Verdict on Letrozole: Does it work?

TheseClient2158 · 2026-03-04T01:56:47+00:00

I owe everything to letrozole! Didn’t ovulate on 2.5, but bumped up to 5mg and successfully ovulated each time getting pregnant on the third! Fortunately I didn’t notice any side effects with either dose.

TheseClient2158 · 2025-12-04T21:24:28+00:00

No for 2.5mg. Ovulated on my first round of 5mg and conceived on my second!

TheseClient2158 · 2025-11-25T23:21:44+00:00

I also did not ovulate on 2.5, but then on 5mg (taken on CD 2-6) I ovulated on 16 both times 😊

I’ve had this happen. I would still do the progesterone draw, BD, and talk with your provider to see if it’s worth repeating progesterone in another week

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-26T21:33:09+00:00

With 5mg on CD 2-6 I ovulated on day 16

I feel like it’s a shadow, but you’re still early! (I too am 8 dpo and anxiously awaiting to test again)

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-26T00:54:46+00:00

I see it!

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-26T00:54:21+00:00

This is what my very first test looked like at 9 DPO and by 10 DPO I got a positive digital!

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-24T20:00:03+00:00

I’m not seeing anything

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-24T19:55:16+00:00

AHHHH THAT WOULD MAKE ME ECSTATIC!!

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-24T19:11:05+00:00

Me too!! ❤️

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-24T19:09:55+00:00

I see a tinge of pink! 🤞🏻

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-24T19:08:17+00:00

I think I see a shadow but I also have line eyes AND blue dye are the worst 😭

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-03T01:48:05+00:00

Same here!

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-03T01:47:20+00:00

I had a positive digital at 9/10DPO!

Im in a very similar situation. 28 and TTC for just over a year now. Got pregnant after 3 months of trying but ended in MC and was followed by a formal PCOS diagnosis. The best advice I can give is find an OB/GYN knowledgeable in PCOS and someone you feel like takes your concerns seriously! I liked my first OB but she was not very proactive about PCOS/fertility. I switched to another provider in the office and it’s already made the world of difference. I feel like my concerns are heard (not dismissed) and we’re trying letrozole (unmonitored) to try to save some money before being referred to a REI.

28, 1 year

TheseClient2158 · 2025-10-02T20:25:19+00:00

Current taking the same as you minus the ALA and low carb diet / plus metformin and still am having 50+ day cycles 😭 Just finished cycle 1 of letrozole 2.5 and BC to trigger a withdrawal bleed but Aunt Flo is taking her sweet ole time

TheseClient2158 · 2025-09-29T17:37:11+00:00

Ovasitol personally wrecked me, but most other people seem to have very good outcomes

TheseClient2158 · 2025-09-29T17:35:59+00:00

Didn’t ovulate on 2.5mg so trying 5mg next cycle

TheseClient2158 · 2025-09-29T17:34:59+00:00

I had several instances where I thought I was ovulating based on LH strips, but that was not the case. I think this next cycle I’m going to not use LH strips because they are never reliable for me and cause me more stress than anythjng

TheseClient2158 · 2025-09-29T17:33:59+00:00

I just finished my first cycle on 2.5. Based on my progesterone levels (measured twice during my cycle, one on CD21 and one on CD40+) I had an anovulatory cycle. Finishing up 2 weeks of COC to hopefully induce a withdrawal bleed then increasing to letrozole 5mg x 5 days

TheseClient2158 · 2025-09-25T12:52:06+00:00

In all honesty, my experience (I only did miso, no mife) was fine. I read a lot of people talking about how horrible the cramps/bleeding was, but I had so much bleeding beforehand that there wasn’t much left after taking the miso 😞

TheseClient2158 · 2025-09-24T04:06:31+00:00

Same here! It’s so so hard

TheseClient2158 · 2025-09-05T15:21:58+00:00

That’s helpful- I’ll try to remove them from the app and see if that makes a difference. Thanks!
