What would you do? PCOS edition

Exact same experience here. I have non-IR PCOS and was told I'd be an "easy case". No.

I'm the PP from earlier who asked if they were PGS normal. As a data point for you, I had 7 embryos frozen at 35. Only 3 were normal. In your position, OP, I might try on my own for another 6 months or so, but then I'd give very serious consideration to starting FETs. You may get lucky and the first might stick (mine did). Or you may not. Better to know that earlier than later.

Hello - first time poster here. Lean PCOS, 32 and have two failed Letrozole with trigger shot cycles (had a dominant follicle each time, but no pregnancy), and am in the middle of my third cycle. I started the CCRM vitamin protocol (coq10, etc) last month after reading about PCOS effect on egg quality. For you ladies who had success on Letrozole, how many cycles did it take? I am wondering when it makes sense to move on to IVF. Don't want to waste my limited insurance money on IUI. Thanks

I had lean PCOS and got pregnant first IVF round. Just move to IVF. I agree you’re most likely wasting time with IUI.
