Thank you Atomic!
I am hoping that the Femara will help my progesterone levels this time but I am 4 days past ovulation today and have not noticed an increase in cervical mucus. Since ovulation. Does cervical mucus correlate to progesterone levels?

No, you would see your cervical mucus dry up after ovulation. Progesterone has nothing to do with cervical mucus and in fact causes it to dry up and become very sticky, if there at all.. Estrogen causes cervical mucus and that's why most people see EWCM go away after ovulation. Sometimes you'll see a surge of EWCM about 7 days after ovulation; this is because your body releases a surge of estrogen at that point to help maintain the lining long enough for a new pregnancy to send a signal to the corpus luteum (the hole your egg comes out of after ovulation) to continue making progesterone and sustain the pregnancy.

Hi Atomic! Looking for some last minute advice. I am being monitored on Femara again this month. Went in today and have a 24 mm follicle on my right and a 17 mm on my left. We had sex last night but pulled out because we wanted to make sure I didn’t have multiple follicles. After my appointment we had our one attempt early this afternoon. I am going to trigger now just a few hours later. My doctor knows that I have some anxiety over trying on top of ovulation so her recommendation was to have lots of sex today. Would you have one more attempt today? My only concern is that our pull out last night was too close to this mornings one attempt. Probably only about 12 hours between. Will that be a good enough attempt? My husband has a good sperm count. And do you think that 17 mm follicle could ovulate as well? Thank you so much!

It's only distantly possible the 17 mm could catch up.
THe pullout is not an attempt. That doesn't count. So far you've had only one attempt.
Whether or not to add an attempt is at your discretion. For best chance of pink you'd stick with the one you had. For a better chance of conception, add an attempt, but only one more. Don't have more than one more round of intercourse.
Good luck and pink dust headed your way!

Thank you so much Atomic! Grateful to hear back from you. My other concern was that my one attempt was too close to the pull out the night before. Do you think 12 hours is enough time to regenerate quality/quantity of sperm for a good attempt? And if we had another attempt would you have it tonight or tomorrow? I triggered around 4:30 this evening. Thank you again for all your help!!

Pullout does not count as an attempt. And having a release one day and then another the next doesn't deplete sperm numbers. It takes many days of release in a row or two releases IMMEDIATELY (within 1-3 hours, up to 6 at the longest) to lower sperm count. So that was never in play anyway. He had a good size batch by the next day. Men are talented that way LOL.
I'm too late to reply to your other question, but you'd have it as soon as possible after triggering to be sure you beat the egg. The time between attempts doesn't matter really when doing that second attempt for the sway, though. So if you haven't had an attempt please do.

Thank you! We did not end up having another attempt. I’m glad to hear the one we had was possibly a good one considering it was close to the evening before. Since I triggered at 4:30 pm yesterday I’m expecting to ovulate around 4:30 this coming am which will be 36 hours. I think I will hold tight with our one attempt yesterday if you think it is a good one.

Thank you for all your advice Atomic! I just had my progesterone tested and it came back at 33 8 days past trigger shot. I was on Femara 7.5 mg. I’m a little concerned that my levels may be high. Have you seen levels that high from medicated cycles?

There's nothing wrong with that, I've often seen people around 35. Good luck!
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
