What Causes Difficulty In Getting Pregnant Despite Taking Letrozole?
I took letrizole for infertility... after being 5 days late to start my period my doctor gave me letrizole at day three. I took it for five days at 7.5 mg. I bled for a total of 13 days (normally I bleed 5-6 days). I am now at day 54 and haven t started yet. I took pregnancy test and it wa negative. I have had sore breasts and sensitive nipples for most of this 54 day cycle. I know am experiencing cramping for the last four days, but no period. I know this isn t right. If you have any insight as to what is going on, I d appreciate it!

Hi,
Yes, these are the side effects of it. These drugs block the formation of estrogen made in areas other than the ovaries. Delayed period is due to hormonal switch going on in the body.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
