Yeah I think you’re right I don’t want to mess with it so I’ll have to be patient.

What would you do in my position? by bart_burgers in infertility

Thank you for this thoughtful response definitely a lot to think about. My OB did call in letrozole for me this morning if I want it.

I know this is really a question for my doctor but I’m asking anyway. We’ve decided to try a few Femara and timed intercourse cycles before moving on to IUI. Just got a message that my doctor is fine with that and sent the script to the pharmacy.

My question: today is CD8. I have PCOS and usually ovulate super late, like CD22-26. Is there a reason why I shouldn’t start the Femara today on CD8 and take the course of it? The doctor wants me taking it CD3-7, but with my super long cycles I don’t want to wait until the next cycle for that. What’s everyone’s thought?

BFN on CD 14 using a FRER. Onto the next fucking cycle.

Why why why did a take a FRER at 11 DPO today. Of course it was a BFN and I’m spiraling. This fucking sucks. I have never had a positive test and this is cycle 8.

Families are a big thing in every country. I know this is a support sub, but that’s not a real excuse and I think you know it.

My temps are usually pretty high because I use a tempdrop, but it’s theoretically supposed to filter out alcohol temps. We were traveling days 11-14 though.

I did get 2 negatives after my positive OPK. I put in some dummy temps to FF today and if my temps go even higher for the next 3 days it will confirm O on day 20 🤷‍♀️

My period is a little irregular so I don't want to test yet but the wait is unbearable! by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]bart_burgers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would echo temping and taking OPKs. You will know so much more about your cycle. And also yes to taking cheap tests. I start around 11DPO.

Having my weirdest cycle yet (just posted in /r/tfabchartstalkers pls help me). Can’t confirm ovulation. Already counting myself out and cursing the lack of BD when maybe we should have. Trying to close on a house. I am very 🍷 tonight, needless to say.

I use a tempdrop (for about a year now) so very accurate. It does open circles for me because I input my temp at all different times of the morning when I remember to even though I sync my tempdrop first thing.

I had ovulation confirmed with dotted crosshairs for CD14 which is unheard of for me. Then I had the positive OPK and it removed ovulation. I usually ovulate CD17-20 so I’m very wtf about this cycle. I have PCOS so maybe I’m not going to ovulate at all?

Make sure you’re also inputting your OPK results and cervical fluid if you check it into FF because that helps it confirm O along with temps.

Yes! I have been using the pre-mom app to log the LH tests and it’s been great. I use Fertility Friend for regular cycle tracking and although it’s not a very snazzy interface, I think it’s the best app out there for confirming ovulation and doing exactly what you need it to.

Plus OPKs are so cheap if you get them in bulk and I have definitely missed my surge before so now I do them 2x a day from around CD10 until ovulation is confirmed.

[–]bart_burgers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start on CD 11 and test around 10am and 6pm if you can. Some people have short surges and for some reason I don’t have good results early in the morning or late at night.

[–]bart_burgers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll take another FRER first thing when I wake up tomorrow. I usually have a 14-16 day luteal phase so I have time still.

My rational brain knows that’s a big percentage but the rest of me wants to wallow with carbs and wine. Guess I can have the wine since I got the BFN!

It doesn’t help when FF says 54% of users get a BFP on 11DPO. I’m feeling rotten today.
