letrozole for ovulation

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.

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.

i was told by my doctor i am anovulatory which made me depressed and i was on letrozole for 6 months but dint work..this is the first month i am given letrozole plus FSH injections and this made me produce one dear follicle which was 19mm and was given trigger shot 12 days ago.I took a pregnancy test 9 days after trigger shot which came out negative which confirmed trigger shot was out of my system...but still sore nipples...when should i take the next pregnancy test to see the confirmed result.

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. I've been on letrozole for three months now, and I don't have any of the side effect I had with clomid. I have had good and healthy ovulation since I started taking it. Good luck and baby dust to you!

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.

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.

Hello, has anyone not had much success with clomid to help ovulation so tried a different drug i.e letrozole(femura) instead.

Letrozole reduces estrogen to stimulate ovulation I believe. It stimulates the ovaries. So, side effects for this might include hot flashes, headaches and breast tenderness (kind of like menopause symptoms). Irritability and some anxiety may also be present. Good times, right? But worth it overall. Ovidrel is the trigger shot. It triggers the release of the egg. They probably told you to watch out for hyperstimulation of the ovaries and blood clots.

Hi! I'll be taking femara 2.5 CD3-7 next week for superovulation. Has anyone had success with femara? I'm not counting on it to work after just 1 cycle, but I'm really hoping it will! Does anyone who has taken femara have any advice? Did you ovulate later than usual???? Any info you can give is appreciated!!!!!

soon after i got my periods on sept...nxt for 2 months i was on birth control.from november doctor put me on letrozole , glycomet, folic acid for 2 cyles bt it didnt click out..... then doctor put me on clomid 100mg b failed...nxt she put me on clomid 150 mg,myotol and said to have a follicular study n till d20 i had only one follicle 11*9mm so it failed....currently im on letrozole, humog75,i had 1 follicle 16*13mm on left and 17*16mmon right on d13..on d14 i had hcg5000 .

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.

I'm praying that this cycle of me taking 5mg of letrozole will work with me and my husband.

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

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?

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).

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.

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).

I am on my 2nd round and had positive ovulation 8 days ago. I went for a progesterone test yesterday. Hopefully the Dr has good news for me.

ve heard this has less bad side effects than clomid) which will help my cycles to become shorter and ovulation to happen a bit sooner in my cycle. (My cycles are nearly 40 days right now, with ovulation around 25-30) The pros of this plan would be that it would be cost effective. The cons are that I already ovulate, so I don't get how making ovulation sooner will make me more fertile. 2. Next month, take letrozole and also do inter uterine insemination.

nxt for 2 months i was on birth control.from november doctor put me on letrozole , glycomet, folic acid for 2 cyles bt it didnt click out..... then doctor put me on clomid 100mg b failed...nxt she put me on clomid 150 mg,myotol and said to have a follicular study n till d20 i had only one follicle 11*9mm so it failed....currently im on letrozole, humog75,i had 1 follicle 16*13mm on left and 17*16mmon right on d13..on d14 i had hcg5000 .me n my husb bedded on d13,d15,d16,d17,d18,d19.

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?

It all depends on your results, Clomid is not good for women over 40 because of how it affects the uterine lining, it is not good for implantation. I am 42 and doing back to back retrievals (getting my eggs out and fertilizing them). I am on Clomid and Menopur. I am doing a semi natural IVF. Once that is done they wait for my uterus to get back to normal and then implant the embryos at the optimum time.

It does work and worked for me on the first cycle. I know others who it also worked for. If you are looking for an alternative to clomid it is something you may want to investigate bfore moving on to injectibles. It works in a different way than clomid and therefore may work even if clomid did not.

i was about to take meprate for periods but im waiting for next month for my periods...can i expect my periods this month after taking these tablets..? can i plan for pregancy this month?
