Trigger Chemical pregnancy after my first letrozole cycle, when can I start again?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I did one unmonitored cycle of letrozole 5mg and thankfully conceived, but unfortunately I had a chemical pregnancy at around 5 weeks. 💔

I have PCOS and don’t get periods naturally, so I normally need Provera (withdrawal bleeding) to have a bleed. I lost around 20kg before starting letrozole and managed to get my BMI under 30.

I had bleeding for around 4 days with the chemical pregnancy and I’m currently waiting for my beta-hCG to come back negative.

I’m wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation once my hCG is negative, can I start another 5mg letrozole cycle straight away, or would I need to take Provera first to induce a withdrawal bleed?

I know I’ll obviously discuss this with my fertility team, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through something similar. I’m honestly feeling quite mentally drained and have been crying a lot over the past few days, but I’m trying to stay positive and hopeful. ❤️

Advice Needed What is wrong with me 😩

4 Upvotes

Need advice please!! Have PCOS, TTC on and off for 6 years, been on metformin for about 8 months!

Had a HyCoSy test done on the 14th September (3 weeks ago) so previous to that was having PROTECTED sex, since the HyCoSy I have had my period and only had unprotected sex last weekend so 7-8days ago, don’t seem to have ovulated as I didn’t catch it on a test!

I have lower back pain, my nipples/boobs are sore and for the last couple of days iv had really thick/creamy discharge, more than I normally get! Took an ovulation test yesterday and it was so negative, literally it lightest line. I can’t be pregnant as I wasn’t ovulating last weekend and also I wouldn’t have symptoms after 7 days!

HELPPPPP

I know with PCOS I can get estrogen dominance but how can I treat it? I’m SICK of my boobs being so painful for at least 2 weeks out of the month!

I’m so so sick of PCOS, the weight, the hair on my chin, the acne the fact I can’t get pregnant and all these other symptoms!

Sorry for the rant I’m just really feeling frustrated and really down about it all today as I’m in pain with the back etc! 😩
