Experiences with

Ovulation induction

Hi, I was just wondering for those who went through ovulation induction, how long did it take for follicle size to reach 18mm? I’m currently day 13 and follicles are 11.5mm, so I’m just wondering what everyone else’s experiences were? Thanks.

I'm on the wait list for IVF but Dr said I can do ovulation induction while I wait.

I had my first ever positive pregnancy test last week after 3 cycles of ovulation induction with letrozole. Still can’t quite believe it and testing daily just to check it’s still positive 😅 I think I am probably 4 weeks…. Based on my last bleed with provera but ovulated late on letrozole.

Hi, I’ve surprisingly had a positive pregnancy test following my third cycle of letrozole (first and only time I’ve responded to letrozole). Feeling very surprised, shocked and happy. I’m day 17 post trigger shot / day 16 post ovulation. I told my fertility clinic Friday of the positive test and

I am likely to do “ovulation induction” with letrozole. Just waiting a few more tests. I was wondering if anyone wants to share there experience with letrozole and scans etc.

I’ve started my first round of ovulation induction for PCOS with Letrozole 2.5mg. Had my day 10 scan yesterday. Follicles very small and no dominant follicle.

(PCOS, 18months TTC, 2 cycles of Letrozole for ovulation induction which I haven’t responded to). We would all talk about being on maternity leave together, our future babies etc and are all very close friends. One of the woman has recently fallen pregnant after 1-2 months of TTC.

Is ovulation induction unlikely to be an option? Thanks

I'm BMI ~32.5 right now and I need to be <30 to be eligible for ovulation induction. This has been very frustrating as I struggle to lose weight due to PCOS and I'm also not getting any help with managing my pcos as well.

I know ovulation induction can thin the lining but wondering if anything else bar IVF? What’s the waiting time on NHS for IVF in London? Thanks

Thought this was positive then told can't have ovulation induction only as the tube will be damaged. Best to skip the tubes and go to IVF. Got our heads round that jumped through all the multiple hoops and tests to get a consultation to be told I need to have tubes clipped. First Dr didnt say this.

Hi All Has anyone had this treatment for any of their cycles, I’m doing Ovulation Induction with IUI and was just wandering if you all had any tips of how to deal with side effects and self injections with either Menopur or Gonal. Any help/advice would be appreciated x

Or too many ovulation induction attempts?I've been told the risk of ectopic is high as I have a damaged and blocked fallopian tube and they attract the embryo.

Hi Everyone, so I know no one here can tell me what defintely may come next, but I’m looking for any opinions or especially any similar experiences because I’m losing my mind😞💔 so long story short- I have pcos. Irregular and prolonged bleeding. conceived our daughter in 2020 after ovulation drilling

if ovulation induction hasn’t been successful (I ovulate, but have breakthrough bleeding) what do you think they may suggest next? Any previous experiences? Xxx

So I went to another doctor to do semen analysis and hormone tests, but instead of doing any of that, I got told to do ovulation induction, with letrozole, follicle tracking and some injection - I have no idea what any of these really are, I just thought it would give me best chance of getting pregnant

I may be offered ovulation induction medication to start with, Clomifene or letrozole (🤞🏻). If this is the case, would this likely be discussed at my first appointment/started soon after? My real concern is that my current BMI is 33, despite working hard on calorie counting and going to the gym.

Hello, I’ve had a whirlwind of a few weeks which included a totally unselected BFP following our last round of ovulation induction before moving to IVF in the new year. Of course I was anxious but really thought this could be my lucky break and naturally got carried away imagining future baby.

Hello I have been having ovulation induction treatment and am planning to start IVF soon. On a recent scan, a 5mm submucosal fibroid showed up and I was very lucky that my private health cover entitled me to an appointment and should cover the costs of surgery.

Hubby and I are planning to go for ovulation induction, at least that is what we can afford now. Please is it ok to go for ovulation induction after 2 failed ivf?
