My progesterone was 20 at my 21 day check. Is that ovulation, pregnancy, or either range? I'm getting conflicting opinions online.

 

[laurac1988]

it's certainly ovulation What measurement are they using? I know sometimes they use different measurements in the UK to what they do in the US

 

[laurac1988]

I think the US use ng/ml and the UK use ng/l so what would be a good result in the US might be not so good in the UK.

https://www.endotext.org/question/detecting-ovulation-by-progesterone-level/ having a look online it says that anything above 30 can mean ovulation if the measurement is ng/l

I'm not sure, but I'm in the US. So, whatever they use here.

I am SO sad to read this! I have been checking in here and there and I always stalk your charts and hope.
I will miss seeing your uplifting and encouraging posts you really helped me when I was down. Thanks for always taking the time to be supportive to everyone who posts. I WILL be looking for an update come June!

Well my temps are dropping like they always do so AF should be here tomorrow or Monday unless a miracle happens.

Ladies, I am going to say goodbye. I won't be taking clomid again unless the specialist decides on it but that will then only be in July. In the meantime we will be ntnp. This month has been incredibly stressful; don't know why I placed such high hopes on it working now when it clearly hasn't worked before. It has taken a toll on my health, marriage etc. I have to shift my focus again if I want to be happy. And after I've seen the specialist end June, then we'll take it from there.

It has been awesome to have you all to chat to. I have gotten more support here than anywhere in my "real life". Love and hugs to you all! I will be popping in now and then to check out all the bfps that are coming . Xxxxxx

We will miss you Fern.

Hi newbie and pharmacy counsellor in new york, united states. Happy to join Clomid club.

 

[TTC74]

Well, ladies, I'd say I'm close to out. BFN this morning at 11 DPO on a FRER. First Response reports a 96% accuracy rate at 11 DPO. I will keep my fingers crossed for a miracle. Absent a miracle, I shall march onward to month 2 of clomid.

 

[laurac1988]

You're not out yet

 

[Timetotry]

Aw Fern, Sorry to see you go. I hope you find so peace and happiness over the next few months. Enjoy your time off. I actually found it somewhat refreshing to not have to think about any of it during my month off.
Enjoy the other parts of your life!

Timetotry - how are you doing? Have you started IUI?

So after a month of hibernation and giving my mind a break from anything TTC here is an update

After 3 rounds of clomid and not ovulating with any of them I decided to take a break. The last time I took Provera I felt AWFUL and I just couldn't do another month. I had an appointment with my gynecologist and we decided I wanted to try something that would address my PCOS as a whole, even if it meant taking longer. So she put me on metformin 1500mg daily. We kind of expected that if it started to help regulate me it would take about 8-12 weeks. So of course now that I have relaxed a little bit 9 days after starting the new medication I got a period. My first not-provera-induced period in 10 months and since coming off birth control.

I hope this is the start to some regularity in my cycles

 

[TTC74]

Pretty sure I got a UTI from the clomid. Im going to the dr tomorrow to confirm.

 

[Timetotry]

Timetotry - how are you doing? Have you started IUI?

Hi Arohanui! We lucked out and the day of our orientation was the beginning of my cycle so they let us start this month! I had a baseline ultrasound which confirmed by PCOS diagnosis.
I was put on femara and menopur injections, and had 3 mature follicles develop and 2 more that were possibly large enough. We decided to risk it, and went through with the IUI on Friday. I was in a fair bit of pain after (a bit of cramping from the procedure but mostly ovulation ). Now I'm on progesterone suppositories. And will get blood work 18dpiui.
A bit nervous about the risk of higher order multiples. Fingers crossed.

How are you doing?

Minnie, how are you finding the metformin so far? Any side effects?
I hope it helps regulate your hormones and cycles!

Ttc74 I didn't get a positive on frer until 12 dpo so it is still very possible.

Laurac how are yoy doing? Keeping my fx for you!

 

[laurac1988]

I'm not even sure. This month has thrown me right off. I have a short luteal phase so we will know in the next two days or so.

That's awesome! FX for you. I imagine the wait for 18dpiui will be even more difficult than the normal TWW. I really hope it goes well for you!

I just started round 5 of clomid last night. I'm not going to take anything for CM this round as none of it has helped, and I felt like I was taking so many supplements last round I going to start rattling! I'm undecided if I'm even going to temp this month - I think I might just chill and see what happens. I really don't believe clomid is the answer for me, I just want to get the next 2rounds out the way as quickly as possible so I can move on to something else. I was really down and frustrated with round 4 so I want to stop pinning my hopes on this drug and just accept it'll be another 6 months-a year before I get the treatment that I really need. Going to have a relaxing month without TTC constantly on my mind!

BFN with Triphasic chart at 12 DPO.

 

[Timetotry]

Arohanui- GL this cycle! I stopped temping quite a while ago, it seemed so consuming and hated waking up to take my temp. Does your doctor do any monitoring or bloodwork?
