Common Questions and Answers about Letrozole and pcos

No, the rate decrease if your taking metformin. I also have PCOS and I had a miscarriage in October..every since then I haven't had a period or ovulate on my own so my doctor put me on provera, metformin, and letrozole(femara) to get pregnant but the metformin alone will help you NOT to have a miscarriage...good luck to you sweetie. I think you should ask your doctor about taking metformin, it corrects PCOS also...
I wanted to know, is it always effective to take this medicine . I also suffer from PCOS. I am on second cycle now and had my MC on CD27 with pre-menstrual discharge on CD26. It lasted for 4days only , so how do i get to know if I actually ovulated or not ?
I used OPKs on CD 10 and CD11 both in the evenings but got very faint line so cant even depend on that to know what happening in my body?
Is there anyone else who has similar issues ?
My period started Thursday 7/23 and I took Letrozole days 3-7. I have now finished Letrozole and am still bleeding on day 8 and I have a baseline ultrasound on Monday 8/3 to check my follicles to see if I am good to take ovidrel. So my questing is, is it pointless to go to the appointment if I'm still bleeding. Is this cycle going to be pointless???
OK, I have irregular cycles and I also have PCOS, my ob said for my husband and I to. Start trying to conceive, my ob upped my dosage of Metformin to 2, 500mg a day and to stop taking my birth control. He said if I don't have a period within 35 days come back, well its been two days on Metformin and I have already started, but I was wondering how long do I have to take this before I can get Clomid?
since my periods were irregular i went to consult doctr and was adviced to take scan...i was reported that i got pcos and said its a minor problm...i was prescribed to take metformin and ovares capsules for 3 months and i took it for a month i got my periods on 13 oct......another doctor who is friend of mine said to take APCOD since its advanced...i had APCOD next month and this month my periods should be on 13-17 november..but i got only spottings..
However I would recommend two other options. One is to consider a drug called letrozole. Sometimes clomid, although it makes women with PCOS ovulate, causes the uterine lining (or endometrium) to be too thin to support a pregnancy. Letrozole does not have this side effect.
Another set of drugs to consider are injection fertility drugs. It is pretty common for clomid to fail - only about 50% of women who ovulate on clomid actually get pregnant.
I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and was on depo to help with the pain, but now I would like to have another child I only have one and he is 9.... I'm off depo now, what advice would you give me on trying to conceive?!
I was diagnosed with pcos a year ago. My husbad and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years. I recently just finished my first batch of letrozole.I just did my first ovulation kit today. Has any one else tried this type of medicine, how long was it before you got a positive on your ovulation test and howl long before you conceived?
PCOS does not go away, it is only treatable. You have to stay on the meds and matain a healthy weight so your pcos does not flare up. If your overweight, losing weight will help bring ovulation back if you do not ovulate on your own.
i have pcos and have tried clomide before, of which i did not ovulate on it. i have been on letrozole for the last 4months and have just gone to 5mg day 2-6. i have taken letrozole to concieve. On day 14 i had a scan that showed two follicles size16 and 11. could not have a followup scan so had progestrone level checked on D28.(irregular periods) and it was 34.
Ok, so, doc doubled my Letrozole this cycle and for first time had more than one follicle growing so had hope this time..a little history, I have PCOS and Agressive Endometriosis. 2 failed IUI's so far with letrozole and HCG inj. Before that, Clomid for 9 months with no success. So this time again, follicles on the left stopped growing at 14mm, and the one on the right was 24mm today but was a anuovulated.. Spelling may be wrong.
So I'm about 3 weeks preg with PCOS. I have been having cramps on and off for day just like normal AF cramps. But I just went to the toilet and when I wiped there was some red blood. Just a little bit only on one wipe.
What could this be, please help!
I have pcos as well and have never had regular periods. With my first child, I was taking metformin and using ovulation kits. I am now pregnant with my second child. This time I tried clomid (with no success) then switched to letrozole. I was about to go back to taking metformin, but found out I was pregnant. It is very difficult when you barely ever ovulate. Good luck!
