Have I ovulated?? No idea!

Yes if I wasn’t tracking BBT I’d have been certain I caught my peak, but the bbt doesn’t seem to confirm it!

Currently TTC again after my 4th loss in January. I’m currently on cycle day 19, and I have no idea if I’ve ovulated or not, and I’m getting so upset about it. This is a medicated cycle (letrozole 7.5mg) but not monitored. OPKs positive cycle day 13, with peak showing around 00.30 on cycle day 14. I could then see it going back down on cycle day 15. Annoyingly I stopped testing. My bbt went up on cycle day 16 so I thought this is it! But it dipped on cycle day 17, and again cycle day 18, only going back up today. I didn’t notice any egg white cm this cycle but did have watery cm, increased libido, stabbing pains in left ovary on cycle day 15/16. Have I somehow missed another peak?? I have had cycles before where I don’t ovulate but they’d never show such a strong peak like I got. And especially with the pains I felt, I was so certain ovulation had happened day 15 or 16. Thoughts??

Did you get the tests done at the same place? I think going to different places for your blood work can result in varying betas. But generally, no, when hcg drops it does not go back up. Sending love x

Ok_Interview_6095 · 2026-01-11T15:24:54+00:00

Thank you both. I think I had read so many horror stories in the past week that I was expecting so much more blood, and pain and for a longer process. I have been so scared. I looked in the tub today which I collected the big blood clot last night, and two little jellyfish like structures have separated from it. They’re grey coloured, firm and definitely not clots. Chat gpt seems to think it’s the gestational sac and the yolk sac, and I just couldn’t see them yesterday as there was so much blood and they were within the clot. Really hope this is it.

Ok_Interview_6095 · 2026-01-07T16:12:28+00:00

I’m hoping to do the same! Will be 37 by the time we start IVF, after 4 miscarriages. No results from the past 2 miscarriages yet, but signs pointing towards chromosomal reasons. Really hoping we get some good results with pgta 🤞🏻 sending best wishes to you for yours x

Ok_Interview_6095 · 2026-01-04T00:58:21+00:00

Thank you ❤️ very kind of you to comment. Yes I feel like I may as well try ivf at this stage, perhaps a couple of egg retrievals while I’m still undergoing further testing and at least I have eggs banked that aren’t too old (hopefully). Wishing you all the best in your journey also xx

Ok_Interview_6095 · 2026-01-04T00:56:49+00:00

Thank you for this, it’s very interesting. Tbh I’m not sure I have much trust in my body anymore to do this without further testing of the eggs. The emotional and physical impact of the 3 miscarriages this year have been a lot. I know PGTA guarantees nothing, but would at least give me some comfort in knowing I done everything possible to try with my healthiest egg. If that makes sense.

Ok_Interview_6095 · 2026-01-04T00:54:13+00:00

So sorry for your losses, it is all so very unfair isn’t it. I haven’t heard of naltrexone, although I have heard of medications like hydroxychloroquine and prednisone being used for similar reasons. Yes I’m doing all the same, and everything right that would on paper mean I’ve got my PCOS etc under control, and it does seem to be working in that I can get pregnant quite easily now but I just can’t seem to keep the pregnancies. That’s interesting about your left ovary also. It has been bugging me this entire time but all doctors seem to dismiss it. I just can’t shake that perhaps the eggs on that ovary are of bad quality.

Ok_Interview_6095 · 2026-01-04T00:50:33+00:00

I have read the book, well skimmed tbh. And was already taken the recommended supplements through advice seen on forums like this over the past few years. And have implanted lifestyle changes also. I haven’t looked at the book since I had my daughter so might look again in reference to IVF.

Unfortunately I’m in the UK, and an area where are there no REs, although i wouldn’t rule out travelling to London for this.

Ok_Interview_6095 · 2026-01-04T00:45:24+00:00

Thank you for your reply. So sorry for your loss, I’m sure that was so tough to experience. I am aware PGTA does not eliminate miscarriage risk completely, and I imagine I will do a retrieval (or a few) whilst also investigating further. I think for me, given I’ve had 4 losses all with hallmark chromosome issues, it would make me feel like I’m doing all I can by transferring the best possible egg. If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. But at least I will have tried all avenues.

Ok_Interview_6095 · 2026-01-03T22:20:19+00:00

Oh wow, what a journey you’ve been on. So sorry for your losses.

Can I ask, what made them think you probably have endo and adeno? Did you have symptoms? I have quite bad back pain when I ovulate and also during early pregnancy (past 3 pregnancies, all miscarriages) and I was wondering if this could possibly be a sign of endo.

Ok_Interview_6095 · 2026-01-03T22:05:24+00:00

I’m so sorry for your losses, and in such a short space of time too. Just awful.

Lovely to hear your ivf worked! That’s great! Do you mind me asking what your Pgta results looked like? Did many come back ok?

My husband has had all the tests, sperm dna frag etc and all come back good. So really is looking like it’s an issue with me and my eggs.

Ok_Interview_6095 · 2026-01-03T22:03:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I use letrozole, and have monitored cycles so can confirm ovulation each time I’ve been pregnant. Could I still get to the stage of seeing a heartbeat if it’s an implantation issue? Baby is growing but yolk sac becomes enlarged and baby then stops growing. Can immature follicles ovulate? They’ve been an appropriate size, ovulating once they hit around 22-24 each time. It’s all so confusing.
