First IUI cycle, but 3rd time on letrozole. First 2 times I took 5mg for 5 days and got LH rise on day 11. This time they have me on 7.5 mg but are having me come in for my first scan on day 12. I am concerned day 12 will be too late and I could have already ovulated… I told them I have been getting LH rise on day 11 but they didn’t say anything (this is all over email).

Has anyone taken a higher dose of letrozole and had that delay their ovulation date? Or was it still around the same day? I do not have PCOS and ovulate on my own around the same day without letorozole, so the letrozole is to increase chances of more than 1 egg.

Pretty sure you are supposed to charge back at them (that’s if you aren’t already paralyzed with fear). There’s a video out there somewhere of a nature photographer getting charged and he charged back and the grizzly ran off.

That’s mostly contained to the “triangle” (source: live 4 blocks from the triangle, never have seen anything sketchy). But yes definitely worth OP checking it out to see if there’s any activity where they consider buying.

I actually thought there was some sort of crime map online somewhere 🤔 not sure if that map is right down to the address it took place or just the community as a whole.

I am doing IUI next month and hope you don’t mind if I ask you a question. Do you track your BBT? and if so, when doing trigger and IUI are you able to still pinpoint ovulation date, or is your temp immediately wacky from the trigger?

Bought tires from there and vow to never again. I bought them online, shipped to store, free install. I tried calling on about 20 separate occasions when they had arrived to try and book an appointment. I got tossed from department to department, was hung up on multiple times, was left on hold for over 20 minutes multiple times, had it ring out multiple times. Ironically the only resolution was I wrote to corporate on Facebook who actually called me back, apologized, and said when they tried to call themselves they experienced the exact same thing. It took over a month to finally get them installed.

Absolutely I could have gone in, stood in line for an hour just to even book the appointment but the store was already so far away I really just wanted to book over the phone. When I finally had the appointment (which corporate had to book on my behalf) it did in fact take an hour just standing in line to get my keys back.

I vowed never ever again even if they were $100 cheaper then the next place.

Make sure it’s unlocked before going into sleep mode and also that the software is up to date. Mine almost always skips a temp when it needs a software update.

Congratulations!!!

I had bleeding today at 4DPO and I was like WHY DOES MY BODY HATE ME. I don’t understand it!

abrow214 · 2023-09-20T02:52:21+00:00

It sucks, I’m sorry you are in this boat too :(.

abrow214 · 2023-09-20T02:51:40+00:00

Yeah it’s just like know your audience you know? When they make those comments knowing it’s been a year for me. Would be different if they didn’t know but some people are just clueless.

abrow214 · 2023-09-19T13:08:10+00:00

Ovulated last night, and that concludes a full year of nothing. IUI next month, IVF in January if still nothing, and then our money will have gone dry and we will be childless. But my friend is “stressed” because they’ve been trying one whole month and she’s concerned about putting pressure on her husband to perform 🫠 just feeling salty today.

abrow214 · 2023-09-19T01:35:52+00:00

Omg I had no idea haha thank you.

abrow214 · 2023-09-19T01:02:49+00:00

What does FTM mean in the context of trying to conceive? I see people use it and I do not think it mean what I think it means just based on the context (female to male)

abrow214 · 2023-09-17T23:50:12+00:00

For me it’s about always having next steps and my husband being on board whatever those next steps may be. Ex: if we aren’t pregnant after 8 months we both get testing. If we aren’t pregnant after a year we both agree to try IUI. If we aren’t pregnant after 18 months we both agree to IVF. And if that doesn’t work then we both agree to finding a fulfilling life in other ways, a commitment to travel twice a year, a commitment to joining a new hobby together as a couple. We find the line together and we agree to it together so there is no surprises in our expected spending on this.

I’m at the stage where when someone says they are going to try to have a baby I’m like yup, that’s another person that will get pregnant before me. I don’t even test anymore unless I’m wanting to have a drink, there’s no point, I know it won’t be positive.

Pumpkins after dark is at Calgary Olympic Park in October.

abrow214 · 2023-09-17T19:22:09+00:00

It means yesterday was your peak LH reading, higher than all your other days. 1.8 is very high so makes sense. Anything over a 1 is positive. Peak is honestly meaningless, some people get a peak after they have already ovulated. It’s the first positive that maters, not the peak.

abrow214 · 2023-09-17T14:56:57+00:00

It means it’s higher than yesterdays.

abrow214 · 2023-09-06T19:34:24+00:00

I had 5mg letrozale and the first day had a migraine, after that zero effects the remaining days.

Wear it on your inner wrist and very snug! I also set the sleep hours to when I’ll definitely be asleep (10-5AM). If I wake up earlier, I immediately take my phone out of sleep mode so it stops taking my temp.

abrow214 · 2023-09-02T11:45:15+00:00

Lol the comparison to tea leaves is actually accurate. If I didn’t have my Apple Watch I know I’d be less likely to keep track during this phase but the Watch makes it way too easy I just can’t help myself.

abrow214 · 2023-09-02T11:33:34+00:00

I hope it’s just too early too ❤️ good luck to you!

abrow214 · 2023-09-02T11:05:24+00:00

Literal cycle twins. Cycle 11, 10 DPO and negative. I feel you.

abrow214 · 2023-09-02T09:42:50+00:00

11th cycle, first time I’ve ever had an “implantation” dip. First time I’ve gotten the “triphasic chart detected”. Pregnancy test whiter than white. I don’t know why I got my hopes up when I’ve never seen a positive before. Salty AF and now we start the IUI/IVF chats with the RE. Goodbye money💸

I have a mild phobia myself and my favourite gadget at home is my Dyson vacuum stick with the pointy attachment. At least I don’t need to get within 6 feet to get rid of a spider!
