  • Dr. Natalie Crawford answers your voicemail questions about ovulation and ovulation induction.

    I just did my first round of Letrozole and I typically ovulate around day 15 and got a positive ovulation test around day 9. Is this normal?

    At my monitoring appointment for medicated IUI, I was told my 25mm follicle was likely too mature. Did I trigger too late?
