I'm sorry you're feeling this way hun. I can definitely relate to you though and if you need someone to talk to I am here for you.
I am 25, been TTC #1 for 5 years with no luck. I have PCOS, endometriosis, and LUFS.

I have used the last couple years to focus on helping other women take control of their fertility and if you want help I am more than happy to offer up information. It makes these 5 years I have been fighting infertility feel worth it when I get to help other people.

I started a vlog a little while back as well and if you are interested in it, my first video talks about my story, how I intend to help those TTC. As this is a rough journey and I remember being in the beginning years of ttc and I had no one to rely on, no one to ask questions. And so I was running blind, letting doctors tell me what was best or just trying the latest "fad" fertility recommendation.

Anyways :) I am pretty experienced with this kind of thing so if you want help I am here. Because once you have been TTC for over a year they consider that infertility. And the fact that you are working on 2 years tells me something is wrong. It may not be you though, it could be your husband. Sometimes a little digging can get us in the right direction to achieving our goal of getting pregnant.

SO if you are interested in my videos you can find me on youtube #theinfertilitybattle

I have had similar things happen, but only in cycles that I didn't ovulate. I have PCOS too and am 25. My cycles are all over the place though. If you are having trouble tracking ovulation or knowing if it in fact took place, black cohosh from CD 1-12 can help balance your LH and FSH (the hormones that stimulate egg growth and ovulation) as well as estrogen and your uterine lining. This was the only thing that helped me obtain a normal cycle.

Otherwise I would just keep testing until AF shows or you get a positive.

If you want more info on PCOS and stuff I have a vlog on youtube #theinfertilitybattle
Hope this was helpful <3 Good luck

Typical growth for follicles is 1-2 mm per day. But with Gonal F it could be a little faster. KMFX for you :)

It's good that you have consistent temps. Most people don't due to variables when temp charting. That will make it much easier to notice changes.

As far as your fibroid removal goes, are you for sure that you had scar tissue? If so there are some herbal tampons that work pretty well for removing scar tissue. Also, it's actually more common for the scar tissue to cause recurrent miscarriage than it is for it to prevent implantation because scar tissue is soft so it's easy for an egg to implant into it, but it won't be able to stay because as the embryo grows the scar tissue doesn't accommodate to the growth like your uterine lining does. My mom has Asherman's syndrome (scar tissue in the uterus) and she had 9 miscarriages between having me and my little sister. Not trying to scare you by any means, just trying to reassure you that the scar tissue doesn't really sound like the issue at this point.

Considering the age of your husband, have you thought about testosterone issues?

Ask your OB about possibly switching the Femara. Unless you conceived your first baby on Clomid that is. Because it can take up to 6 months.

I was on Clomid ttc # 1 for 4 months before I switched to seeing a specialist. But they just put me back on clomid for another 6 months with ultrasounds for monitoring and an HCG trigger shot. It still didn't work because my eggs weren't releasing. So they switched me to Femara(letrozole) and Lupron trigger shots and now my eggs are releasing.

If your cycles are anywhere between 32-36 days long ovulation could happen anywhere between CD16 and CD 24

Keep taking those OPKs!

Some women don't start getting breast pain until they are 6 weeks pregnant, but some women can get it the day after ovulation even when they aren't pregnant. It basically just signifies that your progesterone and/or estrogen are elevated. It doesn't actually have anything to do with the pregnancy hormone HCG at first.
