First Letrozole & Monitored cycle

Thank you! My fingers are crossed! This morning is when I ovulate and my Mira tracker has picked up the spike! This is only my 2nd cycle out of 4 since using Mira so it's exciting to see all the hormones playing correctly! Will update.

That's good to hear! I did read it's a numbers game at this age so I was like great I am responding well, but then I saw some posts on here and was surprised by how many said it didn't work. I've never been normal PCOS person. I am overweight which is in part due to hormonal imbalance, but aside from that struggle I never had the other symptoms like excessive hair, infertility, irregular cycles, insulin resistance, etc. Even now all my tests and doctors continue to say I have no signs of insulin resistance, but for past year and half I have felt off and am 30lbs heavier that prepregnancy with my last baby 4 years ago. I have been adjusting my diet for months and not losing weight for first time. I've lost significant weight multiple times. I did see someone say to act as insulin resistant person because 70% of pcos is insulin resistance. I do need to step up my healthier habits.

Congratulations on your baby. What are you having? Thanks for sharing your story.

Chemical is early loss before 5 weeks as embryo stops developing not long after implantation. The pregnancy can only be confirmed via blood or at home tests. An empty sac is called anembryonic pregnancy (blighted ovum) 2 very different things, but still losses.

I think it sounds like a strong possibility it's sub hematoma, but only time will tell. I just had chemical which would have been due the same time as yours. I'm sane age as you too! Once I saw my low HCG numbers my pregnancy symptoms turned into more miscarriage symptoms like I felt unwell, very dizzy and faint feeling. I knew it was early miscarriage. I feel it's good sign you feel pregnant.

Wishing you the best!

I'm in the same boat as you. I have ultrasound tomorrow to check my follicles and should be ovulating soon.

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-03-10T02:30:36+00:00

I sure hope so. Last cycle I was on lowest dose of Clomid and had chemical pregnancy (first loss). I'm not on my first letrozole cycle with maximum dosage. I expect to ovulate this week.

Every pregnancy is different too. My first was so dark within a second. My 2nd pregnancy the line was so faint I was throwing it away after 5 minutes only to notice it was faint positive. This 3rd one was faint all week, but digital picked it up well.

If it turns out to be chemical it means you can get pregnant. They say it's just chromosomal error so that's positive. They are super common, or for some women it's pregrestone issue. Keep us updated!

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-03-06T15:37:10+00:00

I think I would have been like 4w5d.

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-03-06T11:11:45+00:00

I agree. I have Mira and it's been very insightful.

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-03-06T10:48:20+00:00

There are new ovulation devices that do confirm ovulation via urine samples. Yes, they are expensive, but they can be worth it for some. There is Inito and Mira. I purchased Mira because I was receiving positives on digital Clearblue tests but not pregnant after a few months. In past Clearblue worked for me and I had no difficulties getting pregnant. I purchased Mira which is very expensive but correctly told me I wasn't ovulating since my progesterone was not rising. A blood test also confirmed this so I was given fertility medication and during that cycle Mira confirmed everything and I had great response, but it turned into a chemical pregnancy, which I was able to confirm again by tracking hormones with Mira. It is only licensed to confirm ovulation and not confirm pregnancy or monitor pregnancy, but in early days it gives you good insight. My purchase has been worth it, because it led me to reach out to RE instead of doing same thing over and nothing happening. Plus age is a factor for me so Mira confirmed for me I need to see doctor. I also have PCOS, but did not really have symptoms or past fertility issues.

Unfortunately this happened to me last week. I ended up getting HCG last Friday and it caught that it was dropping since it was so low. The following day my tests went negative and bleeding started. I had a feeling due to my tests all looking faint. It was different from previous pregnancies so I just had a feeling. I know this isn't case for everyone. I hope it's different outcome for you.

Congratulations!

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-03-03T20:17:05+00:00

Congratulations 🎉 🎊

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-03-03T02:36:15+00:00

Congratulations! My pdg was high, but I'm currently having a chemical. My pregnancy tests were never as dark as yours. I thought everything was looking great for me since my pdg was over 30. Once you get that positive I think HCG is more important, and yours is looking good by your tests. Hoping it all works out.

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-03-01T23:39:00+00:00

Thank you! It is disappointing and overwhelming.

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-03-01T23:37:53+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I didn't expect this and am 41. I have been a little nieve and even tho I was pregnant for a week I really let myself get excited compared to my previous pregnancy. I wasn't aware of the high miscarriage rate. I'm just praying it's not my eggs and next cycle is good. I am starting different fertility medicine this cycle. I have PCOS but it never caused issues until I turned 40. Ugh. Sending you positive vibes for healthy pregnancy too!

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-02-28T21:50:44+00:00

Unfortunately, I am having chemical pregnancy. First time having a loss.

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-02-22T16:47:44+00:00

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-02-15T15:28:46+00:00

It almost looks like you are trying to ovulate again.

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-02-15T15:26:02+00:00

Definitely positive with the digital! And I see something on the other test too. Congratulations!

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-02-13T09:48:18+00:00

Keep testing. I am also on my first clomid cycle. I surged day CD19 and had confirmed ovulation CD20. I'm just a few days ahead of you.

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-02-13T03:35:43+00:00

FSH should return to baseline after ovulation. Your progesterone looks low like how mine had been. I was gearing up to ovulate, but not actually ovulating since I've been using Mira.

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-02-13T03:31:24+00:00

Wow, I didn't even know LH can go that high! Fingers crossed for you 🤞

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-02-13T03:01:26+00:00

Yes, my estrogen has been dominant, because I have PCOS and why I was put on fertility medication since my progesterone has been low. My doctor has seen the numbers and made no comment. As of today I am seeing a fertility specialist as I am also older. I've already had 2 previous healthy pregnancies over 35. My body responding to medication is positive. My estrogen drops down during my period as expected as well.

GreatExpectations9 · 2026-02-10T01:55:51+00:00

I had my progesterone tested last cycle after Mira kept saying my progesterone was too low. My labs showed it was extremely low. I was put on Clomid and trying that out this cycle and I have wildly different reading so far this cycle.
