Letrozole users

[Rina79]

Hi There! On my first round of Letrozole(Femara) and no ovulating is showing. Anyone not ovulate the first month, but then start next couple months, or is this med not like that?? I don't feel the best on it, but will try anything. Had our first little guy a year ago with in vitro. We can't afford that route again, so hoping we are blessed by just doing prescription helpers. But I don't want to keep taking something that makes me feel awful if it isn't going to kick in. Thanks for any help!!

Thank you! I understand the use, but i am just asking if it didn't help show ovulation in the first month, it could still help in the coming months, right? I don't want to quit taking it prematurely, or get my hopes up for no reason.

Hi there,
Femara is a drug which is very effective fertility treatment for women with ovulation problems, or for those with unexplained infertility. It causes increase in the output of FSH and has also been used as an alternative to clomiphene. The chances of conceiving are improved if no other fertility issues are present, the female partner is under 35 years old and a woman who was not ovulating starts ovulating. Do consult your attending doctor for more queries and suggestions. I hope it helps.
Best luck and take care!
