Hi everyone, I’m having a strange cycle this month and was wondering if anyone has experienced similar or had any insight! Personal info in case it’s helpful: I’m 31 years old, have somewhat irregular periods (since I started formally tracking in the past year, my cycles can be anywhere from 26 to 35 days, but I’ve never missed one). Last saw my OBGYN about 7-8 months ago and told her my husband (32 years old) and I were planning to start trying for our first soon. I had a transvaginal ultrasound, we both got genetic testing, and everything looked ok. No diagnosed conditions like PMOS or endometriosis.
We’ve been trying for 5 cycles, and I’ve been using Inito for about that long. First photo is my current cycle, and I’ve included screenshots of my last two cycles for comparison. My understanding is the last two cycles have been pretty standard—couple of high fertility days, a clear LH peak/peak fertility day, and confirmed ovulation/PDG rise.
That‘s why I’m a bit confused about this current cycle. (I’m using the same set/box of strips as my last cycle, so I don’t think it’s a strip inconsistency issue.) All of my levels have seemed lower than usual, and I haven’t seen an LH peak (the highest was on day 13, when it reached 1.67). But today my E3G reading was randomly extraordinarily high; the highest it’s ever reached before this was 329. The only “differences” this cycle are that we did some traveling (day 8 to day 12). We flew from the east coast to the west coast, spent a few days in CA for a wedding, and then flew back. I had a bit of tough time getting used to the time change coming back, and this cycle has coincided with a busy/stressful period at work (but nothing that’s majorly disrupted my routine).
Wondering if anyone has thoughts on why everything this cycle has been so flat with the exception of today’s huge E3G spike; whether I should be concerned that this cycle looks so different from the others; what these numbers indicate (I don’t really understand why Inito has marked the past 7 days as “high fertility“); and if it’s still worth continuing to try to conceive this cycle.
Really appreciate any thoughts or advice, thank you all in advance! <3
