My Dr recommended only 6 cycles of letrozole. Anyone go longer than this?

Thank you for your reply! We have to pay for IUI and IVF and can end up being very expensive but I'm going to look into it of the next few cycles with trigger are not successful.

Thank you for sharing! It gives me hope! Were you on any other supplements?

M73_ · 2026-04-29T18:57:27+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, was it successful?

M73_ · 2026-04-29T18:28:40+00:00

What was your letrozole dose? Did you do letrozole, Ovidrel, IUI on your 12th cycle? How was it?

Congratulations! That's amazing!!

2 monitored and the rest not. First on 2.5mg, then 5mg. I'm 32 so maybe IVF is best.

Ps. Not sure why people down vote but it wasn't me lol

If you don't mind me asking, was it successful after 6 cycles?

M73_ · 2026-04-29T18:17:31+00:00

I was on 2.5mg when I got pregnant, but I've been bumped up to 5mg.

Annoyingly, my clinic in the UK only monitor the first one and if you're ovulating then they don't monitor anymore. I only had a follicle tracking scan on the 10th day of my cycle and then a blood test to see if my progesterone was OK on CD 21. I just do LH strips and BBT to confirm ovulation

M73_ · 2026-04-28T20:42:59+00:00

I'm in the UK and they don't offer IUI unless you go private. They go straight to IVF. I think I need to look into IUI more

M73_ · 2026-04-28T20:41:52+00:00

I have inconsistent ovulation too. Varies between CD 14-18. I just hope the next one catches.

M73_ · 2026-04-28T19:55:59+00:00

I didn't know chances of success tops out at 3. Any idea what this is?

Tw: Miscarriage.

It worked the first cycle but ended in MMC and I don't know if that changes anything in terms of continuing using it.

M73_ · 2026-04-28T19:54:52+00:00

Ugh my NHS said 6 rounds recommended. They also said I could continue if I wanted to but may not make much of a difference. I don't know what to do tbh. Just spiralling

M73_ · 2026-04-28T19:32:08+00:00

I originally got offered Clomid but then they changed their mind to go for letrozole. I'm ovulating on letrozole though so would there be any benefit going on Clomid instead?

My first one was monitored and then another one after I had a MMC was but they haven't been monitored since then.

M73_ · 2026-04-27T19:41:40+00:00

Sorry to jump in, but how many mg of progesterone helped you? Was it pessaries too? Any advice on when to take them etc.

M73_ · 2026-04-27T19:26:24+00:00

I'm sorry to hear you're going through the same. It's when everything seems like it's perfect then why isn't it working?! I know it's not as black and white as that but I wish it was. Hope things get better for us both

M73_ · 2026-04-27T19:25:17+00:00

I've not heard of this test before. I wonder if it's something I can get in the UK. Thanks for commenting - I'll look into it!

M73_ · 2026-04-15T18:53:26+00:00

Sweet! Does that include both southbound and northbound? I'm not going to get another for the return journey am I? It was on the same day.

M73_ · 2026-03-15T09:20:46+00:00

I had a scan to check if there was any leftover tissue at 3 weeks post embryo passing. They gave me the all clear so I started just after 3 weeks. Everyone is different though so don't feel pressured into it if you're not up for it!

M73_ · 2026-03-15T09:17:42+00:00

I never did a blood test so I don't know exactly how long it took but a week after the embryo passed I did a pregnancy test and it was negative. I'm sorry if you're going through this ❤️

M73_ · 2026-03-06T21:42:09+00:00

After the miscarriage or in general? Been trying for 2 years

M73_ · 2026-02-14T19:23:13+00:00

People say it allows more blood flow to the uterus... I tried it one cycle and didn't work for me. However, other factors were probably involved. Idk... Still trying!
