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!!!!
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.
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.
255732 tn?1318517822 I had my 1st appt with an RE today. He wants to do a superovulation / IUI with Letrozole. I am to take 2 - 2.5mg tablets days 3 - 7. After reading up on this, it is the same thing as Femara right? Has anyone taken this med and does it actually work alone? My other ? is, he said that we can try this for 3 - 4 cycles, but after that we have to think about IVF?? The only things that I have tried in the past are 4 cycles of clomid and 1 IUI. Why would he skip injectables??
Avatar n tn After AF shows in 2 weeks or so - we will start on letrozole with CD3 blood work and U/S and then do another IUI. If that is unsuccessful - we will do IVF. Has anyone done letrozole vs clomid? side affects? BFPs? also - i will be in NY when Af starts - and will hopefully make it back somewhere between CD2-5 or i will have to have CD3 labs and US done up there and rx called in there as well. so nervous and hesitant to spend so much $ - esp when we have a blessing with our 2.5 yr old. thoughts?
519935 tn?1216151210 I am 30 years old and me and my husband have been trying to conceive for 1 year now. Started with 50 mg clomid and went up to 150 mg. changed 2 doctors in the course. Had 1 IUI with Clomid done in Feb'08. Changed to 3rd doctor after that..and he switched me to Letrozole in Mar and did an IUI with it. He also put me on Metformin and Synthroid and said I have mild PCOS. Got laparoscopy done in Apr and found level 2 endometriosis.
Avatar f tn I have been taking letrozole for the last 6 months as well as have had 4 rounds of iui sith no sucess, last month they had my on 5mg of letrozole, this month I decided to cut it back down to 2.5. without the meds i can skip my period for 3mths at a time, on it I get it every month, never missing. i have also never been 10 days late, which i am now......good news, i would wish for a positive, only problem is I took test 2 days ago (which means on 8 day late) and negitive.
Avatar n tn While we are excited, I am terrified that we may have high order multiples. We used Follistim and letrozole. I had an IUI on cycle day 12. On day 9 I had 3 dominant follicles measuring 18 and one smaller one at 12. I did not have another ultrasound after this. I took one more dose of Follistim per my dr. orders and then took my trigger shot on day 10. Should I be concerned?
Avatar f tn re said its probably from the clomid and that if this last iui didnt work they would have to switch my meds. what do they put you on if clomid is causing problems?
Avatar f tn With my fertility specialist, they will do an iui twice for a cycle. Which is today and tomorrow. My gynae just did my iui once in a cycle.
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).
691236 tn?1311199974 I had 2 follicles. My RE now wants me to try Letrozole this time around again with the trigger and IUI. Has anyone tried this drug and what were the differences from clomid? I believe this is the same as femara? Any advice/knowledge you have would be great. Thanks!
1640824 tn?1325888415 My fertility doctor put me on 2.5 letrozole days 3-7. Has anyone got pregnant with this medicine? How long did it take?
Avatar f tn 11.7, 15.8 and 16mm. Back to back IUI was performed at 24 and 48 hours following the HCG. I am curious what others have experienced with regard to follicle size and successful pregnancy? Singleton, twins, another negative, etc...
372900 tn?1315512302 I was told to use OPKs starting cd10 and when I got the LH surge to call RE and set iui for the next morning. So me and my DH went into office that morning and before we done anything they done another vag u/s to check uterine lining and ovulation. I had already ovulated so then they sent my DH to make his deposit and they told us to go have lunch or whatever and come back in 45min. They took us back and we verified the sperm and signed consent forms and the placed the sperm in the uterus.
Avatar f tn I am worried that I did not ovulate and the 2 follicle still might be growing and I will miss the point to do the HCG injection and 3rd IUI because my doc thinks I already ovulated and we missed the chance. I have also been cramping some the past 2 days and having a hint of redish-pinkish discharge. I had high hopes for doubling the dose of meds this cycle and the fact that I actually had more than one growing follicle starting early this time when the 2 past attempts I have only had one.
Avatar f tn Good luck Sally. I'll have my second IUI next week and currently taking letrozole (femara) 5mg days 3-7. Hopefully this round works.
99627 tn?1301270952 DH did SA and morphology is only 4% normal. RE put me on Femara this month and did IUI again, unfortunately did not get pregnant. I started having cramps on 6 DPIUI and spotting. My period came early. I usually have 28 day cycles and I always thought I ovulated on day 14. This past two month U/S confirmed that I ovulated later than I thought. Example: LMP was 2/11,took Femara day 5-9, HCG shot- 2/26, IUI-2/27, Period started 3/09. Do you think I may have LPD?
Avatar f tn Really scared since I had hyperstimulation with clomid. Tried Letrozole for three cycles with iui....no luck. I am on 100 follistim and scared about the side effects and hyperstimulation. Tips and encouragement please!!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn I have three follicles on the right roughly 17, 13 and 12mm and one on the left 14mm. The clinic says we will probably do the iui in two to three days. Has anyone had a similar experience with these numbers. Just curious if others have been told what are good numbers and what to expect. I haven't been given a lot of answers with this. Hope to hear from you!
Avatar n tn , well i was on it for 4 months with one failed IUI, and i stopped taking it, it was making my lining to thin, and i never ovulated on it, i was told that when you stop clomid stays in your system or about 1 months, so you can try with timining bding, but depending on how old you are and if you really want have a baby i would move on to the next step, i 7 weeks today and i got preg. with injectables..so good luck.
1057389 tn?1325465587 I am on my third treatment cycle of letrozole and the last cycle I mistook the break through bleeding as implantation bleeding, which occurred on 6 nonconsecutive days after I ovulated. This is so hard on the heart?!! I hope that this is your month to get pregnant! If any of you are wanting to use letrozole they have a free 30-day trial http://www.femara.com/thank-you6-femara-cares.jsp. This saved me about $330 of infertility treatment.
Avatar f tn March was my second cycle with Femara. I just got my BFP after 2 years TTC. I didn't notice many symptoms of the Femara...we knew it was working because I had ultrasounds on day 10 (first cycle) and day 11. I did an IUI in February (didn't work) and March (like I said, BFP!!!). I did try Clomid a year ago...don't know how well it worked for me because my OBGYN at the time didn't do any monitoring...but I did get some nasty cysts a couple months after stopping it.
Avatar f tn i have done 5 IUI , clomid, letrozole, injectbles,laproscopy,HSG ... and what not ....
Avatar f tn hai i am 24yrs old...i did my 2nd iui...21days after iui i didnt get period but we did blood test ..its negative i have normal 28 days cycle....
