OTD or AF?

Whilst I am waiting for another AF in a month or so before starting our FET, I just wondered how many people actually get to OTD or find out their result or by AF? Obvs if you get a BFP that wouldn’t be the case (usually) and happy days 🎉 But I feel the more cycles we do, I don’t even get to OTD and that really sucks! Rant over 😂xxx

I didnt get to OTD in any of my NHS cycles and you just feel cheated dont you! I at the time questionned whether I was getting enough progesterone as I thought that was meant to hold off AF. The Dr told me that wasnt possible, I was in crinone gel at the time. Moving forward in my private cycles I explained my previous fears and they prescribe cyclogest 2x400mg per day....told me if I felt my period coming I could up my dose but I never had to, AF stayed away! However from last 2 BFP's and losses and had my progesterone tested which is far too low so going by that and being on the high dose of cyclogest it would appear I dont absorb the meds very well and need to be on injections - seena few ladies recently with the same issue of not absorbing the "normal meds". I think its worth discussing having your levels checked if you can beg your clinic to do this! Hugs, its a horrible feeling.xx
