"I have been trying to conceive since 2018. Still no luck, had 2 miscarriages. Then the doc recommended a gynecologist. First, she gave me Clomid for 6 cycles. I had a very bad experience with horrible side effects and no luck with Clomid. Now she gave me Letrozole, it's my second round. I got my period on a 32-day cycle. Now let's see if a miracle will happen. Hoping to get positive news, wish me luck."

Letrozole "We tried for a year and a half to fall pregnant, then I discovered I had fibroids and had to have them surgically removed. Eight months later, I discovered I had gallstones and had to have my entire gallbladder removed, which was another setback. Four months after my gallbladder removal at 42 years old, the fertility professor who removed my fibroids did an ultrasound and said I have a few eggs, but my age is against me and I would need to go on Femara along with artificial insemination. My partner was not keen on AI, he was more inclined to let it happen naturally, believing it to be God's will. I was prescribed Femara to take two tablets for five days, starting on the third day of my period. I took it in September without AI and saw no results. I got my periods in October again and decided to give Femara one last try, after that, I was going to give up as I thought it was just not meant to be. In November 2021, I was one week late for my period. I took a pregnancy test, and to my delight, it was positive. There is hope, ladies! Wishing you all luck with baby dust. X"

"I have been diagnosed with PCOS more than ten years back. I had so many symptoms of PCOS struggling me these many years, which includes obesity, facial hair, depression, anxiety, etc. After marriage, I was about to start my fertility treatment but before that decided to lose weight. I lost almost 18 kgs within six months with a healthy diet and moderate exercise every day and regularized my period. Then I tried letrozole cycle day 3-7. First month no luck, second month no luck, third month finally, God answered my prayer. Now I am five weeks pregnant. Please pray for me. Baby dust to all the women reading my comment. Don't give up, don't lose hope. Try... Try... And try... Surely will succeed."

"I struggled for many years to try to conceive. About 5 years ago, I started taking letrozole 2.5mg once a day. I wasn't producing follicles so after 2 months, they upped my dose to 2.5mg twice a day, and this was working. But they wanted to give me an extra boost to make me ovulate, so they prescribed me an HCG shot to take to ovulate. I now have a healthy 4-year-old and a healthy 2-year-old. It took me 5 months to get pregnant with my 4-year-old and 7 months to get pregnant with my 2-year-old. Now crossing my fingers because I have been on letrozole with HCG shot for going on the 7th month. Good luck to you all."

"I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility. I took Femara one month shy of a year, started at 2.5 then upped to 5mg. After almost a year, I went to a new doctor. We set up a plan and just let my last cycle of medication run its course from the other doctor. My next month appointment, she was in delivery with other patients and I had to reschedule. I was desperate and just started googling everything. My husband and I were having sex multiple times a day, but I had read online that if you have sex during the next couple days after ovulation, the egg won’t implant. The percentages were high, so after ovulation, we waited three days. A week later, I was pregnant. It was literally the only thing we did differently. Two years of trying non-stop, we finally did it. I honestly think waiting after ovulation is what did it for us. I never heard this before."

Letrozole "I recently found out I have PCOS. My periods were regular, never late. Then I went to my Dr. She gave me Femara. I just took my first pill 2-5 days of my period, and I'm still hoping this month or year to get pregnant. Keep on praying."

"I have PCOS and have been trying to conceive for 2 1/2 years. My doctor prescribed Letrozole 2.5mg for days 3-7 but since I did not conceive the first month, he upped it to 7.5mg for days 3-7. I am now on my fourth cycle with no luck. My periods have regulated and I have fertile discharge and ovulation cramping when I'm supposed to, but even sex every two days hasn't led to a positive pregnancy test."

"I have been trying to get pregnant for 15 years. I only got one son, he's 16. I wanted two back-to-back and be done, but that didn’t happen. The doctor prescribed me letrozole 2.5 for cycle days 3-7. I got a faint positive test one day before my missed period. I’m 5 weeks pregnant."

"I had been trying to conceive for 18 months with two miscarriages and no luck for a sticky pregnancy. I took one round of letrozole 2.5 mg cycle days 3-7 with progesterone suppositories after a confirmed ovulation lab. I got pregnant and tested positive on 8 dpo! Currently 7 weeks and about to head in for my first ultrasound. Letrozole works! I am amazed."

