Well 60 is a good number, my first round clomid gave me 16mm follicle and 70 level progesterone but no BFP. this cycle they arent monitoring me and didnt topped the dose as well. Will see what happen next.
All the best to you hun, it will come to us eventually. lots and lots of baby dust for us
I am so happy to have found this thread. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS after 2 years TTC. This month was my first month trying using letrozole and ovitrelle shots. I went for a scan on day 3 so they could make sure the lining of my womb had thinned out and there were follicles. I then started taking letroxole twice a day for 5 days (I had some bad symptoms with the drug but nothing that I couldn't cope with). I then went back for a scan two days later and they said that my womb lining was nice and thick there were potential three viable follicles/eggs and then took bloods. They then phoned me in the afternoon and told me to go ahead and take my trigger shot of ovitrelle when i got home from work and to go back in the morning for insemination. That is where I am at now.
I have to give myself a second shot of ovitrelle on the 17th and then go back on the 26th for pregnancy blood tests (I will have tested myself before that so will know).
Please can we try and keep this thread going as I would really like to see how all of your journeys go. Keeping fx for everyone this is our month xxxx
Lots of baby dust for us.
Keeping fx for all of us this month xx
yes I was referred to a fertility clinic, 1st of all they put dye through my tubes, they were normal and then next spot the started me on letrozole, this was my 1st round got a BFN today, I don’t think I’m pregnant this month but will test again on Monday if my period hasn’t come, yeah would be good to hear how yous both get on with the journey that feels like a life time.
baby dust 🙂
