Letrozole

[Hgy90]

Hey everyone, I’ve been TTC for 1.5 years now and recently went to a fertility doctor who prescribed me with Letrozole (2.5mg). I’m due to start taking it on day 2 of my next cycle. Yesterday and today I’ve had brown period - should I count this as my period has started or wait for red blood and count that as day 1? Sorry if this is TMI!!

Also, is anyone else starting Letrozole and/or had any success on it?

many thanks!

Thank you for your reply @Alexis7890 It's helpful to know what I'm up against. I do ovulate but one of my tubes is blocked so a slightly different challenge.

Hope you are having better results with the injection.

Hi are you having any follicle tracking with it?
I went for private follicle tracking as the nhs did not provide this and my follicle developed quite early compared to when the doctor predicted. I would have missed that follicle otherwise. I conceived on the first cycle. Had been TTC for 3 years.
just wanted to share in case anyone finds it useful.

You can request follicle tracking on the NHS. A lot of trusts do it now. I had two cycles with tracking at Guys & St Thomas' but ironically conceived on the 3rd cycle where i had no tracking 🙈

Follicle tracking is compulsory through the nhs where I am, they won’t give you anything here with no tracking so maybe depends on area?

Thanks @User1437957 I'm private and will be having follicle tracking at least for the first cycle.

You are welcome. Where I am the consultant said they strictly don’t offer tracking on the nhs. Must be area dependent.
