First cycle on Letrozole/Negative OPK on cd 11??

[Hannah1029]

Hello!

Me and my husband have been trying to conceive since we were married in April, the same month I removed my IUD. My mother got pregnant at the drop of a hat with my brother and I, so I hoped I would have similar luck. Unfortunately I was diagnosed in late September with PCOS due to my irregular periods and my polycystic ovaries. This is my first cycle taking Letrozole (5mg CD 3-7) and I am currently on day cd 11. My GYN told me to start taking OPK on cd 10. She also suggested I use the Clearblue advanced ovulation test. (The one that has a flashing smiley during days of high fertility and a solid smiley at peak fertility) Now I am concerned because as of today I have still gotten low fertility. Does this mean I'm out for the month? Or is it possibly still early? I also read that 66% of women get 0-4 days of flashing smiley before getting a solid? Maybe I'm just overthinking this? LOL

Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!

I didn't ovulate until cd 22 and 24 on Letrozole. Not everyone ovulates cd 14 on medicated cycles. I've done 7 and not once was o before cd 16.

Edit: I also have pcos.

Thank you soo much for the reply! What a relief. Did you fall pregnant during any of your letrozole cycles? And did you ovulate every month?

Yes, I've ovulated every month. I've not got pregnant on 5 mg letrozole. But I conceived twice on clomid (one resulted in ds).

I've read tons if success with femara so I'm disappointed it's not resulted in my bfp yet.

What cycle days do you generally get positive OPK? Its cycle day 14 and still neg for me

I got my positive last cycle on cd 23. But I knew cd 22 it was going positive because it was pretty dark.
