femara

Avatar f tn I was Gonal F for the first time last cycle - it was combined with Femara, trigger shot (Ovidrel) and IUI. I'm still in the TWW, but should find out if it worked on Friday!!! Will let you know!
1027304 tn?1333973406 I took Femara CD 3 - 7 and Gonal-F starting on CD 7 until today, CD13. I went in for an ultrasound today and was told that my lining is 10, and I have 3 follicles. 1 at 15.5 and 2 at 14.5. This is my first med cycle. I got pregnant in August spontaneously and had a m/c at 6 weeks. "normally" without meds I ovulate on day 14. At this point they would like me to continue to take the Gonal-F for 3 more days to get the follicles to 17 before the IUI procedure.
1150573 tn?1261964987 start gonal f on cycle day 5 ...IUI ,,,then they will monitor you with ultrasounds and bloodwork and when you have follies that are mature then you stop the shots, give yourself the trigger shot(ovidrel), then usually do the IUI within 32-48 hours. Hope that helped Good luck, i hope this cycle ends in a BFP !
Avatar f tn I've noticed that since I've begun fertility meds such as Clomid, Femara, Gonal F, etc.... my hair has been falling out. Not large chunks of hair, but strands - enough that I've noticed and so has my hair dresser. It's not breakage, it comes from the root. I don't have bald spots and according to my hair dresser it's not alarming to her, but it is to me. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, are you doing anything to correct it?
415687 tn?1228746275 i too have pcos and did clomid for 6 cycles. i ovulated every time with great follies but only got pg 1 time, unfortuneatly ending in mc. so i just had my first iui back to back with gonal f pen-- FAILURE!!! (i did ovulate and follies were nice) i'm currently on my second round of gonal f cycle and for the first time my re is actually having a hard time with my estrogen levels---- who knows what'll happen this cycle!
1160986 tn?1486819725 I am currently on Femara and Gonal F and patiently waiting for follicles to get a bit bigger before getting trigger Ovidrel shot and IUI. I currently have 2 follicles growing and they are at 1.7 today. I ovulate on my own usually. How many follicles have you had on similar treatment?? I thought it would be more than 2 but does the fact that I have one more than usual increase my chance with IUI by a lot?
Avatar f tn Jan 2012 ... repeated meds.. Femara 5mg. CD 2-6, Gonal F 75IU on CDs 7-9.. U/s Day 11.. leading follicle size 11mm..... FRUSTRATED!!!! Is there any hope that an upped dosage of Gonal F would make them grow further?? Has anyone else been in this situation??
Avatar f tn How well did you respond to Gonal-F? Gonal-F is just FSH hormone while Menopur is 50% FSH and 50% LH. If you responded well to Gonal-F Menopur is just a variation on the same theme. I hope higher dosage works better for you. p.s. You may want to post your Q on Fertility forum.
1027304 tn?1333973406 I have to say, that would make me worried, too. I can't help but think that some of the IUIs I had in my 30s didn't work just because of bad timing. I'm pretty sure that Gonal-F and Femara are follicle stimulators, but that's just me trying to figure it out from the list the clinic gave me, and maybe they do more than one job. And they've been monitoring you, and you'll be watching things with the OPK, so everything should be fine. I'll cross all my fingers for you.
Avatar f tn He put my on gonal-f after clomid thinned my lining. My lining has been much better on gonal-f. I am just starting my 3rd cycle now. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I am going to take GONAL - F tonight.. and trigger shot (Ovidrel) tomorrow. Does it really help to grow another follicle with one dose of GONAL-F??
Avatar f tn I had already decided that I was only going to do 2 more cycles of gonal-f + iui before moving to ivf. My RE had suggested 6-8 cycles of gonal-f before moving to ivf. I would have gone to ivf sooner but have no insurance coverage for it, so wanted to give iui a good try first. Good luck. Don't lose hope!
Avatar f tn i havebeen trying to have a baby for the past two years but was not successfull. tried stimulant drug gonal-f to stimulat my follicules but would not grow so my doctor suggest donor eggs. have anyone been successfull with conceiving with small ovaries. please reach out.
