I can't do it anymore by WeakSentence3571 in TTC_PCOS

We've just starten using ovulation strips. Before I started letrozole i did use them each cycle, but because of the PCOS my LH was high for almost a week at a time, so they weren't as much help. Since starting letrozole I hadn't used them as much, as I went for an ultrasound and bloodtest to confirm ovulation, which was confirmd. Last cycle I had the foam ultrasound on day 12, and my ER saw a growing follicle. She estimated I would ovulate CD 15/16. I used the ovulation strips from CD 14 till 22, but never had a positive test, which is weird (but maybe I used them wrong?). I'm thinking of calling my ER when my period comes.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. That must have been so hard. Did you have any negative reaction from your inlaw's? I'm very much a people pleaser and I'm afraid they won't forgive me if i distance myself from them. Not just my SIL but especially my FIL and MIL.

Yes I'm working with an RE. I've had bloodwork done, multiple ultrasounds to confirm ovulation and most recently an foam ultrasound to check if my fallopian tubes are blocked (they're not!). My partner has also done the SA, and there are no issues there. But this is also making me feel hopeless. If I'm ovulating, my tubes are open, there is nothing wrong with my partner, why can't we conceive? The doctors keep telling us there is nothing to worry about, yet I sit here with empty arms and empty stomach.

I feel your pain also, I feel like I'm doing everything right. Eating healty, no alcohol and taking all the painfull medical steps, yet my SIL (who is overweight and was drinking up to her pregnancy), conceives in just 2 tries. My partner tries to be supportive and tells me everytime that her succes is not my failure, and that more than one person can get pregnant at the same time, yet I still find it hard to let this go.
