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?
Avatar n tn Hi, I miscarried at 8 weeks pregnant and had the d&c 3weeks 4days ago. Just before i found out i was pregnant my doctor had prescribed me letrozole femara which I didnt end up needing to take. Unfortunately, because I was so overwhelmed with grief over the miscarriage and could not think rationally, I decided to take the letrozole counting the bleeding from the d&c as a period in which i used from day 2 throught to day 6.
Avatar f tn Hello, Letrozole i s used to treat certain types of breast cancer (such as hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer) in women after menopause. Letrozole is also used to help prevent the cancer from returning. It is not used for fertility treatment rountinely. Consult a gynecologist to discuss about the treatment options. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
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.
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.
Avatar f tn Hello, havnt had late period due to letrozole but wanted to reply to your post as I am in exactly same position as you, had Alfie at 38yrs and have been trying for sibling since, i''m 41, nearly 42 , tried clomid , gave me cysts after 4 cycles, had 4 unsuccessful ivfs(taking every bit of our savings nearly £20000) and now back to trying naturaly(alfie was natural)-cannot try letrozole as not licsensed in U.
Avatar n tn My OB/GYN put me on 250mg of Clomid. I had a period on Feb 8 and the day I was scheduled for my ultrasound (Feb 15) I start bleeding like another period. Since I've had a lap and d&c, my periods are a lot shorter and mostly spotting. I am taking clomid on cycle days 5-9. Until Feb 15 (after the surgery) my periods never really "flowed" just some clotting. My doc. suggested waiting a few more weeks and do a pregnancy test.
Avatar m tn //www.onclive.com/view/letrozole-maintenance-therapy-improves-rfs-in-ovarian-cancer- 2.5 mg is the typical dose used in studies. What side effects are you experiencing? And what does your prescribing physician/oncologist say?
1550414 tn?1294039186 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.
1190279 tn?1324936257 In my case I opted for clomid/iui because of the costs of letrozole. This last cycle I was successful with a combo of clomid/injectibles/iui. Hang in there and good luck!!
1340383 tn?1309990914 I was on Clomid but asked my RE about Letrozole because I have a friend who got pregnant twice on second round of IUI with Letrozole. RE said it was merely doctor preference. My RE has higher success rates with clomid so that's what he prescribes, but his partner in the same clinic uses Letrozole almost exclusively. I'm sure that wasn't very helpful... but thought I'd share.
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.
Avatar f tn 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!
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 i'm only 24. do you think it's ok to use letrozole? i've been on ortho evra for a year then me and my fiance decided to have a baby soon. I had an abortion before and now we are having a hard time to get pregnant. On my first pregnancy, i got pregnant as soon as i finished my period and not using the patch. Do you know if the abortion makes me having a hard time now, or is it the patch? please help.

Avatar f tn Femara 5 mg for days 2 - 6 shortens my cycle by about 1 week (ovulate about day 14 instead of around day 20-21). My previous femara cycle resulted in my second daughter (with IUI). Am in middle of a new cycle now and did the IUI 2 days ago. So TWW for now.
Avatar m tn Letrozole is effective in increasing final adult height. Many medical studies have shown that. Most doctors don't know it yet. The recommended dose of 2.5 mg is actually not necessary. 0.3 mg will provide similar effects.