Avatar f tn It has made me ovulate but I have not gotten pregnant. I am currently taking femara and it has not made me ovulate. Gonal F worked for me a year ago but I lost the baby at 5 months. Clomid is usually the first method of help as far as I know. I know it is not used only for ivf. good luck to you.
342693 tn?1425621476 Well thsi is cd1 for me and startind Gonal F and Menopur and Ovidril this cycle day 3 this will be IUI number three anyone with me so I can have a cycle buddy?
1082721 tn?1267706204 Hi there, I too just had my first IUI with Gonal-F. I'm currently in the 2ww, so I don't have a BFP to give you, but I'm sure hoping. I took Femara on CD 3 - 7 and Gonal-F on day 7. I had a nice thick lining and 3 follies ready. The timing seemed perfect, so I'm sure thinking good thoughts. I did not have any side effects from the Gonal-F at all, and they definately helped make great follies.
1299014 tn?1273247877 I had 6 IUIs using clomid before and got pregnant but unfortunately I miscarry at 6 wks at most. So my doc suggested Femara on my CD 2 for five days just as Clomid. I was supposed to have an IUI on Tuesday. I had an E2 test yesterday counted 61.94 though I developed 5 eggs ,he said it's low and must have another tomorrow and see if it increases or else he would cancel the IUI . So does Femara causes a drop in the E2 level? Is this normal?it's my very first time to use Femara!
1010045 tn?1250702792 Im on my second month of gonal-f injections(1st month 75iu & 2nd 150iu) and my only real side effect was headaches! Also, I'm sure you are starting on a lower dose...I'm thinking those bad side effects are for the lager doses!
Avatar f tn I had u/s monitoring on femara, but I also used gonal-f injections. I had between 2 and 3 follicles each month that were considered "matured". My RE told me that once they hit the size of 11 they would continue to mature. Occasionally I would have 1 or 2 that were under and basically were useless in the cycle. I had u/s's on cd 3 and cd 10 ALWAYS. CD 3 was to let them know if there were any residual cysts and if I was cleared to start on the cycle.
Avatar f tn I have unexplained fertility and started on the works - letrozole pills and Gonal F injectable, then when follicles big enough Ovidrel shot, then IUI then Progesterone pills. This us our first cycle of trying anything and I'm 39. Hope this helps!
1152301 tn?1331591080 Okay guys I'm back after about 5 months. I have done three rounds on clomid and three rounds on femara with no luck and were running out of options. I have endo, PCOS and i'm 22.! I'm tired of let downs so me, dh and RE decided to try injectables. I have been on BCP for over a month, day 5 on lupron and I start 35u Follistim on Sept. 2nd. Can anyone tell me what to expect, or if they have or are going thru the same thing.
Avatar f tn t double and I had a m/c. I then went to a fertility clinic and have been using femara and gonal-f since September and doing IUI's. I got cysts in November and had to go on birth control pills, it was a mess and I was depressed. I started acupuncture and herbs again beginning of december. She told me that she could get rid of the cysts....well she did, AND i just got a call from the RE and I'm PG again.
400358 tn?1320234443 I am doing gonal f for the first time with the pen. I dialed it to the right dosage and gave the shot. Am I still suppose to see clear liquid at the bottom of the shot???
945508 tn?1259156758 I was on Gonal F and luveris, i had 23 mature eggs retrieved and 21 fertilized, 7 they froze right away, 6 they froze at 3 day, 2 they transfered and another 2 made it to 5 day blasts which are now also frozen. SOOO..... I believe it worked really well, Good luck to you on your journey!!!
Avatar f tn I had more follicles with the Femara then I have ever had with any other drug I have tried. I tried Gonal-F about 5 years ago and I did not have that many follicles so I am thinking that the Femara is the best route for me. Or so I hope. Good luck with it.
Avatar f tn thank you, nickie85, for answer but i am so confused because i started with gonal 2nd versus day in my first and second icsi protocol, and after that i changed clinic and new doctor tell me to start with gonal 8th versus day bye
