A 35-year-old member asked:
Will I ovulate while on femara (letrozole)?
2 doctor answers • 6 doctors weighed in
Dr. Andrea Knittelanswered

Most likely: Femara is the brand name for the drug letrozole, which is an aromatase inhibitor. This kind of drug blocks production of estrogen, making the body think it should create a surge of hormones like those that prompt ovulation. Letrozole is sometimes used in women being treated for infertility to induce ovulation. In post-menopausal women, ovulation will not occur, and Letrozole has other uses.

Can you get pregnant after your ovulation period?

For a short time: After ovulation, the released egg is viable for approximately 24 hours. If you are trying to get pregnant, tracking ovulation basal temperature monitoring or an LH surge kit can help to roughly identify when this period will occur. If you are trying to avoid pregnancy, keep in mind that up to 25% of couples using the rhythm method (also called natural family planning) will get pregnant!

Why does the LH surge stimulating ovulation cause fatigue, headache and acheyness ? What can one do to eleviate those symtoms?

Hormones: When you have your lh surge, your estrogen level is high and your ovary has a small cyst that is about to burst (ovulate.) moderate exercise such as a brisk walk or swim is probably helpful. Tylenol (acetaminophen) would also be a reasonable and safe.

Is spotting normal during ovulation in a virgin?
2 doctor answers • 3 doctors weighed in
Dr. Karen Jonesanswered
Obstetrics and Gynecology 37 years experience
Yes: Some women will spot for a few hours to a few days at the time of ovulation. This occurs because of the rapid hormone changes at this time. Being a virgin doesn't affect whether or not there is spotting during ovulation.
