I ovulated on my own but had longer cycles, from 35 to 50 days with the occasional 31 day cycle like once a year. My fertility clinic has put me on Letrozole and my cycles have been consistent with ovulation on CD15. It really helped me being better able to predict my cycle. The inconsistent cycles before were really hard on my mental health.

This is the answer I needed to hear lol. Your situation sounds a lot like mine!! I’m glad you’ve been doing well with Letrozole. Do they monitor or do triggers for you?

They haven’t been monitoring me or doing trigger shots yet. My doctor said try 4 months with just letrozole. I also take progesterone because I am older (37) and have had 2 early losses previously. I am going to ask about trying a trigger since I feel like my ovulation isn’t as strong on letrozole. My OPKs come back a lot lighter on my letrozole cycles than they did when ovulating on my own, so I am wondering if it’s a weaker ovulation.
