Hi
I did my ovarian drilling on 18/8/16 and i got my period on 20/8/16.But i have stopped bleeding on 22/08/16(is it normal?).On top of that my doctor has advised me to take letrozole from 2 to 6 days during my period.My question is that,should i continue taking letrozole even if i do not bleed?

yes - most peoples periods don't last 7 days.  it's ok if you aren't bleeding when you're taking your femara - and it's ok if you are bleeding.  

femara is better than clomid because it doesn't thin your uterine lining and dry out cervical mucus.  also - there are far less side effects than on clomid.

it's hard to tell when you will ovulate.  its a good idea to start taking opks on cd 8.  if i take femara cd 3 - 7 i usually ovulate around cd 12 or 13.  if i take it cd 5 - 9 then its usually around cd 15 or 16.

good luck!
