Infertility sucks. It’s so hard and all consuming. At least it was for me. I’m really hoping third time is the charm for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-with-letrozole-no-follicles-at-ultrasound#post-2920793 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 11:37:42 +0000 Umbreon 2920793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: @ElbieKay: no change in dose. I got pregnant on the third IUI with LO#1 on this same dose as well. This period lasted longer than usual as well, but this is my 6th IUI in my life and this hasn't happened before.</p> <p>@Jessiemuller88: I get painful ovulation even not on letrozole but it is so much worse when i ovulate from both sides at the same time!</p> <p>I'm sure I will still ovulate I'm just worried the drugs did nothing and my chances wont be as good this round. Every cycle is such an emotional toll. I was hoping third times a charm again this time... but it's not looking good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-with-letrozole-no-follicles-at-ultrasound#post-2920783 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 20:46:57 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2920783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Umbreon: I took letrozole 2.5mg days 3-7 when I got pregnant with my twins. I was tracking and ovulated on day 15, so there is a good chance you will still ovulate. For me, there was no mistaking ovulation on letrozole either! It was so painful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-with-letrozole-no-follicles-at-ultrasound#post-2920776 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 17:04:44 +0000 ElbieKay 2920776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry. Hang in there. My second sticky pregnancy took two miscarriages and five rounds of Clomid with three IUIs. It is a really hard process. Maybe Letrozole is not the right drug for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-with-letrozole-no-follicles-at-ultrasound#post-2920775 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 16:43:04 +0000 LindsayInNY 2920775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have the changed the dose at all? Or what about Clomid? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-with-letrozole-no-follicles-at-ultrasound#post-2920749 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:54:20 +0000 Umbreon 2920749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm upset... we have been TTC baby #2 and I'm on IUI #3 now. They have me take 7.5 mg of letrozole from day 3-7. Then I go for an ultrasound to check how many follicles. Then they have me use opks and when I get a positive I go in for the IUI. </p> <p>First try I had 4 follicles. Second try I had 2 and this time they said I had at least 3 "quiet" ones so they thought maybe I ovulated already. They took a blood test and said I may need to go in for another ultrasound next week, but also to keep testing for ovulation just in case.</p> <p>What could have caused this??? I am pretty sure I have not ovulated yet because there is no mistaking the pain when I do. But wouldn't letrozole have worked by now? I think I'm on day 12 or something now. </p>
