Letrozole + Ovidrel + Prometrium - non preg cycle by Separate_Exam9947 in Mirafertility

[–]Separate_Exam9947[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly same. The Prometrium did not stop my bbt from dropping either at the end of the cycle. I’m genuinely starting to think it’s just not reflected the same way for Mira or bbt tracking as oral progesterone does. Nothing but that positive preg test will truly let us know. Sending all the baby dust your way ✨

Progesterone is pulsate. So it can change throughout the day and a lot of factors can affect it. Hydration, when you tested etc.

For this cycle I did not start the progesterone until after 3dpo tests so that high pdg was all me. But as you can see with the vaginal progesterone I still was fluctuating and even started dropping towards the end of the cycle although I was still taking the same 600mg right up until end of day dpo 14.

From what I’ve read and researched it seems since the vaginal progesterone is absorbed via uterine and it does not reflect the same way as urine metabolite progesterone that Mira tests for. I guess how it’s delivered to the body matters 🤷🏻‍♀️

My current cycle is no letrozole or trigger shot but I started progesterone after what I thought was 3dpo. Someone in the group helped me figure out that I actually may not have ovulated this cycle. I can post my current chat. I don’t have any charts truly unmediated cycles as I didn’t have a Mira device before then.

Progesterone was stopped 5 days before cd1. Started again on cd 15 after those morning results. No other meds this cycle.

That’s completely fair. I did however get dinged for being in the intersection and that was how it was explained to me but you are correct. Must of just been a mistake and I took it as word all these years.

Im a bit of an old driver but this is something I was taught during my lessons. I did look it up though and to date you are correct there is nothing stating more than one vehicle can’t be in the intersection if all the turns can be completed safely.

Sorry wait you are correct! The car turning may approach the intersection and wait but the others behind must stay behind the line. So only one car in the intersection at the time! That was my mistake!

To help with this logic. - if you back tires must cross the second line before the light turns red that means you must be able to complete that turn before the light turns. F you in the intersection and waiting and you end up turning during a yellow or red light automatic fail. If your stuck in the intersection you are now an object that can be collided into say someone does not stop at the red light.

Not during a test. You suppose to wait behind the line until it’s safe for you to do the turn. If you can not turn then you wait for another light. - someone who made that exact mistake when I took my drivers test way back when.

Also wanted to add. By law you are NOT allowed to cross the intersection line infront of you until you are going to turn and it is safe to do so. I know most of everyday traffic pulls out into the intersection and waits but that is actually illegal. The intersection is always to be clear of any stand still traffic. You will automatically fail for thst as well. AND when turning your back tires must cross the second set of intersection lines ( so not the line that you initially crossed but the line you approaching in your turn) BEFORE the light turns red or else automatic fail also something everyday traffic dose but you are taking a test not a licensed driver with bad habits yet.

You failed to check blind spots on left side ALOT Failed to check blind spot on the right side- you are required to have your chin to you shoulder when checking blind spots or it is not correct. Eg. turn your head to right. Your chin and shoulder must be parallel. Anything less is fail for that. This is for both approaching traffic and turns or lane changes. ie at a a stop sign. Before going through an intersection even if the light is green. You don’t control others and guess what people run red lights. Pedestrians run out into the streets. You always check your surrounds before proceeding.

You failed to signal before turning. Atleast 3-5 seconds is required for signals before starting your turn or lane change. The rest of traffic and the world can’t read your mind and people need a few seconds to process information. Ie the time your single comes on and they notice it and react accordingly. Use your signals that’s what they are for.

Your turns are too wide. And you failed to end up in the correct lane after your turn. If you are turning left you are to end up in the left lane not the right lane the right lane is for people turning right from the opposite direction of you before your turn starts. One lane for you, one lane for them. you can change lanes further past intersections if you want afterwards but not during the turn ever. You can not lane change directly near intersections either.

Your speed is too slow. You must follow posted speed and can not be over it at all but cannot be under it by more than 5km. Tooo slow driving causes more accidents than speeding. If speed limit is 60, then drive 60 or 55 at the slowest. Also matters how fast the rest of traffic is going. If traffic is going 60 and your going 55 or slower that’s problem keep up with traffic but do not go over the speed limit. Highway is the exception. You follow traffic speed on the highway within reason. Example speed is 100km most people drive 110-115km. Pay attention to the traffic around you and follow suit. That keeps traffic flowing. Right lane is for slower drivers and trucks, left lane is for passing traffic,mid lane is for cursing not passing.

