Hi ladies, I've just taken my 1st dose 7.5mg of letrozle today on cycle day 2,have to continue up to cycle day 6. Anyone got any experiences on letrozle like side effects etc and have successfully concieved? I'm just nervous as I have low amh too along with other blood test levels which are being dealt with. Many thanks x

I’m on my second round of letrozole, I’ve literally just finished. My first round went well, I conceived however I did have a miscarriage at 9 weeks, second time round now, I’ve also been taking metformin on this cycle. I’d definitely say my second time round it has been difficult, headaches, hot sweats and just being exhausted, I’ve constantly felt sick also so been struggling to eat, it’s been a bit of a roller coaster for me, Hoping it will all be worth it this time.

i really hope so lovely. Just to ask how come your taking metformin ? How's your amh levels? I'm due to go next week for follicles scan I'm soo scared that they won't see any and this letrozle will be a waste of time

on my last cycle I didn’t take it, so they’ve given it me on this one for my insulin resistance due to pcos, I went for my follicle scan yesterday and I had 4/5 that looked like they were growing nicely so try and be positive, hopefully your scan will go well

The side effects are hot flushes, difficulty sleeping, tiredness, headaches and a bit moody. But hopefully these improve over time.

Take care

I did four cycles of letrozole, each time I had headaches and was a bit irritable but nothing overly bothersome! Best of luck x

thankyou for replying. Just to ask did you take folic acid and other supplements whilst taking letrozle? How you getting on?
