in Trouble TTC
Hello! I'm new to this message board thing and definitely posted on the wrong board first, but anyway here I am. DH and I have been ttc for about 14 mo now for the first time. I am 28 and he is 26. We have been using creighton model charting which I actually really like. I was able to do hormone testing a little early because of this with results being low progesterone and low estrogen. I am on my second month of meds....hcg shots post ovulation, letrazole in the beginning of my cycle and bromocriptine daily (due to recently noted high prolactin). Having some weirdness with my current cycle and decided to post bc it's driving me crazy - has been very long I am 14 days dpo and on day 46 of my cycle - crazy making! Anyway, not sure how this month will go I am expecting AF soon and have been having cramps the last couple of days. Hoping to gain some support through this board and am grateful I found it. Thanks for reading!

    Welcome! Sorry you're having an annoyingly long cycle. Since you're 14DPO with no AF yet, it definitely makes sense to take a pregnancy test if you feel ready, or just wait a few days since your HCG shot supports the luteal phase and can make it a little longer than normal.

    And after reading your other post on IF from earlier this cycle...I wanted to make sure that you are getting ultrasound monitoring to check on how your follies are growing after taking Femara. If they are large enough, you can get an hCG trigger shot to make the follie(s) finish development and ovulate. It's not good to O so late, as anything past CD21 has a significantly reduced chance of pregnancy.

    I hope this cycle you get your BFP, but if not, make sure you get monitoring and possibly an increased dose of Letrozole or a different med.

    Thanks so much for the warm welcome and support! I really appreciate the info related to long cycle issue @BunnyBerry‌ . Today I am 85% sure AF is coming which is ok since I'm working on my instant gratification issues :-) I will do a cycle review with my docs nurse once it's here so hopefully will get some direction. Thanks again to all, glad to be here.
