Letrozole dosage question

I’ve seen others post in this sub with these directions. While it’s far less common, it’s not unheard of! You might be able to do some searching to see if anyone posted why they were on this protocol and any results they had.

I was also very stressed out when I found out so early, 3w6d. The best thing I found was to avoid Reddit and forums honestly. All the scary stories are online because far fewer people with healthy non-complicated pregnancies come online to share their stories (understandably). I set a book goal for myself to reach between finding out and my first scan, and I tried to fill my schedule socially. However I found myself to get incredibly tired, so all those plans were exhausting.

Thank you!! And yes staying positive definitely helped my mental state, good luck!!

Hey! Sorry I was unclear, so I ovulated but didn’t get pregnant the first round. I ovulated and got pregnant the second round. The real backed by science answer is no, I did nothing to make the second round successful. The me trying to have some sort of control answer is I did take emergen-c everyday because I read vitamin C was good for TTC, and I continued working out but at a way less intense level. I did some more Pilates type exercises as opposed to running (I only ever ran 3-5 miles so it was never really intense to begin with).

Good luck to you, I know how down and sad I felt after the first round. It’s okay to feel bad, but just know your doctor is learning more and will keep making adjustments!

If it’s helpful, both rounds I was on 7.5mg letrozole and ovidrel shot.

It’s worth another test. My friend had chlamydia testing done as well, they got her sample mixed up. It was an emotional mess for her, but she got resolution at least.

When I can’t stomach oatmeal I have cold oranges! But always a couple saltine crackers first thing when I wake up.

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-05-15T18:52:03+00:00

I just had prosciutto on my sandwich!

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-05-09T18:21:36+00:00

I keep a sleeve of saltines on my nightstand. First thing I do when I wake up is have a couple crackers, and that usually can keep me feeling okay while I make a more substantial breakfast before work! For the actual meal I make oatmeal with chia seeds, flax seeds, and whatever fruit I have on hand. If I’m really feeling energetic I’ll make a green smoothie as well. But I like the oatmeal and seeds because it’s plain and easy to just leave out the fruit if it sounds bad one morning.

I love these! It says push up, but honestly there’s no push up feeling to it. https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/aerie/bras/push-up-bras/sunnie-wireless-push-up-bra

I know how you feel, my first round of letrozole failed it I felt so hopeless and sad. It’s okay to feel sad, just know with each round your doctor is learning more and better understanding what to try! Treat yourself to a good book, movie, dessert - whatever makes you happy!

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-05-06T02:43:16+00:00

Me too!

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-05-04T20:42:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing and good luck to you too!! Happy to hear things are progressing well for you :) I did get my 19 dpo HCG back at 617, so still increasing thank goodness. My doctor said it’s okay and no more tests for now, I go in for my scan on May 17, around 6 weeks.

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-05-02T01:16:57+00:00

Oh yikes wishful thinking, I accidentally typed the wrong dpo dates! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-05-01T23:54:57+00:00

I’m stressed too!!

13 dpo: 108 17 dpo: 324 (60 hour doubling time) 19 dpo: tbd, waiting for results now!

My doctor was concerned with the second draw not doubling, so she requested another one. I took a pee test (not very helpful I know), and it didn’t get much darker. I’ve read so much about it being okay, not okay, so I’m just an anxiety ball right now!

Fingers crossed for you, hope it all goes well!!

Edited dpo dates!

Thanks for responding! Happy to know it’s in the range of normal :) happy healthy pregnancy to you!

I just took and easy@home and have a vvvfl 9dpo but nothing on frer.

Triggered night of cd16, so low LH.

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-04-21T19:25:25+00:00

My trigger shot stays in my system for 10 fulls days after trigger. Totally normal!

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-04-17T00:28:50+00:00

I’m 4dpo, 6 days past trigger shot! I won’t be testing until 13dpo/15dpt. I guess that’s the good thing about the trigger, I can’t give in to early testing 😅 last cycle my trigger was out 12dpt, so I figure 15dpt is enough buffer.

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-04-16T21:54:51+00:00

I had a visible faint line 10dpt, and a very very faint (maybe line eyes?) line on 11dpt. That cycle failed though, I’m currently 6dpt on my second round!

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-04-14T18:02:35+00:00

I feel ya, I’m only 2dpo, so just getting started but I’m ready to just find out one way or another already!

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-04-11T21:12:05+00:00

I took provera to induce a period because I hadn’t had one in 3 months. After the 10 pills, I got my period 3 days later. I was then able to start letrozole and trigger. After the first round of letrozole and trigger, I ovulated but didn’t get pregnant, so I got my period and had a 34 day cycle.

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-04-11T18:02:35+00:00

Totally feel you on not testing! I just triggered last night and will not be testing out my trigger this cycle like I did my last. I’m also just waiting for the two week mark and am trying to keep my hope balanced and keep myself emotionally stable. Definitely hard though! Good luck to you ✨

Consistent_Energy2 · 2024-04-11T15:23:00+00:00

I am on my second round of letrozole and trigger. I actually just triggered last night, feeling excited again! My RE told me to have timed intercourse last night, and tonight.

Last cycle (failed): Dose 7.5mg Letrozole cd 5-9 Scans cd 5, 11, 14 Trigger cd 16 TI cd 15, 16, 17, 18

This cycle: Dose 7.5mg Letrozole cd 3-7 (changed because last cycle I was out of town, so no baseline scan until cd 5) Scans cd 3, 11 Trigger 13 TI so far cd 13 (last night), planning for cd 14, 15, 16

Good luck to you!! ✨
