Cycle 2 of letrozole and feeling bummed

27 replies

We have been ttc for 4 years this december, I have PCOS, we have had a failed round of IVF already (embryos were made but failed to implant when transferred) but drs have suggested trying letrozole for 6 months before trying IVF again.

I am on cycle 2 and feeling so bummed, I am 10dpo and have just started the usual pre period spotting I always get. I know it is only cycle 2....and it isnt a garantee that it will even work but I guess I just stupidly got my hopes up!

Why is it so hard for my body to do something that should be so natural...😢

Thank you @PeonyPatch it is tough! Especially when everyone around you is having babies 😢

I have late/weak ovulation so they thought the letrozole will help to bring ovulation forward and prehaps better quality ovulation. And it has brought it forward by 7 days (I think) which I guess is a good thing. I am checking this by taking my bbt along with opk's and had a progesterone test early this week which I am waiting on the results for so will definitely know from that

Its hard when everyone says.... keep trying, youll get there, have more s*x, try to stress less. Sometimes feel like saying please...just be quiet haha

Sending you hugs. 4 years is a long time ttc. My heart goes out to you lovely. What was their rationale for the letrozole? Keep going. It’s worth trying before IVF again.
