starting fertility treatment

Anyone get pregnant using femara/letrozole after being given unexplained infertility diagnosis?
How many months did you take it before you got your positive?
Me: 28
Hubby: 30
Sperms analysis perfect,
laparoscopy perfect, all tests for ovulation and ultrasounds looked perfect.
Trying since 2012
no pregnancy yet

This is my 2nd cycle on femara, next ovulation expected on 1/14.
If 3rd cycle not successful,  will do iui with femara

anyone else done this and got pregnant? ?

My fertility doctor prescribed there letrozole to me to take on day 3-7 of my cycle only. It blocks my estrogen enough to make my ovaries kick into overdrive and produce more/larger eggs. I've heard this is a common practice for fertility clinics.

Hello,
Letrozole i s used to treat certain types of breast cancer (such as hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer) in women after menopause. Letrozole is also used to help prevent the cancer from returning. It is not used for fertility treatment rountinely.
Consult a gynecologist to discuss about the treatment options.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