"I’ve been trying to conceive from 2017 to 2022. I was seeing an endocrinologist, and all he suggested was IVF. Finally, I saw a new endocrinologist in January 2022, and he was great. This doctor suggested I take Letrozole 2.5 mg twice daily to ovulate because I have PCOS. He also suggested I get the digital ovulation Clear Blue test so I can test for ovulation. I did exactly what the endocrinologist told me to do and got a positive ovulation test on February 8th and 9th. Positive pregnancy test on February 22nd and a beta hCG blood test to confirm pregnancy levels of 1449. I’m currently 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant, early I know, but Letrozole worked for me. I have had problems getting pregnant for 5 years, one HSG, almost did an IUI, and now I’m pregnant. I’m so excited Letrozole worked from day 3 of my cycle to day 7. I had no side effects in taking Letrozole."

"I have taken letrozole 2.5 mg from day 2 to day 6 in Aug 2020, but I got my periods. Then my doc recommended me clomid 50 mg next month, but I didn't take it as my flow was very light. Now my doc again recommended me letrozole 2.5 mg, so hoping for a positive test next month. Wish me luck, and please pray for me... may everyone get a baby soon."

Letrozole "If you came here to look at reviews, that means you are planning to conceive, and baby dust to all hoping for pregnancy, including me. I found out last year that I have PCOD and that my thyroid (hypothyroidism) is extremely high; it was 11 and is now around 4, so I need to reduce it even more for conception. My gynecologist advised me to take Clomid for two cycles without success, and this month she advised me to take Femara (letrozole) from the second day of my period to the fifth day. I really hope it works. I read a lot of your reviews and got a positive feeling! Insha Allah, I get my positive news soon, and I hope the same for every other woman who is looking forward to pregnancy! We've got to be strong and positive! Lots of love to all."

"My story: I did not have any periods for a year and, after tests, was diagnosed with PCOS. I was referred to a fertility clinic as I had been trying to conceive for over a year. They started me on 2.5 mg letrozole to kickstart ovulation, but I didn’t ovulate in the first month, so the dose was doubled to 5 mg (two tablets), and I began to ovulate, which was good news. However, unfortunately, after 6 months of taking double letrozole, I have not had a pregnancy. I’m now being referred for IUI/IVF. Everyone is different, and it’s nice to see the success stories here. Many ladies seem to have achieved pregnancy with letrozole, which is lovely, it gives us hope. Stay strong and keep going."

"I hope you all get pregnant, but this is a drug review site. That being said, here is my review. I have PCOS and conceived on the first round of letrozole in December 2019. I miscarried in January. I conceived again on the second round in July 2020 and miscarried in September. I am currently on my next round: 5 mg, days 3-7, and the side effects are tiredness, dizziness, blurred vision, depression, and anxiety. It’s only 5 days, ladies. It’s worth it. It works. Hang in there."

"I wanted to share this to give people hope, as I was the one sitting here reading all comments recently. I have PCOS and was put on Letrozole as I was trying to conceive since July, only had 2 cycles and wasn’t ovulating. Went to a gynecologist who put me on 2.5 mg on cycle day 5-9 and he advised that generally a lot of women ovulate around day 17. This was my first cycle on the medication, I was getting symptoms on cycle day 17/18 and decided to try an ovulation test on day 18 (always had negatives with ovulation tests as I know these aren’t reliable with PCOS) and for the first time ever, it came back with a positive smiley face, so we made sure to try then. I was getting some early pregnancy symptoms around cycle day 24 but could also be mistaken for PMS, so didn’t want to overthink it. I took a pregnancy test yesterday, dpo 12/13 and got my first BFP!! I have a doctor's appointment in a few days to confirm, so fingers crossed everything goes ok."

"I have PCOS. I have taken Clomid for 3 months to try and get pregnant, but it didn't work. Now my doctor gave me letrozole 2.5 mg. However, after my last day of my period, I am still having vaginal bleeding. Is that normal?"

"Since I know myself, I had irregular periods due to PCOS. My BMI is in the normal range, and I do not have diabetes. Several years ago, I had an ovary torsion surgery due to a large water cyst. Luckily, both of my ovaries were saved, but I was always concerned about my fertility. When I decided to get pregnant (age 33), I went to the doctor right away. They gave me letrozole 2.5 ml starting from day 3. Unfortunately, I did not ovulate the first time. I was very upset and worried, thinking I might have a problem. They increased the dosage to 5 mg. No side effects again, but this time I had a dominant follicle of 17 mm CD11 and 20 mm CD13. It was on my right ovary, where I had the surgery. I was quite skeptical whether it was going to work or not... It did! I am now 6 weeks pregnant! I hope all goes well. Letrozole works, don't lose hope. Thinking of all of you!"

"I took Clomid, and it was unsuccessful with ovulation. The doctor then advised me to take letrozole 5 mg. I took that in cycle 1 and started my periods on day 35. I have now taken it for my second cycle, however, I am due to start my periods in 3 days. Wish me luck."
