US today and found out I may have already ovulated! No IUI for me!

MARISAV77

Went in for my CD13 today to find out what size follicles I had. I thought I would be triggering today and scheduling IUI #2 for tomorrow. I have responded well with each medicated cycle (multiple Clomid cycles and this would be cycle 2 with letrozole) and I usually don't have good sized follicles until CD 13-16. When I saw the little follicles on the US, even before my RE said 12mm out loud, I was thinking "F*ck, it didn't work this month" After the US he told me, either I am still early in the cycle and the follicles (I had a 12mm on both ovaries) are still growing OR I have already ovulated. I told him I was feeling ovulation pains in both of my ovaries on Sunday night, but I didn't think I was really ovulating because it was still early in my cycle. He said I had a trilaminar lining, which he said was good. I also did bloodwork (progesterone, estradiol and LH) to confirm whether or not I ovulated or not, but I won't hear from them until around 4pm today. Hubby and I BDed Sunday and last night, so hoping we didn't need IUI this month!  

Has anyone else ovulated early on Letrozole, like CD 10-11? I don't temp because I am a nurse and my sleeping patterns are not regular and I stopped using OPK's since I was going in for ultrasounds and getting trigger shots. 

Thanks!

Oh, no! I hope either that you didn't and they can still do the IUI, or that TI with your husband did the trick.  Good luck!

Thanks @Davie813‌! The nurse just called, she said it looks like I ovulated recently because my progesterone is rising and to continue with BDing with the hubs. Here's to another long 2WW!

I'm on letrozole, too, for CD2-6. In the past, I always got my positive OPK on CD14 or CD15, the last two cycles it has shown up on CD12. So in my experience, the letrozole does speed things up a little bit.

I've been so curious lately about what femara will do to my O.  I always O on 14 or 15.  But this being my first medicated cycle, IDK what to expect.  I hope mine doesn't move up, as DH is out of town until early on CD13!  Yikes!  I'm on CD11 now and so far all neg OPK's. 

Yes, good thing you guys BD'd.  A friend of mine never O'd on her own until femara.  They BD'd by chance at the right time and got BFP w/o doing the IUI they had planned.  Fingers crossed for you!

Thanks! I hope we have as good as luck as your friend did!

I'll also add....for lots of women, O day moving up while on femara can be normal.  But it being delayed a bit can be normal too.  According to Dr. Google anyway...

Also, just a word of encouragement....it took me almost a full year to get pregnant with my first.  Not a thing found to be wrong with me or DH.  It just took awhile.  And I was mid-20's then!  Hang in there!

My O moved from CD14/15 to CD 12/13 on Femara, so I'd say it's pretty normal to have things shift around.

Well now I know for next cycle (if I don't get a BFP this month) to go in for my US on CD11 instead of CD13 like I usually do! I think I might start using OPKs again too!
