Not really, because it's out of the body so fast. The doc said most people who it works for will be pregnant within 4 months. My 4th cycle is coming up if the one I'm in (non-medicated) doesn't work. He's approved 7-8 cycles (through august or September) though. So, we're going to keep trying to see if we can do this without having to get to IVF.

Sorry about the semen analysis but it really isn't bad. letrozole can be used long term and like you say is out of your body in 2 days. That is the one reason why is doesn't affect your lining like clomid does.
i agree on it resetting, i also restarted my count on ttc after my lap and endo removal.
fxd that you will get a bfp long before the 8 cycles are over.

Doc approved for us to stay on current protocol as long as I continue to have the great results I've had so far. We'll make a decision around August about IVF. We're most likely going to do at least one round of a minimal stim IVF (only 2-3 eggs are the goal) so we can use it as a (very expensive) diagnostic tool to determine if my eggs are the issue or no. If they are, we can decide to either do an egg donor or adoption before having to spend $15-20K out of pocket for IVF. Minimal stim is only about $5k.
If they do harvest more than one egg, I'd like to see if they'll let one attempt to fertilize naturally (as naturally as a petri dish gets) to determine if it's an egg shell issue or a binding issue and let all others use ICSI to make sure they fertilize.
That's months away though...and I still have this cycle I'm in without meds, too. I'm 8dpo. So, we'll know within the next week.

I hope this is it for you

I started spotting this afternoon. I'm assuming I'll be in full AF/CD1 tomorrow. So, my Saturday or Sunday will be likely ruined by going in for my baseline appointment.
I'm asking for blood work to be run to determine LH, FSH, DHEAS and AMH in addition to my appointment for baseline ovary check. We're starting our first of two (possibly three) iui treatments this month.
October will be 3 years since this journey began. I have one friend who was pregnant when we started who is now pregnant with #3. :-/ I'm just ready for this journey to be over.

Prowife, I hope one of the IUIs works for you, hopefully the 1st one! I'll be thinking of you Me and baby are doing well. I still get nauseated and have some gagging and vomiting, I'd say at least once a week but it's pretty controlled with 2 meds. I think I'm just going to be one of those people that goes the whole pregnancy with it. But I'll take that if it's our ONLY complication!
Glad to hear Cooper is doing so well!
