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 n tn I'm praying that this cycle of me taking 5mg of letrozole will work with me and my husband.
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? ?
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.
1287560 tn?1272216521 Have asked before but want to hear of any positive stories using letrozole(femara) to help with ovulation, this drug is primarily a drug used to help with breast cancer and is still in research stage for fertility problems, my dr is talking with other gp's because is not happy to prescribe it to me.
1287560 tn?1272216521 Hello, has anyone not had much success with clomid to help ovulation so tried a different drug i.e letrozole(femura) instead.
1106060 tn?1269904535 Meanwhile on Monday 3/22 , Ovacue Monitor predicted ovulation on Friday 3/26 but Ovacue testing on Tues indicated that I had already ovulated - so much for early warning. Bottom line, between the thin lining and the odd Ovacue results, my IUI was cancelled for March. I was given a prescription for Femara/ Letrozole (in place of Clomid) for the April cycle. Problem is - I have yet to get my period! Nope, absolutely zero chance of me being pregnant.
Avatar f tn hi there! I am also starting Letrozole (also known as Femara) next cycle onwards...had two failed Clomid cycles..so the Dr now wants to try Letrozole.. till now I have only heard good things about it..so hoping this does the trick..
Avatar f tn I tested 5 days post ovulation and it was negative. I'm hoping I just tested too soon! Was wandering when you girls tested and what test when you got a positive! Thanks!
Avatar m tn Hi There! On my first round of Letrozole(Femara) and no ovulating is showing. Anyone not ovulate the first month, but then start next couple months, or is this med not like that?? I don't feel the best on it, but will try anything. Had our first little guy a year ago with in vitro. We can't afford that route again, so hoping we are blessed by just doing prescription helpers. But I don't want to keep taking something that makes me feel awful if it isn't going to kick in.
Avatar f tn I used it 2 cy les also tracked ovulation with smiley face ovulation test got pregnant second time after using 6 no gi clomid cycles
1360237 tn?1351816181 my new Dr plans to put me on Letrozole...now I do know that a lot of people do get side effects from Letrozole as well but it does not thin the uterine lining like clomid does...so is better that ways... lets see how that goes for me next month!
Avatar f tn First of all, the timing sounds good, as it is always better to have the intercourse or IUI before ovulation so that the little swimmers are there and ready when ovulation takes place. Ovulation usually takes place about 36 hours after the shot. Some REs prefer to do the IUI at about 24 hours after, while others do it closer to 36 hours. As for the follicles, I would think about two of the eggs would have been mature by the time ovulation happened.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone! This is my first month on ovulation pills "letrozole." I look them on days 3-7 of my cycle like the doc said, then after my period, my husband and I have sex every other day. We started Aug 4th... Then on the 8th, I started experiencing cramping on my right side and back pain. A few days it switched to the left side. My breasts are sensitive. And I feel heavy and tired. I'm obese, but this is not the normal heavy feeling. My BBT is usual 98.4 give or take .
Avatar n tn HI, Women with PCOS often have a problem with ovulation and hence may need medical help. Induction of ovulation with either clomiphene or letrozole usually gives good results. However you need to be in touch with your Doctor to prevent side effects of the drugs. These drugs can be used for 3 to 6 months. The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor.
Avatar n tn I tried clomid as well a couple of years ago, with very similar side effects as you describe. The fertility specialist I am seeing now put me on Letrozole. Letrozole is actually a drug used for women with breast cancer. One of the 'side effects' is that it stimulates ovulation. Of course the dose you take for fertility purposes is much lower compared to taking it for breast cancer. I did a little research on my own and found that Letrozole is actually much safer than clomid.
6889053 tn?1386025503 Hello, my husband and I have been trying to conceive since we've gotten married 8 yrs ago. I was diagnosed with pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) in 2006. I'm not overweight, and my cycles come every month but not consistently. Well, this entire month of Nov., I have not gotten my period. I thought I might finally be pregnant so I went to my dr. and the test was negative. How can this be?? I get my period every month, finally miss a cycle, and it's negative?
99627 tn?1301270952 Regardless, one of the treatments for LPD is clomid, or letrozole. In my experience, letrozole (femara) often results in later than expected ovulation - not a bad thing but a characteristic of the medication. Concerning the 4% morphology, a better test of your partner's sperm's ability to fertilize your eggs is your IVF history. Were there any problems with fertilization? Was ICSI used?
Avatar f tn I have had 2 failed IUI's. My doc doubled my dose of Letrozole this month to 5mg days 3-7. Went in on day 10 and had 3 growing follicles, 10mm, 11mm, and 13mm. On day 12 went back in 2 days later and had only 2 follicles and the biggest was only 14mm, so it only grew 1mm in 2 days. Went in for 3rd sono hoping for at least 18-20mm after it being 4 days since last sono, but still only had 2 follicles that were 13mm and 15mm.
Avatar n tn My husband & I have been trying to conceive our first child for almost 1 year with no success. We follow my ovulation calendar but have not had success. I am 31 & my husband is 32, we are both healthy, active adults. My doctor had me try 1 round of Provera with no success in August & 5days of Letrozole in September - just before I started my menstral cycle November 22, the week prior I experienced morning nausea & amazing sense of smell.
Avatar f tn On days 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 I need to take 1T/day of Letrozole (to stimulate folicle growth). From day 8 onwards 2T/day of Progynova (to ensure thickening of my uteral lining) and from the 3rd day after ovulation, I need to take Duphaston. I can tolerate Letrozole and Duphaston without any problems. But Progynova gives me horrible side effects: dizziness, extreme low energy level and anxiety attacks (never had anxiety before).
Avatar f tn Hi, Typically ovulation monitoring is carried out along with ovulation stimulating drugs like Letrozole. The monitoring can be done through external sonography but infertility specialists prefer vaginal sonography to find out the exact date when you ovulate and also the size of follicle(s).
13952447 tn?1433188460 It was bright red, so I assumed it was AF, even though it was early. Well I stopped bleeding that same day, and nothing else since. I didn't even need a pad, just a panty liner. Also, I had some cramping, which is gone now, I feel very bloated, and my breast are sore. I guess I'm afraid to test and get another bfn, but the bleeding 10 dpo has me very confused. Anyone have any advice?
1626928 tn?1378850167 5mg two times a day of femara/letrozole and 1500mg a day metformin. I am curious about side effects, advice, success stories, etc. I am anxious and have been TTC for 3 years total, 2 with a doctors assistance. THANK YOU in advance.
