Trying for Number 2 for 6.5years- currently taking Letrozole

[Mummy of One]

Hi - I am new here. I have never been to a forum before. I am generally a private person - more a suffer in silence type. But I really need to talk to someone before I drive my husband crazy! Seriously he must love me so much to put up with my constant talk of pregnancy and babies.

I have been married 15 years this year and we have one beautiful amazing daughter who is 7 years old. It took us 5 years to conceive her and we have been trying for 6.5 years to have number two. I am 35 years old and I have PCOS. Over the years I have done clomid, injections and I have had ovarian drilling done. I won't do IVF, it is just not something I am willing to do.

My current predicament: I am n my first round of letrozole. Under my doctors instructions I took the drug days 0 (day before my period started) through to day 4. I know this is not the normal procedure but it is what he said. First day of my cycle was 8th December 2013. I went for an ultrasound 20th December and had one large follicle my OBGYN said I would ovulate around (day 17) 24th December. I don't track temps but I know I had fertile mucous and ovulation pain in this day. I then had really light spotting days 27-30 of my cycle - it was like a drop of pink once each day. I am now on day 39. I have done a pregnancy test - negative. I have no symptoms of getting a period normally I get bloating and I go a bit psycho!

I have no idea what is going on! HELP!!!!

I don't have much advice as to what you're experiencing, but keep testing until positive or period. How long are your cycles normally? If you're past, than i would call the doctor. I'm on my third cycle of letrozole but I take 10 pills all at once on day 3-5. I'm on a bunch of other meds, and like you have done the ovarian wedge. Still just waiting.
