Question for you ladies: my latest background, I was put on provera because we were taking a small break but it made me crazy so I had to go off of it and get a biopsy done (it came back fine). Because I hadn't had a period on my own the provera did induce a bleed. It was lighter than normal (tmi: no clots or anything like that). During the biopsy my doc said my lining was thin, which of course was a good thing.
So, I decided to go back on the provera (CD 9 if we count the bleed as an af). and I was on it for 8 days. I wanted to induce an early bleed so I didn't have to wait for a regular 35 day cycle length. Normally it takes 3 day for a bleed to start and I usually have light pink when I wipe on day 2 after stopping the pill.
I am now on day 3 and no sign yet. today I was googling something else and it came up that if your lining is thin then provera won't induce a cycle as there is nothing there to shed.
So...has anyone ever taken letrozole without af or a withdrawl bleed. I have read about it on other forums and it seems to happen quite a bit.
I am also wondering should I just start my pills? Should I wait to see if a period naturally happens at the end of the month? I don't want to take provera again. even the 8 days was insane.
I know i'm not pregnant as I just bled and had a biopsy and my temp is very low today which tells me I didn't ovulate on my own (I am on "cd19") but I can make sure of that if I go for a progesterone test on Friday.
I have unmonitored cycles so the doc just gives me the pills and we do our own thing. I know the doc will say to wait it out but I really can't go back on provera and I don't have cycles on my own without the letrozole (or being induced by provera). and if I did wait it out and used provera it would be at least 30 days from today before I would see af.
Edit in addition after my comment below: I realized that I forgot a bit of info for this particular thread. I have been taking letrozole since May 2015. Got a bfp 3rd cycle but it ended in mc. Did 3 more cycles and then took a small break. No ovulation occurs on non medicated cycles. Now I am restarting letrozole.
