Hi all, I’m on my first Letrozole cycle and would love to hear if anyone’s had a similar experience.
I took 2.5 mg (2 tabs/day) for 5 days from baseline scan. On CD13, my follicle was 16 mm, but by CD15, they said growth stalled. I restarted Letrozole (2 tabs/day) on CD15 & 16. On CD17, they now think the 16 mm may have been a cyst, and my actual follicles are under 10 mm.
They’ve now increased my dose to 3 tab/day and i go back for scan on CD21 which is next Tuesday. Does increasing dose help?

Did 2.5, 5, then 7.5 all in the same cycle and finally got growth. Didn’t work first month but started the next cycle at 7.5 with success.

I haven't heard of restarted in the middle of a cycle with any of the OI medications and I've done OI for 15+ cycles.

With PCOS (my case) I didn’t respond to the first smaller dosages at all. So if there was no response/growth, nothing was maturing to progress my cycle. Hence the restart of letrozole to get my follicles growing.

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)
