Hi guys.

My HSG confirmed my left tube is completely blocked. Assuming it’s from my surgery I had to remove a cyst last year. So I’m now starting Letrozole for 3 cycles, if no luck then on to ICSI or IVF. Burst into tears in the room, even though I expected this news it was still a shock to hear it. I feel like such a failure! Feel like I’m letting my husband down a lot.

hope everyone is ok x
oh bless you. I can’t imagine how you feel but most importantly, You aren’t letting anyone down!! The most important thing is that you have an answer, and a plan going forward. Sending you love and positive vibes! xx

Hi There,

If it helps, my consultant had me on letrozole and gonasi (a HCG trigger injection). I couldnt take Clomid due to other health issues, but the consultant also said that he had better results with letrozole. We did this for 6 months (with the doses increasing), which ultimately did not work for us, but I have endo and we have since found out that I do not ovulate. It seems a bit strange that they only had you do 2 cycles of this - did they give a reason why?

Ive been switched to another injection called Rekovelle, which is also used in IVF, but just a lower dose in this case. It is also supported by a Gonasi trigger injection.

We have done 3 cycles of Rekovelle which havent worked, and we are now looking at IVF.

Having gone through the drug cycles and a lap procedure, I am confident in the approach, but not before all the other options were exhausted.
Hi!

it was just the first treatment they have offered. I never knew I wasn’t ovulating, although I have never had a positive OPK I assumed due to my PCOS it would be hard to find my ovulation day so thought nothing of it really. They did offer another cycle with Letrozole at a higher dose again but I just don’t think that is going to work and well, I’m impatient!

Do you have many side effects with this? It’s the only thing I’m really concerned about.

I think everyone’s cycles work differently but last month I ovulated later than I usually do and AF came 5 days late because of it! So I think your AF can definitely shift if your ovulation is later but not the case for everyone! Xx
Thanks hun. Would you say cd18 is late ovulation?xx
