TTC with Letrozole

So I got my cycle February 28th (cycle day 1) I started letrozole cycle day 4 (3/3/25) my period ended 3/4/25 and I stopped letrozole 3/7/25 (cycle day 8) I did 5mg for 5 days! I’m currently cycle day 14 and my ovulation tests are still negative. My fertility specialist told me test till 3/26/25 has anyone had any experience with letrozole? I have PCOS which is why I’m taking it. What cycle day did you ovulate on? I’m also taking digital ovulation tests by clearblue I keep getting blank circles which means low lh and blinking smiley face is high and solid smiley face is peak

Are they willing to check with ultrasound? I also have PCOS. When i used letrozole, i ovulated CD 16 or 17. And i never had a “positive” LH strip. It “peaked” CD15, but was like 0.55, never got as dark as the control line. I got ultrasounds on CD 15 and CD 18, which confirmed ovulation. Currently holding my 10mo baby from that cycle! Hope this helps! Baby dust!

I opted for a simple letrozole cycle while testing at home because the other option was letrozole trigger shots and ultrasounds but I’d have to pay out of pocket for everything so I wanted to try the cheapest way first 😂 I currently have a 17 month old so I’m TTC for baby #2! Thank you for the advice! I’m using a digital ovulation test which picks up better than the strips atleast that’s what it says on the box 😂 I got for a progesterone test on 3/20!

whoa I didn’t even know there are letrozole trigger shots haha I also took the pill for 5 days

you take the pill for 5 days they do a ultrasound you trigger then they to another ultrasound do predict ovulation then you have intercourse

ohhh I wonder if I’ll have to do that next time. Did you use letrozole for your first?

yes and you can plan your cycles out my fertility specialist gave me a bunch of different ways to try with letrozole

37 weeks. Collecting colostrum?

I’m 37 weeks tomorrow.

Have you started collecting colostrum yet? If so how’s it going and do you have any tips? ❤️

Is this a positive?

I’m 11 dpo and honestly in disbelief it. It took me a full year to conceive our first, and this was our first time trying for our second. 🥹

Trying not to get too excited yet…

What do you guys think

Any mommas gotten pregnant with IUD

Specifically copper IUD. If so, what happen did they take the IUD out or left it inside since it has no hormones.

This is a blood pregnancy test

#10DPO
I DID A REGULAR PREGNANCY TEST (IN COMMENTS) AND THIS IS THE RESULT BUT ALSO I DID A BLOOD PREGNANCY TEST AND BOTH ARE THE HAVING RESULT PRETTY SIMILAR ON MY EYES , BOTH WAS IN THE FRAME TIME ,

Can you tell me what do you see? Thank you so much.

The hardest part about having no village

We hear moms talk all the time about not having a village and how parenting is just awful without having support. But I think the worse part about not having a village is watching my kid have no friends. I remember growing up and having cousins to play with, and my parents friends kids. There were always people around. But my kid, he has no one. I had kids late in life so the friends I had when I was pregnant all had kids much older than mine. My brothers kids are much older than mine. Now, those same friends dont talk to me anymore. Even if they did, their older kids probably wouldn't want to play with mine. Its hard watching my child be so desperate for friends that he latches onto whatever kid at the park he can find. He instantly calls them his friend, even if they are being mean to him. His "friends" are his stuffed animals. Thats who he has to play with. I've tried making mom friends with moms who have kids the same age, and it never works out. I've talked to moms at the park, even exchanged numbers and nothing. I dont really care that i have no friends. But my heart hurts for my son. We even had another baby just so he would have one constant kid to play with. But it took us longer than we wanted to get pregnant, and his brother is still a baby so hes not much fun yet. He's in school now, so I thought maybe he would make friends there, but when I try to talk to moms of his classmates to maybe set up playdates, I dont get anywhere there either. I dont know what I wanted to come from this post, just sharing my thoughts I guess. Maybe other moms can relate.
