Clomid/Letrzole do you keep taking it for time prescribed even if your period stops?

First period without me taking medication to start it. So must mean the Letrozle worked and I ovulated (woohoo). However I feel like I'm coming off after only 4 days. And I supposed to take the Letrzole from day 2-6 of my cycle.

Can't get in touch with my consultant do I just carry on taking it for the rest of the days even if my period stops?

Thanks in advance.

A period doesn't mean you are ovulating sadly. Look at fertilityfriends website as it will advise the sign to look for etc to suggest you are - I had relatively regular periods but rarely ovulated which is why it took me 3 years to conceive Noah.

Yes continue the medication as some ladies only have a 2 day period or 4 day period so it can vary hugely from one person to the next.

Keep taking it as prescribed, it's all about the cycle - not the period. I always have had short periods including when I conceived on Clomid.

Not what you're looking for?
