  I have PCOS also.  I don't have much experience but this cycle my first round was 2.5 (1 pill a day) by cd18 my biggest follie was 13mm.  My RE decided instead of calling the cycle a bust, he started me on 2.5 x2 a day right away then 9 days later did another U/S.  On that U/S I had a follie at 27mm.  I was able to trigger and begin TI.

  Me: 35   DH:  29

  TTC:  Since 10-31-2007

  Dx:  Me: PCOS, an-ovulation    DH:  Nothing so far

  2007-2011 - Tried Clomid, Ovidrel Trigger with TI -BFN

  11/2013 - back to RE for new plan.

  Cycle 1: Letrozole cd3-7; U/S cd12 (27mm left); ovidrel trigger; progesterone test and suppositories - BFN

  HSG- 12/16/13 - clear and "Beautiful" per Dr. Attaran
  

  Cycle 2- Letrozole cd3-7, ovidrel trigger, progesterone test and suppositories-BFN

  BENCHED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

  Sorry that you are going through this. I am also on letrozal, last cycle I had one mature follie taking 5mg once a day cd-3-cd7. This cycle I have four. It can be stressful not knowing what is going on and why it isn't working.

   

  What you are going through reminds me of what I went through on clomid, I had to do stair stepping (two rounds of clomid in the same cycle) and had no response to only one mature follie. Hang in there, hoping you get good news next week.

  Married in September 2010, started TTC journey November 2012

  Me-

  7 IUI- 2 CP- 2 BFN

  RPL blood work 12/27, showed a balance translocation in chromosome 11;22  

  Spouse-

  PCOS 4 IUI-4 BFN

  New Plan: Reciprocal IVF, me as carrier wife's eggs. Just went through insurance and received partial approval, so my part will go through my IVF benefits and wife's part will be out of pocket. Now just finalizing finance plans to cover the oop costs. Doctors office is in process of moving to a new building so there are no IVF start ups until March/April 2015.

  My first cycle, I didn't respond enough to trigger until almost CD 24.  I think PCOS makes our bodies all whacky.  I've never taken Letrozole, but once they upped my injectables (Bravelle primarily for cycle #2), I responded more like clockwork.  Good luck @MAnn620

  2 years of trying and 4 months of fertility with injectables. Gave up after mc. Got Pregnant on our own and now due 10.28.14

  Hi MAnn620,
  I'm in the same boat as you.  In fact, we are on the same CD!!  I'm taking Femara and injectibles and still nothing.  I keep telling myself it's because we're new to this and it takes awhile to get the meds right-everyone responds differently!  Though from the others it sounds like being a late responder is not so uncommon.  Stinks though when the meds are so expensive.  I can't help but have this running tally in my head every time we re-order!

  I had a very slow response during my first injects cycle.  Since it was my first time to do injects, my doctor started me at the lowest possible dose & it took the highest possible dose before I started responding.  My E2 levels did not start to increase until CD13 I think.  CD11 is still a little early so hopefully something starts happening in the next couple of days.  GL!

  Me (36) - LOR, DH (34) - MFI (low count & poor motility)

   08/2013 - Clomid 50 mg + HCG Trigger + IUI #2 = BFN

  10/2013 - Menopur + HCG Trigger + IUI #3 = BFN

  11/2013 - Menopur + HCG Trigger + IUI #4 = BFN

   12/2013 - Clomid + HCG Trigger + IUI #5 = BFN

  Ok ladies, here's my update: CD 14, 3 follies that haven't matured yet, one measuring in at 16 (not sure if that was the biggest one)... They will probably tell me to wait it out a few more days!
