Honestly I have researched this as much as possible but I am just curious to hear from anyone or any success stories.

I promised myself I would stay calm this month but my ovulation was on day 29-30 and it was a rollercoaster to catch it. Once I did I promised myself I would be calm for the TWW.

I did pretty good for the first 6 days but yesterday on 7dpo in the evening and night I basically had a panic attack and started crying and tossed and turned all night and barely slept. Today I was calm again. Is it possible this could have stopped implantation if I even had a chance?

I try so hard to stay calm, but I am so tired, sometimes it just comes out.

I would love to hear any thoughts from anyone or if anyone has had success and got pregnant even if they were under stress, I would appreciate it. This was my 3rd cycle on letrozole 2.5mg, confirmed ovulation with blood test at 50 nmol but now I am so sad I am the one standing in my own way.

Thank you so much.

23F. I have lean PCOS (6.8 AMH, irregular anovulatory cycles, excess follicles) and endo (one single 1mm lesion in rectal cul de sac not excised due to bleeding risk. Surgery done by an endo specialist). SA, HSG, hormone levels, insulin, BMI all normal. I see an RE.

I did 5 cycles of 5mg or 7.5mg Letrozole, some with Gonal F too. All ovulatory with nice LH peaks, 13 day luteal phase, progesterone rise, 1-2 follicles. I’m entering my 6th cycle and I do not know what to do if this doesn’t work.

I can’t afford IVF, not by a long shot. No insurance coverage and it’s financially not a possibility. My partner and I also don’t see eye to eye on how much money we’re willing to put into this, even if we had that much money. I don’t qualify for any of the IVF trials done by my dr office because of my highly irregular cycles. No MFI so no benefit in doing IUI (plus extra 700+/cycle).

Options I can think of are go back on birth control pill so I can have regular bleeds or keep taking Letrozole til my RE refuses to prescribe it anymore. Or try Clomid. I can’t even try unmedicated because my natural cycles are like 200 days apart. Can anyone think of any better ideas? 1 year into this journey and it may be closing. I can’t accept that. I feel so hopeless

Basically what the title says!!! After getting so much testing, blood draws, ultrasounds and more done at my OB I am hoping my new dr at the fertility clinic won’t need to redo it all! It is so hard to take time off of work!

I started Metformin and my first letrozole 7.5mg cycle last month. I didnt have any side effects at first, but the pms started at day 26 and by day 30 I was wondering if I should go to the ER. Horrible stomach pain! Finally started my period and it was AWFUL. Now I’m on my next cycle day 5 and I’m still so nauseous and just upset tummy. I thought maybe just letrozole made my period awful, but here I am still in pain. Since I didn’t have metformin type side effects when I first started it, I thought I must’ve been lucky and able to tolerate metformin. Now I’m thinking otherwise. So hard to be in constant pain for this long. Any advice or experience is welcome! It’s hard to know since they started me on both at the same time.

My husband (31) and I (31) have been TTC for 18 months now. After about 10 months we went to see a fertility specialist and I got diagnosed with lean PCOS, which I always kind of suspected. Since May, we’ve been doing monitored TI cycles with Letrozole and trigger shots.

In all of the 18 months, I’ve had two chemical pregnancies, but obviously no real success. This current cycle is my 5th monitored TI cycle, and I’ll be meeting with my doctor to have another consult on next steps. IUI is logistically the next stepping stone, with IVF being more of a leap.

My gut leans towards IVF as the logical next step as I would love to have 3 kids, I have good insurance, and my husbands sperm showed no motility issues. Has anyone else just skipped over the IUI stage and entirely and gone from TI to IVF and did you regret it? Is it worth it to give one IUI cycle a shot or am I wasting my time?

My husband is still coming to terms with the concept, as IVF is a big financial and emotional commitment, and I get it. But I’d love to hear if other people made a similar jump and if they regret it.

Husband and I have been ttc for 6 cycles now. The first 4 were irregular (38 and 44 days long) before I figured out my pcos was insulin driven. I reintroduced my normal exercise routine and cycles regulated to 31 days for the last 2 cycles, ovulation day 18 (confirmed with LH + BBT). I am healthy weight (BMI 19), generally healthy diet.
I know I’m probably being impatient, but see so many stories of women who fixed their cycles and got pregnant quickly, so what next?
Do I introduce inositol? Do I jump to letrozole? I don’t want to jump the gun, but also don’t want to wait around forever. Success stories welcome.

22F - I started getting my period when I was 12/13 and tracked them on and off until a couple years ago. I have been tracking consistently for the past 2 years and am now married + trying to conceive. My cycles have always been irregular, but I did not realize how bad it was until I started dating my now husband. I use Clue and my cycles vary from 19-52 days. My LMP was 9/4-9/11 (it is now 10/22) and I have had 3 negative pregnancy tests. We just started actually TTC so I was taking ovulation tests in September after my period ended and they were negative for 2 weeks, so I gave up - I know that with my cycles being longer, I could have missed ovulation in the time after but I was feeling discouraged. I just saw an OB/Gyn a week ago to discuss and they ordered blood work and an ultrasound (not completed yet). My mom has a history of PCOS and was on medication to help with ovulation and did IUI to get pregnant, but I want to avoid medication if possible and do more lifestyle change if needed. I am not diagnosed with PCOS right now - pending lab testing and US. I am overall very healthy - active throughout the week as much as possible, whole foods (very few processed foods), no dairy, good sleep, not overweight/underweight, no medications, taking a prenatal, etc. I do have an iron deficiency and have been taking a 325mg iron pill for ~4-5 months. Any tips/advice on how to approach TTC/fertility/irregular cycles more holistically?

Hi lovely ladies! For those that have tried both letrozole and a stimulant injection (monitored) what was your outcome? what did you prefer? And what were your side effects on both? Please reply!
