Fertility Q&A- PCOS, Ovulation Tracking, Failed Cycles, and More!


Listen Later

Dr. Natalie Crawford answers the voicemails you called in.

Questions Answered:

  1. Is it just as difficult to get pregnant the first time as it is the second time with PCOS?
  2. What is the best way to track ovulation if you have PCOS?
  3. Based on my cervical mucus, I seem to be ovulating later in my cycle. Is there a good way to track ovulation in this case to avoid being unsure of my fertile window.
  4. I got off birth control over 3 months ago and haven’t gotten my period back. What next?
  5. What are your thoughts in viagra being part of an IVF protocol? What are the next steps after 3 failed transfers?
  6. I’m starting Letrozole for the first time. Are there any tips to increase success?
