Letrozole first cycle

Hi ladies,

I’m due to start taking letrozole next cycle for the first time, just waiting for my period to start. I’ve got some spotting so reckon it will be in the next couple of days.

I wanted to see if anyone else is at a similar stage and wants to join me on the journey? Or if you’re already taking it I’d love to hear your experiences!

I’ve been reading all about the side effects so I’m a little anxious, but generally just excited to give it a try! My cycles are very irregular, and although I always get a peak OPK recently this hasn’t happened until around CD32, so I have a lot of waiting to do! Really hope the letrozole speeds things up 🤞

Congratulations!! So nice to hear good news on here!! 💜💜

hopeanddreams · 01/11/2023 14:23

@AnnieStar12 Yay congratulations!

I've started Northisterone to induce my cycle today after not responding to Letrozole on my first cycle - fingers crossed 5mg dose will do the trick this time

Lovemusic2015 · 01/11/2023 15:27

@AnnieStar12 congratulations!! Lovely to hear more good news, letrozole really seems do the trick!x

Lovemusic2015 · 05/11/2023 09:36

Just updating to say I had my scan during the week. To recap I had 3 mature follicles & had a trigger & am on progesterone injections twice daily. It was my second month on letrozole. One lovely little baby with a strong heartbeat - to be honest we are so happy it wasn’t twins!! We are just delighted to be at this stage as we thought it would never happen!

AnnieStar12 · 05/11/2023 20:55

@Lovemusic2015 congratulations! Such lovely news, and great that Letrozole is working for people on here.
I have now formally missed my period, and have a solid dark positive line on my pregnancy test so starting to allow myself to feel hopeful. I have my scan on the 16th, also hoping for just one (I had two follicles) but tbh, whether it’s 1 or 2 I’ll just be delighted whatever we have as it’s been a difficult year getting to this stage.

how is everyone else getting on?

graceinc22 · 06/11/2023 20:39

@AnnieStar12 so many congratulations! So exciting ❤️

im back on my first cycle of letrozole since losing our baby. Got my period back, finally, after 9.5 weeks, and have taken the 3rd dose of letrozole. Fingers crossed for this cycle x

AnnieStar12 · 06/11/2023 20:51

@graceinc22 thankyou! Am keeping everything crossed for you x

ceruleansky · 07/11/2023 02:22

@Lovemusic2015
Congratulations!!! This is so great! 🥳🥳

I had one mature follicle this time on cd11 and I received my trigger shot. Hoping for the best...

ceruleansky · 16/11/2023 04:27

So I think the first cycle was a fail for me. The drug did it's job and I ovulated but didn't conceive..

I hope you all have better news.

Lisa5892 · 23/11/2023 07:58

My first month I produced 2 good looking follicles, but did not get pregnant. The second month I took the same dose of medication and produced 1 good follicle. I am happy to report that I am pregnant! I have PCOS and am very pleased with the outcome - https://onlinecheappills.com/letrozole.html

ceruleansky · 23/11/2023 09:31

Congratulations @Lisa5892 !!

Has anyone noticed Letrozole delayed their period? I'm late by a day. Had tested a few days back and it was negative, pretty sure I'm not pregnant. Wonder if it has delayed my cycle..

AnnieStar12 · 23/11/2023 11:27

@Lisa5892 Congratulations! Seems a few of us were second round lucky :)

@ceruleansky I guess it can mess with your cycle. But I would test again if I were you..

Daisywillow17 · 23/11/2023 11:45

Hey everyone,

I’m 14dpo on my second round. I haven’t yet tested as clinic said to test day after missed period! No sign of AF, will test tomorrow morning!

I had very light pink bleeding for a few mornings around 7/8 DPO when I woke up (then literally no bleeding throughout the day!)

My BBT has risen and has stayed high (my baseline is 36 degrees and I’ve gone up to around 36.8 and stayed there!)

Fingers crossed I get my BFP when I test tomorrow!

AnnieStar12 · 23/11/2023 13:44

@Daisywillow17 goodluck! Let us know how you get on.
I am very impressed with how disciplined / patient you are not to test by now, haha! I was testing from like 7DPO, got my first faint line at 10DPO.
Did you have a trigger shot? As they do say to wait if you have as it can leave HCG traces in your system.

Daisywillow17 · 23/11/2023 14:16

@AnnieStar12 haha, I’m so petrified of seeing another negative I’ve just not wanted to test haha! Going to buy a test this afternoon and then test tomorrow morning!

I have just started to see a bit of yellow/creamy CM so not sure if AF is coming, boo.

if it’s not TMI, do you mind me asking how you CM has been since your BFP?

hopeanddreams · 23/11/2023 14:56

@Lisa5892 Yay - congratulations!

@Daisywillow17 good luck for tomorrow - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I went for follicle tracking scan on Tuesday CD12 after taking 5mg Letrozole - yet again no response.
Going to increase the dose again next cycle to 7.5mg, hoping that will do the trick!
Anyone else found they needed higher doses?

Daisywillow17 · 23/11/2023 17:09

OH MY!!! I got my BFP!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn’t resist and tested this afternoon!!

Lovemusic2015 · 23/11/2023 19:55

Congratulations @Daisywillow17 & @Lisa5892 fantastic to see so many experiencing success with letrozole!! The Best of luck to everyone else waiting 😙

AnnieStar12 · 23/11/2023 22:58

@Daisywillow17 whoa!! I had a feeling from your last message that was gonna happen. Exciting news :) congratulations!

I’m 7 weeks tomorrow and my clinic have me booked in for a scan to check there’s a heartbeat. I’m so nervous!

And to answer your question yes I’ve had low-level but constant CM everyday since the start. Don’t have many other pregnancy symptoms otherwise though.

@hopeanddreams fingers crossed 7.5 works for you!

ceruleansky · 24/11/2023 00:54

@AnnieStar12
I was sure the drug delayed AF but I tested and got a positive I think!!

Letrozole first cycle
Daisywillow17 · 24/11/2023 05:30

@Lisa5892 Congratulations lovely!!

@hopeanddreams fingers crossed the next dosage helps you, please keep us updated!

@AnnieStar12 thank you! And good luck for your scan, please let us know how you get on!

@ceruleansky congratulations!!! This is so exciting! Letrozole is a wonder drug!

I barely slept last night - still can’t believe I’ve finally got a BFP! 😂

ceruleansky · 24/11/2023 06:01

@Daisywillow17
Congratulations on your BFP!! 🥳

Thank you!! I'm going to do a blood test to get it confirmed.😃
But yes, after failed clomid cycles, Letrozole seems to have done the trick!!

AnnieStar12 · 24/11/2023 06:01

@ceruleansky whooopp!! Fantastic news, congratulations!

Letrozole seems to be really coming through :)

Daisywillow17 · 24/11/2023 07:13
