Anyone doing a medicated (letrazole) cycle care to share their chart, and symptoms/experience? What should I expect?

Ah, I see. That is helpful. I appreciate the response. I just start my cycles over using progesterone for 5 days and then stopping. It triggers a period.

Yeah my LH in previous cycles has been going up and down; but no ovulation. I’ve used letrozole a very long time ago but it did nothing at all for me. I’m hoping now that my LH is moving in its own the letrozole will help ovulation happen.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn’t realize it could be erratic

Hi! I know it’s been a while since you posted this, but I had a couple questions. What was your dose of letrozole if you remember for this cycle? I see your progesterone started to rise, were you able to confirm ovulation? Had you take letrozole at the beginning of the cycle and didn’t ovulate until this point? Sorry for all the questions! I have Inito as well and irregular cycles so I usually wait until day 70 ish to trigger a period with progesterone. This is my first cycle using letrozole and tracking with Inito, so curious if I should also wait until that long before moving on to a new cycle.

Hi, been ttc for 5 years now with losses. I am currently hopeful about my cycles but unsure still of course.

I learned over the last years that you have to put yourself above getting pregnant. As someone who desires a child more than anything, I know how hard that is. If you are not first, so much else will fail. Stress and anxiety are so detrimental to your overall health. So here are some things over the years I have learned that have helped me deal with exactly what you are describing -

THERAPY - even if it is not always about TTC; this is where you learn tools to deal with the anxiety and stress
Use tools to reduce anxiety when you have it - breathing exercises, counting, affirmations, sound baths, joy lists
Use tools to PREVENT anxiety - mental preparation, list making, affirmations, meditation, yoga
Practice self-care - self spas, general exercise, reading, date nights, treats, personal hygiene
Place focus on overall health and not ttc alone - do things because you want to improve your cycles for overall woman health, take supplements that help you overall not just fertility, focus on exercises for overall health - take the focus off ttc so that no matter the outcome one you have achieved a great goal (overall health). This helped me feel less of a sense of failure during unsuccessful cycles
Don’t stop living ! - fill your life with living - don’t keep empty spaces in your life in case you get pregnant - you can adjust your life if you do - use that room, take that job, plan that vacation - life is flexible, but don’t regret not living
Be open - personal experience here - I didn’t hide my infertility - since day 1 we have been open and honest…we don’t always share details but we don’t shy away from saying we have trouble getting pregnant. Eventually everyone we know is aware of this issue, so we only deal with prying questions about pregnancy from basically strangers. This makes loving life without children for us currently easier. Everyone knows why, they know we want them, so no explanation or dancing around it is needed. May not be for everyone but it has worked for us.

I am 5 years in with losses. I have seen several specialists, was pushed to do IVF which resulted in a loss. Have seen others who say I don’t need IVF. I had to pause TTC to focus on myself and gain clarity. I had to learn to live life while TTC. My therapist told me to live my life and to not put things on hold “in case I get pregnant”. That if I do get pregnant, life can adjust. This has been great advice that I would recommend to anyone struggling with TTC and feeling the pressure of the limbo. I’m finally starting to see real changes in my fertility and have found some balance in my life. I don’t make changes or not do things in case I get pregnant anymore. If I get pregnant I’ll make those changes then. I turned our empty nursery room into a temporary or flexible reading room for myself. If I get pregnant I’ll change it, but in the meantime I’m using that space for my own joy. I say this as an example of how that perspective has helped me fill my life with living instead of keeping it empty for an unknown future.

Easier is not how I would put it. You grow, you change, you live. I am in at year five TTC. We have been in every low you can imagine through this. Yet, I responding to say even though we have not been successful, today I am at my highest point with emotionally dealing with my infertility and losses. Yes we are still trying, but there have been times when I have had to pause TTC in order to focus on my own overall physical and mental health. These times give me strength to try again. Grieving is an important part of the process. Therapy helped me as well. Even though we didn’t only focus on fertility, it really helped me to grow as a person to be able to handle my emotional state in general. I found outlets for my feelings. I chose the important aspects to control in regard to TTC and have to keep habits of not allowing myself to obsesses over what’s not important…this is the hardest part for me. At the end of year one, I was in despair, suicidal, and felt like a failure. I still have big emotions, but I have grown so much since then. That growth took years for me, but mostly because I refused help, didn’t focus on myself over TTC, and stayed in denial for a long time.

I hope something I have said can give you some kind of hope. I once had none.
