"Since I know myself I had irregular periods due to PCOS. My BMI is in normal range and I do not have diabetes. Several years ago I had an ovary torsion surgery due to a large water cyst. Luckily both of my ovaries were saved, but I was always concerned about my fertility. When I decided to get pregnant (age 33) I went to the doctor right away. They gave me letrozole 2,5 ml starting from day 3. Unfortunately, I did not ovulate the first time. I was very upset and worried thinking I might have a problem. They increased the dosage to 5 mg No side effects again, but this time I had a dominant follicule of 17 mm CD11 and 20 mm CD13. It was on my right ovary, where I had the surgery. I was quite skeptical whether it is going to work or not... It did! I am now 6 weeks pregnant! I hope all goes well. Letrozole works, don't lose hope. Thinking of all of you!"

"I have been seeking to get pregnant for years, I already have started IVF and have an embryo, am getting ready for a transfer my doctor prescribed a couple of medications one was letrozole. This drug got me pregnant and I wasn't even paying attention to an intercourse due to already having an embryo. I had sex when I felt like, Boom! I got pregnant. Unfortunately my HCG levels started dropping."

"I took clomid and it was unsuccessful with ovulation. Doc then advised me to take letrozole 5mgs. I took that in cycle 1 and started my periods on day 35. I have now taken it for my second cycle however I am due to start my periods in 3 days. Wish me luck"

"I took letrozle along with HCG shot last month (as trying to get pregnant) and ovulated but still got periods . I am planning to take the letrozole again this month . But may could not take HCG shot because of the (covid) lock down of city. Hope it works. . And deserve the happiness of motherhood."

"I started my first round of letrozole 2.5 mg this month. I pray I see a positive result. My cycle is supposed to start next week. I have been trying to get pregnant for 8 years. I did have fibroids. I had them removed and now I'm dealing with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. I have both of them under control now, thank God. I do have a 15-year-old daughter already, but my fiancé and I are trying to have a baby together. So, I hope and pray this medicine works. Y'all pray for us. Thank you."

"Got pregnant on my 1st cycle with this drug, letrozole unfortunately the pregnancy was unsuccessful. I've since been taking it for 4 months, with obvious signs of ovulation, I'm confident it will work again."

"I got pregnant with letrozole after 1 year and a half of trying to conceive. My 1st OB prescribed me with clomid, and I took it for 3 months, but it did not work. My 2nd OB prescribed me with letrozole, but I had no luck for 3 consecutive months. The 2nd OB then gave me clomid for 2 consecutive months, but still no luck. The 3rd OB gave me clomid for 1 cycle and gave me trigger shots, but still no luck. For the next cycle, we tried again with no medicine intake and experienced a chemical pregnancy. I then transferred to a 4th OB, and they prescribed me with letrozole again with 1 hucog trigger shot for the 1st try of IUI, but still no luck. The 5th OB gave me another cycle of letrozole before the IUI procedure, but still no luck. The next cycle came, and I was still prescribed letrozole, but this time we returned to timing method. I am now 20 weeks pregnant!!! God bless all women praying for a baby. We can do this!!"

"I have done 4 cycles of Femara 5mg from day 2 to 6 with no luck, even though I ovulated on my day 15. My Dr. has increased the dose to 7.5mg a day, hoping for the ultrasound to show number and size of follicles. Please wish me luck, been trying for 5 months to get pregnant."

"I would like to share my experience. I've been in TTC since July 2019 and tried letrozole for a couple of months now. Got my period at November 20, December 20 and January 20. However, as of this time I still don't have period yet. Base on my period tracker I ovulated at February 9. Technically, more or less i'm now 18dpo. I took a pregnancy test multiple times but still negative. I will visit my OB this coming Saturday to check why my period is late."

"I wanted to post on here to share my story and give women who are currently TTC hope, as I was in their shoes not only a few days ago. My partner and I had been trying to conceive for over a year and due to my PCOS condition we knew it would be more difficult. We followed all our doctors orders, first we went to a GP who then referred us to a fertility specialist who prescribed me with 2.5mg of Letrozole taken cycle day 2-6. The first cycle I ovulated (confirmed with blood test) but no pregnancy. 2nd cycle I kept track of my BBT and cervical mucus. I only noticed one day where my CM was egg white and stretchy. I recorded everything on Fertility friend app. I started testing from 7DPO. One each day- sometimes two cause I have no self control. Finally my first BFP arrived at CD15. Please don’t lose hope. It does work. May this story inspire you to hang in there and keep at it."

"My fertility doctor put me on 2.5 mg of Letrozole in the beginning of March & I'm trying for my first baby. I did timed intercourse & did everything right & ended up ovulating but did not get pregnant. AF came a little later than usual. I haven't been told that I have PCOS so I'm assuming I'm having unexplained infertility. I am now about to start my second cycle of Letrozole 2.5 mg. Let's hope I get my positive!"

"Prescribed to take 5mg of femara starting days 3-7 of menstrual cycle. I ended up in the ER about a week later with severe pelvic and abdominal pain. I was told femara had caused a condition called, Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). I developed excessive cysts which caused fluid to build up in my abdominal cavity! Please be careful with this drug!"

"I had been trying to conceive for nearly four years until a private consultant prescribed me letrozole. It took me five cycles before I conceived and now I’m 12 weeks pregnant so please don’t lose hope if it doesn’t work in the first couple of cycles as it can take time for your body to respond to it and it really does work!"

"Its my 4th month. First month on 2.5, then 5 mg. Third and fourth month on 7.5 mg and no luck. Feeling so discouraged. I have PCOS but not the classic kind of PCOS and didn't think it would be so hard to conceive. If anyone has advice I’d really appreciate it. Just feel like giving up"

"The best tablet for getting ovulate and conceive. Please connect with your doctor to find out the root cause of your issue and then do take tablets accordingly. If doctor suggests you letrozole please don't hesitate in taking the medication since this will fullfill your wish of getting pregnant. This is from my personal experience I suggest. Even though in first cycle it didn't work out don't give up please try till doctor suggests. I had irregular periods due to hormonal imbalance since my puberty. After finding the root cause I took letrozole and in third cycle I got pregnant. In first cycle, my didn't work out with the tablet but with the second cycle it actually worked but due to personal issue it didn't form a baby and got periods at the correct time. After getting periods at the correct date, I got really the best hope and took the tablet for the third cycle and the miracle happened. God blessed us. Please take anything with the advice of physicians . Thanks"
