@delight: I find the letrozole to be fine. I had no side effects from it. That's part of the reason why I wanted my dose to be increased, but my doctor wants me to go another month on the lower dose before we increase it.
Last month I just had the blood work done.
This month I'm using OPKs, I have an ultrasound scheduled for day 10 to check my follicles, and I'll be getting progesterone blood work done too.
Hoping this is our month!

@Winnie13: progesterone has been amazing for my cycle. It has made my LP go from 8/9 days to 14! I hope it works for you.

@WinterBee: oh, girl! Look at me! I just read low progesterone count and instantly thought short LP... Not even that it just meant you didn't O! Sorry for jumping to conclusions! Hoping the next round of Femara does the trick!

Ok so I tested this morning and didn't see anything and said I wouldn't test again until Wednesday. I caved and there is a light line. It's within a few minutes so I don't think it is an evap. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks. Seems to good to be true that it would happen the cycle before we start meds.

@bloved: ahhhhh! I feel like I am going to puke I'm so scared. I'll pick up a frer tomorrow.

@delight: Another lurker but I just have to say that I hardly ever see test lines on wandfos and I can clearly see it! You are most certainly pregnant! Congratulations!

@delight: Definitely see that line!! Stick baby stick!!

@delight: ahhhhhhh I see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yessssss!!!!!!!!!

Playing catch up here...

@Winnie13: I'm on CD14, waiting for a positive opk. I'm guessing it may be positive tomorrow or Thursday. Same protocol as last month: letrozole + IUI + Progesterone beginning 3dpo. No advice on the trigger, as that's not in our protocol. Good luck, though!!!!!!!!!!

@Plainpistachio: Hopefully your DH's SA goes well - it's nice to be able to potentially rule that aspect out!

@Ajsmommy: I think it's always worth bringing up letrozole to your doc to see his/her thoughts on the drug. Different docs have different preferences, though. My doc wanted to start with clomid. Since my response was wacky (no positive opk's, horrendous side effects), she opted to switch me to the letrozole.

@WinterBee: Sorry about AF. Are you keeping the same dosage this month? Nevermind, just read page 5. Hopefully round 2 works for you!!

@doxielove: good luck with your IUI!

Just had my monitoring apt, cd11 and lead follicle is 22 mm, then there are 18 mm, 15 mm and 13.5 mm. The nurse said my lining is a little thin, probably due to the clomid so they gave me estrace to use to get it thicker. I'll probably trigger tonight or tomorrow. Here's hoping one of these follies is my golden egg!!!! Not sure what we'll do if we don't get BFP bc this is our last TI cycle.... we'll have to meet with the RE to form a plan. But lets hope we don't get to that point!

@WinterBee: I took the letrozole in the morning. No rhyme or reason behind it, that's just when it was convenient for me/I remembered.

@Ajsmommy: good luck! Those sound like great follicles.

@Ajsmommy: best wishes mama! I hope you get the golden egg this month!
@Winnie13: @WinterBee: thanks ladies. I'm optimistic but still scared.

@doxielove: fingers crossed for you!!! We'll be in the dreaded tww together!
@Crystal: hope you o soon!! Have you or will you be able to dtd with good timing??

@KrzyRiver: thanks so much!

@doxielove: Ahhh cool. I take mine at night before bed because I read there's less side effects when you take it at night, but I haven't had any side effects at all.
@delight: Wishing you the best of luck!!

Overall my IUI went smoothly. My doc did have to use a clamp to straighten my cervix out (OUCH!!). Now we wait!!

@Ajsmommy: Awesome, sounds great! Good luck!!!
