Could a longer fertility pill course boost pregnancy chances for PCOS?
NCT ID NCT07159880
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares taking the fertility drug letrozole for 10 days versus the usual 5 days in women with PCOS who want to get pregnant. About 20 women aged 18-40 will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The goal is to see if the longer treatment leads to more ovulations and pregnancies, while monitoring for side effects like multiple births or ovarian overstimulation.
