So I've used this a couple times now, and I'm curious to know if/when you ovulated on it?
(I'm using it alongside a Frozen IVF transfer, not for timed intercourse, but still need to O for progesterone reasons)
*First time - O'd day 22.
*Second time - O'd day 17.
*Third time - No O, huge ovarian cyst.
*This time - no idea! 
When did it work for you? And do you ovulate naturally, or not at all, without meds?

I ovulate on my own, almost always CD15. I did the same on femara. The only difference in my cycle was that my luteal phase went from my normal 10-12 days to 14 days.
I hadn't heard of doing femara the way you're doing, only taking progesterone after transfer. Either way, big prayers!

I took the generic version of femara, letrozole, for probably 5 cycles. The first 4, I would ovulate from days 11 - 14 (I ovulate on my own, so this was to super ovulate), but the last time (this cycle), I didn't ovulate until closer to day 17 or 18..it was weird. good luck!

I ovulate on my own but being on femera made me ovulate earlier. I think on day 12 or something. I remember having to be monitored for my IUI cycles on day 10 because of it.
Finger and toes crossed for you!!

So I basically don't don't ovulate at all on my own, and with the right dosage of Femara I ovulated on CD16. I did have some injectables at the end to help with egg quality, but I think still would have ovulated regardless.
My other cycles with Femara were much longer because the dose wasn't high enough.

I ovulate on my own between day 22 and 35 usually, sometimes as early as 18. Femera usually made me O around CD16

Interesting! I don't ever ovulate on my own - so this is the only way I've done it before. (Clomid didn't work for my dodgy ovaries.)
They weirdly changed my dose this time, instead of taking 5mg from days 2-6, I had to take days 5-9. Of course, that is making me paranoid that I won't ovulate for WEEKS after this now... but I don't really know how that works.
Yeah, it's interesting @AmeliaBedilia: The idea is that with a natural FET, you would ovulate, and then they time the embryo transfer to 5dpo (if you have 5 day embies, that is) - that way your body is making it's own natural progesterone from the ovulation PLUS supplemented with the progesterone pessaries!

I took it for one cycle (we then found out my husband has azoospermia so we paused TTC) to release more eggs for better chances due to my severe endometriosis. I almost always ovulate CD11 (I have O'ed CD12 twice in 16 non-medicated cycles). On Letrazole I O'ed CD12. So either 1 day late or right on time.
