Anyone currently taking Letrozole or have taken it before and had positive results? I’m about to start taking it for the first time when my cycle starts.

Can your progesterone level be too high prior to FET? I’m on daily injections and suppositories and they said they want greater than 40 and mine is 190. Not sure what the units are. My main question is can it be too high and negatively affect implantation or no such thing as too high???

I’m 5 months post partum and I am on the mini pill but I bleed every 2 weeks. I’ve been to the doctors multiple times and they just say it’s normal.

Anyone else still bleeding and fed up with sanitary pads? I'm 3 weeks postpartum, and although I bleed much less now, I can go a couple of days with no blood at all, and then on the third day it all comes back 🥴 So I need to wear pads constantly BUT I have noticed they're causing spots to appear on my bum cheeks 😭…

It’s my wedding next Thursday and I’m due Saturday but last month was late. I have been getting cramps on and off the last day but I don’t know whether to risk it and see if my period comes in the next few days or to take the tablets from today 😅

Planning to start Depo for birth control, Is anybody on it, or have had any experience using it? I heard people say they gained a lot of weight I'm kinda scared of that. I have been on the pill before, different types but I got pregnant using the pill so I want to try something else.
