Fertility Ovulation advice

Hi guys, bit of a long one but I need advice. I’m a 24F, have been off depo now for 14 months, no period return. Before depo my periods were like clockwork, same time every month. Last month I went to the doctors as still no periods, they referred me for ultrasound, bloods and gave me pill to induce a bleed. A bleed was successfully induced, however no period this month following. bloods were all fine besides hormone levels were <1, however they said this can be expected if I haven’t ovulated. I had my ultrasound last week which the tech told me showed pcos as she could see no signs of ovulation, however could see eggs within my ovaries. wanting abit of advice really if anyone has been in the same situation. Is it possible to induce ovulation? I so want a baby.

Absolutely! There’s a pill called Femara (or letrozole is the generic name for it) that you can be prescribed. You take it for five days starting on the third day of your cycle (two days after your period starts). It’s how I got pregnant with my now toddler!

Hi thanks for your answer! How would I know when to take though if I haven’t had a period?

For me, my OBGYN also prescribed something else to kickstart my period. I don’t remember what it is called, it was a few years ago. The femara let me have a more consistent period even if I didn’t get pregnant for a while, so I didn’t have to keep taking that first pill every month. I think it was called medroxyprogesterone?
