My period started Thursday 7/23 and I took Letrozole days 3-7. I have now finished Letrozole and am still bleeding on day 8 and I have a baseline ultrasound on Monday 8/3 to check my follicles to see if I am good to take ovidrel. So my questing is, is it pointless to go to the appointment if I'm still bleeding. Is this cycle going to be pointless???
OK, I have irregular cycles and I also have PCOS, my ob said for my husband and I to. Start trying to conceive, my ob upped my dosage of Metformin to 2, 500mg a day and to stop taking my birth control. He said if I don't have a period within 35 days come back, well its been two days on Metformin and I have already started, but I was wondering how long do I have to take this before I can get Clomid?
since my periods were irregular i went to consult doctr and was adviced to take scan...i was reported that i got pcos and said its a minor problm...i was prescribed to take metformin and ovares capsules for 3 months and i took it for a month i got my periods on 13 oct......another doctor who is friend of mine said to take APCOD since its advanced...i had APCOD next month and this month my periods should be on 13-17 november..but i got only spottings..
However I would recommend two other options. One is to consider a drug called letrozole. Sometimes clomid, although it makes women with PCOS ovulate, causes the uterine lining (or endometrium) to be too thin to support a pregnancy. Letrozole does not have this side effect.
Another set of drugs to consider are injection fertility drugs. It is pretty common for clomid to fail - only about 50% of women who ovulate on clomid actually get pregnant.
I have pcos as well. I would only get a period about every 3 to 4 months. At first I tried ovulation kits, but my periods were just too irregular. For my first child, my Dr put me on metformin. While on that, my periods became a little more regular at every 6 weeks. For this pregnancy, I first tried clomid. That didn't work so I was switched to letrozole. I had just given up on that to go back to metformin, but find out I was pregnant. Good luck!
Hi! I am 27 with pcos and my fertility doctor just had me do my first round of letrozole and today I took my first injection of ovidrel!
I was wondering what to expect ? Side effects/ success rates? Thanks so much in advance!
I have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and have been researching that pregnant women with PCOS have a higher rate of miscarrage. Does this rate of risk decrease if you are taking clomid or have ovarian drilling?
I have undergone the Laparoscopy because I amsuffering from PCOS since 3 yrs. My Dr suggested same hormone medicines after surgery also those are Letrozole, Eve-200 , M2- Tone.. . Can you please tell me is ther a chance to get preganancy quickly. I got married 2 years back. Can I do my daily activities as usually. Please tell me what precautions and diet and excercises I have to follow to get pregnancy. Is there any chance that I will get these PCOs again in my life?
i have pcos and have tried clomide before, of which i did not ovulate on it. i have been on letrozole for the last 4months and have just gone to 5mg day 2-6. i have taken letrozole to concieve. On day 14 i had a scan that showed two follicles size16 and 11. could not have a followup scan so had progestrone level checked on D28.(irregular periods) and it was 34.
Ok, so, doc doubled my Letrozole this cycle and for first time had more than one follicle growing so had hope this time..a little history, I have PCOS and Agressive Endometriosis. 2 failed IUI's so far with letrozole and HCG inj. Before that, Clomid for 9 months with no success. So this time again, follicles on the left stopped growing at 14mm, and the one on the right was 24mm today but was a anuovulated.. Spelling may be wrong.
Hi, I am also on the dosage of Letrozole from D3 to D7. I wanted to know, is it always effective to take this medicine . I also suffer from PCOS. I am on second cycle now and had my MC on CD27 with pre-menstrual discharge on CD26. It lasted for 4days only , so how do i get to know if I actually ovulated or not ?
I used OPKs on CD 10 and CD11 both in the evenings but got very faint line so cant even depend on that to know what happening in my body?
Is there anyone else who has similar issues ?
I have pcos as well. With my 2 yr old, I was on metformin for about 7 months when I conceived. I am now pregnant with my second. This time I tried clomid for 6 cycles the switched to letrozole. After 4 cycles (and about to just go back to metformin) I finally conceived. Good luck!
I do not ovulate on my own and I never get periods due to my PCOS which have been diagnosed 2 years ago. I have been taking Metformin 1500mg/day and sometimes Provera 10mg to get a period and then Letrozole 7.5mg cd 5-9 but never got any results. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 2 years. Im 26 years old and desperate to have a baby.
I was diagnosed with pcos a year ago. 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?
We start Clomid at 100mg next cycle if I am not pregnant this time. Did anyone have luck using just prenatal vitamins? Since I have PCOS, it is really really hard to tell the difference between pregnancy symptoms and just everyday PCOS symptoms.
Ask your doctor about this. Even I have been diagnosed with PCOS an year ago. Once I miscarried and now trying again. I am on fertility medicines Letrozole. What medicines are you taking right now?
So I'm about 3 weeks preg with PCOS. I have been having cramps on and off for day just like normal AF cramps. But I just went to the toilet and when I wiped there was some red blood. Just a little bit only on one wipe.
What could this be, please help!

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
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.
