Common Questions and Answers about Letrozole and pregnancy rates

femara

1340383 tn?1309990914 I have used both and after five attempts with clomid no success and the first try with letrozole I got pregnant with my son due to placenta ruption. I'm trying letrozole again with this cycle.
6889053 tn?1386025503 Along with Clomiphene lifestyle modifications like weight control, exercise are very important to improve the success rates of Clomiphene.Tamoxifen and gonadotropins are other drugs which can help women with PCOS to get pregnant. The pregnancy rate is about 15 per cent in patients with PCOD taking Clomiphene, but success depends on the length of treatment and other factors. It varies woman to woman. You should start taking folic acid, exercise daily and reach your optimal weight.
Avatar f tn I am on my first cycle of gonal-f and letrozole with tic, i hope and pray that this works for me because we have done 4 cycles of clomid with no success.
Avatar f tn ll have my second IUI next week and currently taking letrozole (femara) 5mg days 3-7. Hopefully this round works.
1773487 tn?1331540488 I did letrozole(femara) with injectibles and timed intercourse. It worked first try and my baby is now a little over 10 months. I didn't have any side effects from it(except pregnancy lol).
Avatar n tn The way to find out is to have quantitative beta HCG levels done 48 hours apart and compare the two. If it is a new pregnancy, the level should approximately double. If it is left over from the previous pregnancy the level will probably fall. If you are pregnant again, there is no need to worry about anything other than the usual worries.
6889053 tn?1386025503 So, I took birth control for a month and a half to allow it to shrink. I then started Letrozole this cycle. I would go with what your doctor says. From my understanding, the Letrozole will help you to produce follicles, where Metformin helps to regulate insulin, which in turn helps you to ovulate. Taking the Letrozole may be good, because you need follicles.
Avatar f tn Anyone get pregnant using femara/letrozole after being given unexplained infertility diagnosis? How many months did you take it before you got your positive? Me: 28 Hubby: 30 Sperms analysis perfect, laparoscopy perfect, all tests for ovulation and ultrasounds looked perfect. Trying since 2012 no pregnancy yet This is my 2nd cycle on femara, next ovulation expected on 1/14. If 3rd cycle not successful, will do iui with femara anyone else done this and got pregnant? ?
Avatar f tn There are no specific symptoms of pregnancy and the described changes could be seen both with pregnancy and around the premenstrual period. The only definite way of confirming a pregnancy would be to run a urine/ blood test and get it confirmed by an ultrasound scan. I would suggest waiting for a couple of weeks and in case you do not get your periods, I would recommend running a urine pregnancy test. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
Avatar f tn Hi. Just to clarify matters: Femara is the brand name of the drug letrozole. Since you've already taken this drug and it has caused you severe joint pain, it's really not advisable for you to be taking it again. In the MA-17 clinical trial, Femara/letrozole was intended to be given for a duration of 5 years after Tamoxifen. However, patients in that study were only treated for an average of two years before the study was unblinded.
1204794 tn?1300704113 I was treated with Femara after the doctor's determined that I did not ovulate on my own. I ended up with severe moodswings and hot flashes on this drug. I don't recall any itching per say, but I would ask your doctor to see if you could try Clomid instead just to see how you react to it. Or if you can take no medication at all. I think Femara is some pretty strong stuff, and my body did not react well to it.
256553 tn?1258883918 Hey!! This is my third round of letrozole. 1st with an iui, 2nd with natural trying, 3rd with iui on may 2nd. This is my last round of letrozole so I pray it worked. Good luck!!!!
Avatar f tn My husband and I have been trying for almost 1 year. I was on Clomid for 6 months and last cycle switched to Letrozole. Now my period is 4 days late and 2 pregnancy tests say NEGATIVE - this is killing me! My OB has told me I will have to take progesterone to bring on my period. Has anyone else had a late period due to Letrozole or had negative PG tests but turned out they were PG? Thank you.
1287560 tn?1272216521 Thank you for that, my dr hasnt even heard of it, so I am to print a page off web about letrozole and make an apointment to see her and discuss.
Avatar f tn My husband and I have been married 16yrs and just went through a 1yr separation we ended up getting back together and on June19,2014 found out I was pregnant with both our first baby and all my life I've had PCOS and gave up so when I found out I was excited but sadly the little blessing was not growing correct and I ended up with a miscarriage on July14,2014 I was about 8 to 12 weeks along and had the d&c procedure I've had 2 periods siSo my question is what is the best and fastest
1550414 tn?1294039186 ) i too a HPT 15dpo and i got a faint positive and i called my doctor and the nurse told me to wait for a week if AFdont show up come to the hospital...this made me sad so i stopped taking hpt...but what i am really concerned about is that i was prescribed progestone supplements 200 for 2 times a day for just ten days from three days after ovulation so the tablet got over now...its been three days without tablets....i am afraid if the sudden drop in the progestone level could affect the baby..
Avatar m tn Hello and welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question and we apologize for delay in response! We are glad you are on to maintenance therapy for your previous cancer! Typically, letrozole does have a favorable side effect profile in relation to toxicity. This doesn't mean it is side effect free, however. The trade off is that it does appear affective in terms of prolonging recurrence.
1190279 tn?1324936257 Hi! Doctors will prescribe either clomid or letrozole to assist with ovulation. There's two main differences: it doesn't have anti-estrogenic side effects like clomid; and although studies have proven letrozole is an effective fertility drug it hasn't been approved by the FDA yet for fertility use, thus isn't covered by insurance (beware it's very expensive). Letrozole was developed to treat estrogen-sensitive breast cancers.
Avatar f tn I'm having around 31 day cycle and I'm of age 30 . I have been on letrozole 2.5mg in my last cycle( first time) CD 3-7 . My OB suggested to have intercourse on CD 13-17, but when I checked with OPK , it showed negative from CD 13-20 . could anyone tell me if I could have ovulated earlier than CD 13 or is there any chance that I could ovulate anyday from CD 21-24 or so . Could anyone please help me with this.
1121300 tn?1426184776 The cost sounds about right (unfortunately). I have been told that the IUI success rates are better in round 3 and 4, once you get used to the drug combo. I have been trying to find an insurance plan that covers fertility as well.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had success with IVF at the Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine (ACRM)???? I've just had my second failed IUI, first with clomid and then the second with letrozole and am considering skipping the 3rd recommended IUI and going straight to IVF. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like if IUI was going to work, it would have worked by now. I'm sure everyone on here can relate, but I'm just so disappointed and every month that goes by gets worse and worse.
Avatar f tn But we had been trying for 6 years, and had tried injectibles, clomid, and several other things. SO I really believe that the letrozole was a major contributing factor in us conceiving.
Avatar f tn I have been on letrozole for 5 months now and nothing.I had a miscarriage in march and have been taking this since march.The only side effects I have had are hot flashes in the beginning but I do get stabbing headaches occasionally.Has anyone else had to go from letrozole to something else that helped get them pregnant.
Avatar f tn then i was used after ovulation 15 progestone tablets for pregnancy protection(if pregnancy is there), Now my RE recomended letrozole 5 mg tablets .I have to start on my 3rd of my period.RE asked ne to use ovulation predictor kits and if perod missed means I have to take an appointment.She didn't give any progestrone tablets after ovulation. Is this the correct way?anybody using femara(letrozole 5mg) please clarify my doubt.
