Letrozole after missed period

Awooster

Hello all,

    I am super stressed about the fact that during my vacation my period never came. I am currently 11 days late cd46. I've had a negative blood test and my doctor prescribed 5mg of Letrozole to start taking immediately. I've never taken it before but this is a double dose. I guess I'm looking for anyone else who has skipped a period and Letrozole was successful in that cycle? Or any advice on being successful on Letrozole?

Thank you,
Amber

Hi, (TW in siggy)
I'm not really on this board any more but I lurk from time to time.
I had to do that earlier this year - the doctor gave me a progesterone tablet to bring on a period, but it didn't work. So even though I didn't have a period they got me to start taking Letrozole anyway. The Letrozole was successful that cycle in the sense that I ovulated well - 2 mature eggs And 5mg was my regular dose each cycle - 5mg once a day for 5 days (CD3-7). On the cycle I had no period, they just recorded the day I started the Letrozole as CD3 (even though it was really CD40-something).

I hope this helps - good luck
