@Rac3693 I'm cycle day 8 today.
This is also my last round of letrazole!
After 20 months of TTC I've had surgery for endometriosis, done 3 rounds of clomid and 4 months on Letrazole.
Next step is an appointment 6th July to discuss where we go now. X

Rac3693 · 10/06/2020 22:44

Oh wow really hope this works for u. Did u ovulate on ur other rounds of clomid and letrozole?

I am also on cycle 3. CD15 Today ovulated CD13. Gynaecologist prescribed 6 months worth and told me to seriously consider IVF. Been TTC 29 months our second child. I felt really positive last cycle and was again destroyed when af came. This will be the first cycle I get my cd21 bloods done due to Covid.

JadeS174 · 11/06/2020 09:58

@Rac3693 yes I ovulated every time but clomid was thinning my lining so switched to letrazole. Had day 21 bloods for my first cycle of letrazole but nothing since due to COVID. X

Rac3693 · 11/06/2020 10:07

@Kt555 are u being treated for pcos? How did u conceive ur first?
Hope this cycle works for u!

@JadeS174 Good luck! I’ve been on clomid when i concieved my first ds and i’m actually finding the letrozole much better with hardly any side effects.

@Rac6983 no I have regular periods and I do ovulate based on previous blood tests. Plus I always feel ovulation i always have. My last appointment with gynaecologist was just before lockdown and it was very rushed, she mentioned low reserve but said my results were still very possible to conceive. I was 29 when I conceived my first (36 now) I hadn’t took any prenatal vitamins as expected to be trying longer, took us by suprise how fast we conceived. At the time I was a smoker and conceived while on a boozy holiday. Now I don’t smoke, don’t drink much and take several vitamins.

Hello everyone, I hope you don't mind me joining the group. I am on my first cycle of letrozole after being on clomid since November. I have found the side effects on letrozole worse than the Clomid. Dizzy, hot flushes and unable to sleep like normal. Been TTC since 2017.
Will be going through with IVF in august if the meds don't work. No mention of a HSG which I find really unusual. Hope you all have a lovely weekend, enjoy the sunshine 🌞

Rac3693 · 26/06/2020 13:49

Hi all! Just catching up and seeing how everyone is getting on this cycle?
I had a scan yesterday and it showed a large follicle so I was triggered there.
Any news?

OP posts:
Kt555 · 26/06/2020 14:14

CD2 for me and starting 4th round of letrozole. Had cd21 bloods done and ovulation confirmed. Gynaecologist wants me to consider ivf but we can only afford one round.

Rg1987 · 26/06/2020 16:59

Hey guys are you on 2.5mg?i had my first cycle pm 2.5mg but I haven't ovulated. Trying 5mg next cycle but feeling really disheartened

Rac3693 · 28/06/2020 00:26

@Kt555
Good luck with it!
Would you not try clomid or injectables first if letrozole wont work for u?

OP posts:
Rac3693 · 28/06/2020 00:29

@Rg1987
I had my first cycle on 2.5mg which did nothing for me. The dr upped it to 5mg the next cycle where i ended up having 3 follicles! So for the next cycle we alternated doses every day 2.5mg & 5mg to try find the right medium - and it seems to be good - had one large follicle which we triggered two days ago. Good luck!

@rac3693 that's really comforting to hear. I've now been having flashing smiley OPK tests the last 2 days so god knows what's going on!

Lotusflower1990000 · 06/03/2021 15:46

@jades174 I am exactly in the same Boat at this stage just wondering how you’ve got on? Xx

jades132 · 09/03/2021 12:11

@Lotusflower1990000 sorry only just seek this and changed my user name.

I didn't have any success unfortunately with clomid or letrazole. Was on the waiting list for IVF but have miraculously fallen naturally!

Lotusflower1990000 · 09/03/2021 15:14

Awwww @jade132 congratulations this is amazing! Lovely news and it really gives me hope. i am on the waiting list for ivf while trying letrozole but no luck on my second cycle.xxx
