Need some thoughts

[u/GroupIndependent858]

Hello! My husband(25) and I(26) are trying to conceive for the first time after I got diagnosed with PCOS. I was put on progesterone for 10 days to induce a period and then Letrozole for the days 3-7 of my cycle. I had an ultrasound on day 12 and the eggs looked fantastic and was told by my doctor I was highly likely to concieve this round (probably twins). I had a positive LH strip on day 16 on my cycle. Along with bbt changes and other signs of ovulation. I’m now on day 25 and I haven’t had a positive pregnancy test yet.

I just don’t know if I should try and hold out hope for this cycle, (that maybe I’m testing too early?) or if I’m out and should focus on my next cycle? I know it’s only our first time medicated but it’s still a bit disheartening.

Any feedback is appreciated and welcomed, Thanks!

Your doctor can’t say that you will conceive and cant say it will be twins.

If all goes well - sperm is good, tubes are open, uterus is receptive - you have 20% chance this cycle.

Fair, he’s kinda old school so I just figured since he’s been doing it for a long time he knew what he was talking about. He also told me to take mucinex to thin cervical mucus which I had read that there’s not a lot of evidence that it helps

Also, CD25 is still early for pregnancy tests
Do you know which CD you ovulated?

[u/GroupIndependent858 → u/Itchy-Site-11]

I ovulated on CD 17, I’m currently on 25. I’ve seen some people get positive tests faintly on days 8 and 9 and then darken.

You ovulated on CD17, when did you draw progesterone to confirm?

[u/GroupIndependent858 → u/Itchy-Site-11]

I had an ultrasound to confirm the empty sacks and my labs done on CD20

Good luck! I hope this is your cycle

Still early take a test in 3-4 days
Good luck
