Losing all hope

I’m worried Letrozole is having no effect on me. I am doing unmedicated cycles on the nhs (as per their prescription).

I first took Letrozole 2.5mg 1-6 may and unfortunately came back on my period on 12th may after no ovulation. I only made it to CD 12 before starting my next cycle.

My gynae advised I start letrozole 5mg immediately on 13 - 17 may which I have now completed. I realise it’s extremely early I’m still cycle day 9 but my LH tests are so faint there’s barely even a second line there and I think the exact same thing is going to happen again. I just feel so sad.

id like to know if anyone has experienced something similar but later found that their body finally started to respond?

I tried to research for other people who got their period half way through their letrozole cycle but couldn’t find anything I just feel really alone.

I’ve also been on Metformin and various other supplements for 2 years (no ovulation). My egg reserve is extremely high due to PCOS.

Something doesn’t seem right?

I took letrozole 2-6. No surge and now I am on CD15 and bleeding heavily. Gynae said it hasn’t worked and I’m back to CD1 after a short cycle and is telling me to try 5mg from tomorrow?

No surge and a lot of bleeding

I’m on CD15 now, extremely low OPKs (second line barely even visible) and I’m bleeding like how my period is for the past 2 days. I don’t think this is working for me at all. I took it CD2-6 2.5mg

When did you peak on letrozole

I took it 2-6 days, I’ve only ever ovulated once in the past 2 years and that was very late at CD30.

Waiting is driving me mad. Why do I feel like I’m going to miss it 😢

So excited/nervous. My periods are usually 2-3 weeks long but this month it has already finished and I’m only CD6.

I took my pills CD2-6 as advised by my dr. I’m praying I ovulate this month 🤞🤞🤞🤞🥹

Anyone in the same boat?

This is NHS advice to take it from cycle day 2 until cycle day 6. This is my first round, so I’m just trying to understand what’s normal and what to expect. I’ve been reading a lot online and I see that many people seem to take it from cycle day 5 instead, which has made me wonder if there’s a big difference between the two approaches. Will starting earlier affect how well it works or change the outcome in any way? I’m also curious whether this might mean I’m more likely to ovulate sooner than expected. If anyone has had a similar experience or has been given the same timing, I’d really appreciate hearing how it went for you and whether everything worked as planned.
