I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but same exact thing happened to me on my last natural cycle FET (because I usually over-respond to the estrogen). Mine would never budge above 50. They finally gave me progesterone to bring on a period, which took almost ten days to start AFTER finishing the pills and then I ended up with a painful ovarian cyst (they think because my body did eventually try to ovulate but there’s no telling). In my mind, if your estrogen is low and/or not getting higher, you don’t want to continue for the potential success of the transfer and health of the baby.
Thank you so much for your response, and I’m really sorry that happened to you.
Unfortunately, I agree a cancellation seems like the right move for me (as much as I really don’t want that to happen). Each month, I ovulate on my own, or at least I think I do because I get positive OPKs. Now, I’m second-guessing my entire fertility journey. I don’t understand why my LH would rise appropriately while my estrogen and follicle growth lag behind. I’m feeling so beaten today.

Subject: Natural FET with Letorzole – What’s going on?
Hi ladies! Seeking advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation. I’m in the midst of a natural FET cycle using Letrozole to jump start ovulation since I have longer cycles. I went in a few days ago on CD 8, and my estrogen was really low at 16 and my lining only 2.5. I went in again yesterday, so CD 11, and my estrogen dropped to 11 and my lining didn’t increase. My LH is increasing (measured 22 yesterday). I’m assuming my cycle will be cancelled, which is extremely disappointing. Any insights on where to go from here greatly appreciated. I’m just so confused!
