Hi PCOS. Providing your Fallopian Tubes are clear and the sperm is good, then it’s worth trying. Good luck. Diane

Hiya, I'm in the same boat. I've already had 3 months and no luck unfortunately. Our consultant has prescribed us another 3 months before we can move to IVF so I'm just waiting to start on them again.

I've read about really mixed responses to Letrozole and how for some women it worked on their first cycle, for others not until their 5th or 6th cycle so that gave me hope to keep trying.

Fingers crossed for us both that we get a result with Letrozole! I guess it's good to try before getting into IVF as it's not as invasive etc, but I know what you mean, there's always that worry in the back of your mind about wasting time, especially when you just want to crack on and see some progress!

Hi really hoping the next month is for you❤️ , do you have pcos? Any other issues? I am on my last day of provera it is so horrible! . Will then just wait on a withdrawal bleed to start days 2-6 .

Thank you! Same for you 🤞🤞

Yeah I have PCOS, I didn't know until we started trying and got nowhere, now that I know, a lot of things make sense! But other than that, everything else checked out fine for us which was a relief. How about you?

I'm almost 37 so I'm hoping I've got a few fertile years left in me 🤣🤣

I've not had to take Provera before but it sounds rubbish ☹️

Oh one side affect you may experience on Letrozole is night sweats. My partner woke up in the middle of the night whilst I was taking Letrozole and he saw sweat pouring down my forehead and he was thinking bloody hell it's not that hot 🤣🤣

I can imagine!! Oh i take it you have periods? I do not ovulate so no periods! Hence the provera . It has been horrible! . I really Hope letrozole works for you . I guess if we are ovulating with letrozole it gives us a chance like any other woman without pcos . And it can take a few months to get pregnant for a fertile couple with no issues.

The provera is horrible my last day today then wait for a bleed🤞🏻
