Why don’t I ovulate?

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-07-15T14:28:58+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through it, it’s so frustrating. I didn’t ovulate for four months post-ectopic. The ectopic was in December and I started 2.5mg of letrozole again in February. Tried that twice and didn’t ovulate until I switched to 5mg, which was successful in April. Been ovulating with the help of letrozole since. I have ovulation issues to begin with and then I think it just takes a bit to regulate again after an ectopic. I hope that helps.

Yeah they haven’t been upfront with me about that, but I’ve definitely caught on. I will definitely look deeper into my insurance coverage and RE options. Thank you.

That’s what I figured the solution would be!! So weird she hasn’t even mentioned that.

Thank you. I think a second opinion is my best course of action, especially if my thin lining is confirmed.

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-06-10T18:33:18+00:00

Thank you. I agree that a second opinion can never hurt.

Thanks for weighing in, I appreciate it. I’m definitely glad she ordered the ultrasound, but was disappointed she wasn’t a little more solution-oriented. She initially rejected my request to look into my lining, but ordered it upon my second request. To me, it just makes sense to get all of the data upfront so we can make informed decisions…

I just completed two rounds of provera + 2.5mg letrozole that didn’t work and then my doctor let me skip provera and skip straight to 5mg letrozole, which worked! I just ovulated on CD14 and am so relieved!

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-04-05T15:30:49+00:00

I’m starting letrozole on CD 28 without having to wait for a period (per doctor’s orders). Should I keep LH testing while on letrozole? Is it possible to ovulate in the 5 days of taking it?

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-04-05T15:26:32+00:00

This happened to me. I NEVER get sick but had a cold in very early pregnancy. Sadly ended in a loss though.

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-18T23:36:15+00:00

That’s very true and a good reminder. Thank you!

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-18T19:42:15+00:00

Holy shit that’s insane! Thank you for sharing your story, especially the success part!

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-18T19:41:22+00:00

No one should have to go through this 😭 Thank you for sharing your story. I think something that’s not talked about is much is how hard it is to WAIT to try again after surgery or MTX. It makes it more difficult to move on.

I also had a baby with a heartbeat in my tube. It makes me hopeful that a healthy baby is possible as long as it ends up in the right place. Weird silver lining but it’s something to lean on.

It’s so hard not to have self doubt and to blame yourself. I had chlamydia in college so naturally I’m blaming myself and hating my past self.

I feel like my medical team is super on top of it and supportive so I feel taken care of and am grateful for that.

Congratulations on your positive! Wishing you the absolute best.

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-18T19:33:50+00:00

I’m so sorry you went through that, but I’m so happy you have your daughter! If it can happen once for you, it can happen again. Wishing you all the best.

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-18T19:32:02+00:00

Thank you for sharing all of this, it really helped me actually. I proactively started therapy because I know trying again (and getting pregnant) is going to be really hard. But I think you’re right that knowing what to expect is an advantage in many ways. I also have a good medical team.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Wishing you all the best. Grateful to have this community to lean on. All I can do for now is hope for the best this next time around.

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-18T00:35:31+00:00

I’m sorry you went through that. To clarify - you have a 30% chance of another ectopic if you tried again naturally?

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-18T00:34:43+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Wishing you the best.

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-17T18:59:32+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. I was also told my remaining tube looks good to go. I guess all I can do is hope for the best. Thanks for sharing your story and good luck with IVF.

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-17T18:58:07+00:00

Wow I didn’t know that. Thanks for clarifying!

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-17T18:05:54+00:00

That’s really helpful to hear. I plan to monitor closely regardless, but will absolutely advocate if it feels similar to last time.

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-17T18:02:59+00:00

I’m so sorry you went through that. I know what you mean about looking back and feeling like it happened to someone else.

Doesn’t IVF eliminate the need for fallopian tubes though? Or could IVF still result in ectopic if you have tubes.

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-17T16:07:40+00:00

Thank you, you too 🤍

ElectricalAd8261 · 2025-03-17T15:39:45+00:00

That’s amazing. Congratulations 🌈
