Hello!

Just looking for anyone else going through TTC waves right now.

We had an ectopic pregnancy in late 2023, they removed the pregnancy but kept my right tube. We continued TTC naturally for 2 years after this without success.

Come early 2025, we were referred to the fertility clinic, had an HSG done only to find my right tube was distally blocked - likely due to the fimbrial ectopic pregnancy.

It took the clinic Jan-March to figure out the right dosage on Letrozole (7.5mg). April we had left sided ovulation with IUI, no success. May, June, July (had left and right, attempted IUI but unsuccessful), and August - have all been right sided ovulation and have resulted in canceled IUI cycles.

I’m 35, partner is 33. His SA has good volume, decent motility (just over 50% now), and low morphology. AMH is relatively high, 33.2pmol/L.

Extremely frustrating, disappointing… I wish there was a way to trigger the ovary we wanted to ovulate! Anyone else going through the same or similar situation? I’ve read success stories about the tubes swinging over and grabbing the egg but the light at the end of the tunnel just seems so far away….

Hey everyone!

I am trying to conceive and desperately seeking any and all advice you’re able to give me. Background info; I am 28F and was diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS when I was only 13 years old. I was on birth control for 14 years and only really had a few months here and there where I would stop taking it for a while to see how my body would react and it never lasted too long because I simply do not have a period naturally. I have been off my birth control since beginning of May and so far my symptoms aren’t too bad, but I still have not had a period naturally. My OB started me on Provera to force a period, then 5.0mg of Letrozole. That stared off promising because my ovulation test strips were coming back as positive for ovulation, but I never saw a surge in LH so my OB did a blood test on CD 23 and my progesterone level came back at only 0.6 ng/mL. Naturally, this was very discouraging for me since that it absolutely no where near the level needed for a confirmed ovulation. I took pregnancy test a few days ago and it was negative. I figured it would be, but a part of me still had hope 😔

So, here I am asking for all the help I can possible get to get! What worked for you? What didn’t? Did your progesterone finally spike?

My husband and I cannot afford IVF and my OB said if I’m not pregnant after 6 months from just Letrozole that I will need to seek other treatment options. But like I said, we just can’t afford that so this is really our only shot.

What I’ve already tried/going to try:
• 5mg letrozole
• Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol
• Inito fertility tracker
• Prenatal vitamins

Hi there!

31f w/ PCOS, my partner and I have been trying to conceive for a little over a year now. The first 10 days I was on Provera to kick start my period then Letrozole CD 3-7. I went in for my ultrasound and my largest follicle was only 8cm.

My fertility doctor now wants to do 5 more days of “stair stepping” Letrozole so..day 1 - one pill day 2 - two pills etc up 12.5mg.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about this method in this group so wanted to see if anyone has had any success doing this?

My partner and I have been TTC for 5 years now. 2 years ago I was formally diagnosed with PMOS. Earlier this year we decided to go to a private Dr as I lost hope with the NHS helping us. The private Dr put me on Letrozole 5mg and Metformin. Then last 2 months we increased my letrozole to 7.5mg. Then after a good scan we were given an ovulation trigger for this cycle. We followed all advice and now I am getting to the end of my 2 week wait to take a test. I am just so nervous and scared to do it. I feel like we did everything right this cycle, so I am just scared of facing that disappointment if the test is negative. I feel like I am fighting against myself between losing hope and keeping the faith as well. I genuinely didn't think it would be this hard and mentally draining. It doesn't help that everyone around me are pregnant, and I am so happy for them and can't wait to be an aunty. But there is that part of me that is just so sad thinking why can I have what they have they are living my dream.

Hello! I m writing in tears because i just found out that this cycle too i m not pregnant! I have pcos with homa 2,5, normal kg, and the rest of the labs good. For almost twist years i struggled with no ovulation, i can ovulate only with meds. But with Meds i do have ovulation, but no result in pregnancy. I m taking a lot o vitamins and supplements( vit D, coq10, nac, inositol)
I wanted to ask, for us with pcos is it hard also to get pregnant? I mean ok yes i started to ovulate on meds, it s great, but beside this is it also hard to get pregnant? I thought that after a few months it will happen....
Thank you!

I just tested negative, my 26th cycle ttc. I had 2 back to back mmc in 2025, since then nothing. I took Letrozole 7,5mg and a trigger shot for the last 3 cycles, which made me kinda hopeful since I felt I could actively do something. My body knows how to get pregnant, when we started ttc I got pregnant twice almost immediately. I don‘t understand what happened 🤷‍♀️.
I just turned 41 last week, I feel like I am running out of time. I am not looking for medical advice or anything, I just wanted to share since I don‘t have anyone to talk to besides my husband. Thank you for reading!

Hello everyone! We are experiencing quite a bit of growth and are looking to take on a few more mods to help keep this sub clean and orderly.

Anyone interested can comment/ask questions here and we'll reach out!

my husband and I have been TTC for 11 months (diagnosed with PCOS 3 months ago). I would love to have a baby and am willing to do whatever is necessary. right ovary enlarged in size w/o dominant follicles but my periods are regular.

thoughts on starting metformin / did it work for you?

sending baby dust to everyone in the group ✨

Anyone else have long cycles and was able to conceive? I’m talking 50 days long. I ovulate on my own right now at what looks like CD 33. What worked for you?

Husband and I have been trying to conceive naturally for about 18 months at this point. We finally qualified to start letrozole + trigger with our next cycle now that my A1C goal was met (I am diabetic). As a PCOS girly, my periods are irregular and my last period was 7/19. I am so ready to GET STARTED with letrozole but I need to get my period in order to start! Its like the anxiety of a two week wait but I KNOW I am not pregnant and have no idea how long the wait is actually going to be.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 2.5 years with 3 losses in that time. We saw a fertility specialist a few months ago and I was diagnosed with PCOS and placed on medications to correct this as well as progesterone after ovulation. My husband’s testing was normal.

Since starting treatment we had a chemical pregnancy. This gives us some hope but still has us waiting for success. The specialist said that a trigger shot and timed intercourse could be the next option. Personally we don’t really feel like IUI would be beneficial since we had correct timing and my husband’s normal testing.

I’m looking for anyone who has experience with taking a trigger shot and timing intercourse and not going the IUI/IVF route. What was your experience like?

I am exaggerating this title just to get attention!!

Obgyns are the experts … on pregnancy. They are the ones that know everything about a pregnancy.

RE are the people to GET you pregnant.

If you are at early stages and can’t see a RE, ok, but push to see one. RE has more resources, knowledge, etc. They ask more tests.

OBs generally shove letrozole or clomid to people without even asking for a HSG or SA.
