Hello,
I'm trying letrozol 5mg for iui but am unsure what to expect and google doesn't seem to have much info. Can anyone tell me how many follicles they produced on letrozol? I'm hoping for more than one but wonder if this is likely? I'm 37 and ovulate normally so this is just to boost chances. We are a same sex couple using frozen sperm.

@Arthursmom letrozole only makes you produce one follicle.
It's clomid that has the potential to recruit more follicles .

@CarpeDiem75 ah I don’t think I’m much use to you 🤦🏽‍♀️ I don’t start until my September cycle (oldest starting nursery so wanted to avoid that timeframe). Same boat though, early miscarriage so wanting to improve egg quality / release more than 1 egg. Good luck! Please let me know how you get on.

Hi
@Arthursmom how are you? How was your first cycle?
I am starting Letrozole this week I think (waiting for my period to start!). I regulate normally but had so many early miscarriages that we are trying to help the quality of my eggs.
Have you found that you have ovulated early with Letrozole? Looking at the dates you probably have not yet 🙈
I had this medicine few years ago with my first pregnancy (was a success) but at that point I was not ovulating at all.. another story!!
Let me now how you are doing!
