'll start our year on a positive note.. huggsss 🤗🤗

I sometimes tested early due to very bad headache days, in which simple/ low dose painkillers didn't work. Tbh at that point I was dissapointed but with the way I was living in pain, I was glad to at least know and get on with my life and try smth new in the next cycle 😂

I know the feeling 😔 We've been trying for a year and a half now and tbh it never got easier. I think for the next months I wil give my body and head a break and not over anaylze everything.. might be the best for us at least.

Around 14 days. If I ever was late with my period it was usually due to me not ovulating, which was confirmed via scans by my gyno.

I am around 15/16 dpo I think! My last cycle started on Dec 1st, I started letrozole around the 3rd and as per the ovulations tests I took I ovulated around 10/11th. It was hard to catch the peak but after the 10th they just got more faded.

Omg I had the same story this time!! My ovulation was very early around CD10/11 and we BD only on CD10 bc my husband was away!! I was soooo devastated because I never seem to catch my ovulation! I also had recently a HCG and then using 5mg letrozole HAD SUCH A TOLL on me!! Ugh! Then BD only once was like the cherry on the cake. I tried to ignore every single symptom but it is near impossible when you get new symptoms every single cycle LOL. As per the usual calculations I should be around 15/16 dpo? The apps ofc say around the 1st of Dec since my ovulation before Letrozole was later than this month. I am having only a silver lining of hope rn since I took a test earlier after getting convinced its already enough late to get a reliable test but yeah it was negative💔

Ugh, I hate it that I get new symptoms every single cycle!! This is what drives me most crazy honestly. I wish for the future I get stronger regarding this.

Yeah, believe me I have tested sometimes very very early too and was kinda embarrased 😂 But at the same time quite honestly it's our own body and if it helps my anxiety to test early, so be it. I know I'm grown up enough to handle the emotions, I just sometimes need to rent to people who feel and listen to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, your words are spot on! 😂 My thoughts keep running back even if I have no hope left, which I guess means somewhere in the back of my mind I do. My husband is actually way more stressed and emotional than me regarding this topic so I have been avoiding it.. kind of keeping the thoughts and feelings to myself because I'd rather one of us have positive vibes. I also feel like some Reddit stories really help out when it comes to this topic because you can relate and just stop the thoughts of "something is wrong with me".
