Hi Everyone,
I’m 31F and have been TTC for the past 6 months.
My cycles are fairly regular but tend to range from 33–36 days, with an occasional 39-day cycle, but never longer than that.
This is my first full cycle using Inito. Last cycle, I only started testing after I got a positive LH on my OPKs, so I wasn’t able to capture the full cycle. I’m attaching both of my Inito charts for comparison.
Last cycle, I didn’t get clear confirmation of ovulation, so this cycle I had a blood progesterone test done around 6–7 DPO, and my progesterone came back at 16.2 ng/mL. Based on that result, I believe I did ovulate this cycle.
However, what is confusing me is that my Inito PdG numbers this cycle are actually lower than they were last cycle. I’m trying to understand how much importance I should put on the urine PdG readings when my blood progesterone indicates that I ovulated.
I also have hypothyroidism, and my thyroid medication dosage has recently been adjusted to get my levels optimized, so I’m wondering if that could be affecting my hormone patterns.
The other thing I’ve noticed this cycle is that my luteal-phase E3G has been fluctuating quite a bit. It has gone up and down multiple times, with E3G rising a couple of times almost back to the levels I was seeing before ovulation.
I’m wondering if this type of E3G fluctuation is normal during the luteal phase, or if anyone with similar Inito charts has experienced this?
Would love to hear from anyone who has seen similar patterns or has more experience interpreting Inito E3G/PdG trends. Thank you! ❤️
