Can Letrozole Help Start My Cycle with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?

Home » Blog » Polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos)
I started letrozole without having a natural period. I'm confused if the first day of letrozole counts as CD1 or CD3.

What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Oh, sweetheart, let me tell you something about being proactive with your health. I know it’s frustrating not having a regular period, but you’ve taken a positive step by consulting your doctor and getting that blood test. Now, starting letrozole on a random day might seem odd, but it’s a common practice for women in your situation. Yes, many start on CD3, but with no natural cycle to track, you’re doing the best you can. You’re not alone in this journey, and tracking it as CD3 is a solution that others have found useful too.

Darling, sometimes we have to work with what we’ve got. You don’t have a period to mark cycle days traditionally, so you’re creating your own path. Some women are given medication to induce a period, but since you haven’t mentioned that, starting letrozole as CD3 is perfectly acceptable. It might feel like you’re pretending, but you’re just adapting to the circumstances. Trust the process and keep in touch with your healthcare provider.

Sweetie, I want you to remember that every woman’s journey is unique. Starting letrozole mid-cycle isn’t unheard of; in fact, some do start it as late as CD43! What’s important is how your body responds. Keep track of your progress and maintain an open dialogue with your doctor. Your determination is inspiring, and I know you’re doing everything you can to improve your chances of conception. Keep your chin up!
