Letrozole + trigger shot

Has anyone had success conceiving with 2.5 mg Letrozole and a trigger shot? It seems like this is going to be my next step in my almost two years ttc joirney. I am looking for success stories. I have tried 3 cycles of just Letrozole 2.5 mg in the past without success of conceiving, however, my fertility doctor is now recommending Letrozole 2.5 mg (days 3-7 of my cycle) and a trigger shot on day 6 of my cycle. Thanks in advance!

I did 5mg and a trigger on day 12 (after a scan the day before) and currently am 16 weeks pregnant. Wishing you the best of luck ❤️

I had success with 5mg and trigger and timed intercourse. Second baby it didn't work, so it was 5mg,trigger,and IUI that worked

Why is your doctor keeping you on 2.5mg if it’s not working? I started on 2.5mg which didn’t work after one cycle my doctor told me to increase to 5mg which induced ovulation and I fell pregnant that month. I never had a trigger shot.

Maybe it’s country specific - I’m in Australia if that makes a difference in doctor opinion.

that's a good question. It's also possible that she is ovulating on that dose and just not conceiving. I did 2.5mg for 2 cycles because I was ovulating, on the 3rd cycle I didn't ovulate so my Dr increased to 5mg

Thank you! That’s so exciting that you’re currently 16 weeks pregnant. I wish you a smooth pregnancy and a happy, healthy baby! ❤️

No, I haven’t done IUI. That hasn’t been recommended to us and we aren’t there yet.

That’s all good to know. I’m glad to hear that you got your two babies from these methods.

I’m in the U.S. and my doctor hasn’t wanted to up the dosage of Letrozole because I have successfully ovulated each cycle on it but just haven’t fallen pregnant as a result. My doctor wants to add in the trigger shot this next time so that I can specifically time ovulation and have a stronger ovulation to increase my chances of conceiving. I think as long as I’m ovulating on 2.5 mg, she doesn’t want me to go any higher.

Nice! If you are already ovulating the trigger shot doesn't really do anything but ensure that you do ovulate when your follicle is big enough. Currently doing IUI with trigger shot. I'm taking Clomid though, didn't have success with letrozale

Avatar

how many rounds of Letrozole did you do and what mg? Have you done IUI before? I hope you have success with Clomid! Baby dust to you! ✨

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.