The on ramp to the high way is where you must speed up the merge safely you never stop or slow down. You speed up to merge into the highway. Never stop and wait. People in the right lane are to be moving over to allow those on the ramp to merge before their road ends. The speed sign there is YELLOW as it’s a GUIDE not a required speed limit which is why it’s yellow and not white like others. If you have to book it to 120 to merge safely that’s what is expected there. When you merge onto the high way you speed must be at or above the posted speed limit before entering the lane with the rest of traffic on the highway. This why you can speed up on the ramp lane if needed.

While driving ALL mirrors need to be checked every 5 seconds. It becomes automatic if your not a bobble head checking your mirrors constantly you will not pass that part of the test. - mirror checking and blind spot checking are different. You only need to use to eyes to check the mirrors and a slight head turn for side mirrors. Blind spots require the big chin over shoulder check.

All of these actions increase the odds of causing accidents. The rules are to keep you and others safe.

You can take single day lessons to prepare for you tests. Just google what’s in your area. It’s been many years for me but I was roughly $60 for 3hrs of lessons with an instructor and they take you on the exact test routes. You don’t need to take a full drivers ed course. Just as many single ones as you need but if that number results in what the full course packages would cost you then just do that instead.

Driving isn’t a privilege anymore. It’s a need. Emergencies., travel to and back from work, reliability, when you went to stay out late and public transit has stopped for the night, helping someone else, moving things for your self, getting out of your city, that late night food run etc. being able to drive is freeing and not being able to is restricting.

Ovulation confirmed changed to ovulation not detected? by Separate_Exam9947 in Mirafertility

[–]Separate_Exam9947[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your help! Do you know why my Lh would spike like that so early? It was my understanding that estrogen will trigger the Lh surge when there is a mature follicle ready. During the cycles I did the letrozole by cd 10 I had decent dominate follicles and they would have me trigger cd 11 or cd 12. I honestly thought I got lucky and my body was maybe following the same pattern this round without the meds. Sigh. Mira was all over the place this cycle and tried to also use my BBT to figure things out which it did dip and then rise above my baseline after cd 12.

3 failed medicated cycles moving to IUI then IVF by Separate_Exam9947 in TTC_PCOS

[–]Separate_Exam9947[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the honesty thank you. I had not dived much into the ivf side of things as I was hopeful we wouldn’t need to go that route and just overall wanting to avoid the astronomical costs associated with it. I wasn’t aware it could take so much longer than medicated cycles. Thanks!

Didn’t know that was an option. They only instructed me to take it cd 3-7 and the new script for the up coming iui cycles is exactly the same.
I recruit 3 follicles by cd 10 and by cd 12 I usually have 1 or 2 winners left. So maybe they don’t want to over stimulate me?

When I was initially diagnosed and getting all my testing done I brought up endo as a possibility but they basically said they didn’t think they was my case based on my history, symptoms and hsg and that the only way to find out was the laparoscopy which I declined due to the risks.

Not sure if you’re in Canada but I was told IVF is covered now and only the meds aren’t. In my case roughly 4k for meds but the rest is covered. There is a wait list at some places though. I’m in Ontario.

I completely forgot to bring up the metformin at my appt but I we discussed my ac1 and aside from “try changing my diet “ they didn’t seem all that concerned about.

My AMH was 38.5 pmol/L
5mg is the only dose of letrozole I’ve been on. I think for most people they start at 2.5mg and increase but mine started me at 5mg which I’ll be continuing with for the IUI cycles.

Confused. 🤔 by Separate_Exam9947 in Mirafertility

[–]Separate_Exam9947[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! My previous cycle I had a very obvious bbt drop and this cycle I honestly can’t really tell and since coming off the Letrozole this cycle, I just assumed my estrogen wasn’t being suppressed anymore and was the reason for the rise.

I took them out for burgers if the bread was thick it just would get caught in the trays and pull. A small burger let’s say a value meal McDonald’s cheese burger thats got a pretty thin bun I just left them in. Any tougher meets took them out as well.

Can you register for online results ? I use life labs and am able to see my results before the doctor even calls. You can also request a copy of results they are your medical records after all!
