Avatar m tn t had a period or ovulate on my own so my doctor put me on provera, metformin, and letrozole(femara) to get pregnant but the metformin alone will help you NOT to have a miscarriage...good luck to you sweetie. I think you should ask your doctor about taking metformin, it corrects PCOS also...
Avatar f tn I have recently taken my first cycle of Femara to make me ovulate. I have PCOS and do not ovulate often. I am now on cycle day 19 and according to my BBT I have not ovulated. Is is a common thing to ovulate late on Femara? If so, how late is too late to hold out hope for ovulation?
Avatar f tn I am a 29yr femalen and I am ttc I had all the blood work done and its showing I have PCOS. I was put on metformin 500mg last month and had one cycle of femara 2.5mg and my doctor said it was not working as fast as he wanted to accoriding to the u/s. He said my PCOS was still hindering my ovaries from working properly.So I am going to see a specialist next week. He also increased the metformin to 1000mg and it will increase again on the 14th to 1500mg.
1626928 tn?1378850167 5mg two times a day of femara/letrozole and 1500mg a day metformin. I am curious about side effects, advice, success stories, etc. I am anxious and have been TTC for 3 years total, 2 with a doctors assistance. THANK YOU in advance.
Avatar f tn I had an HSG to make sure my tubes are open and they are. I had my first round of femara 2.5mg and metformin 500mg last month. Went back to the doc and he said no luck PCOS still in the way. Did a progesterone test and my level was 8.7 some docs say I ovulated some say I didn't I have no clue. AF arrived as to be expected and I did another round at 2.5mg amd metformin 1500mg. Went to the R.E. Specialist yesterday and had a u/s apparenltly femara does not like me at least not 2.5mg.
586512 tn?1218512079 I'm also taking metformin, though I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS. Doc said it would help with the lining of my uterus. We tried 3 cycles of clomid and IUIs. No success. Clomid gave me hot flashes and may have made my cervical mucus hostile. This cycle, I took femara and had IUIs (in 2ww). I didn't have hot flashes, but my progesterone level went down slightly when tested on CD 19, compared to when I was on clomid.
5143114 tn?1364237535 Then this past month (March) she uped me to 7mg of femara (and still taking Metformin, too). My 21 day Progestrone levels for December was 2.87, January was 1.76, Feb was 7.87, and this last one was 9.82 She also did tested 4 other harmones on day 3 of my cycle, everything was normal, except the TSH which was .282, which she said was a little underactive. So now I have been referred to an Reproductive Endocrinologist. So, what is there to be expected?
418703 tn?1308825220 hi does anyone have any success storys with a combination of metformin and clomid and how big of a dose it took before you concieved?
Avatar f tn Hi! Many PCOS patients don't have the usual constellation of symptoms. A very good friend of mine ( and mother of 3 ) had PCOS and is quite thin and fit--she has a lovely complexion too. If you were my patient, the first thing I would do is to (after checking the pregnancy test which I ALWAYS do ) treat you with 5 days of Prometrium. This medication should start your period and "clean out" your uterus. Then, I would start you on Metformin and Femara.
Avatar f tn Okay ladies im about to drive myself crazy. I can not figure out what's going on. Here's my story... Pcos, trying to achieve ovulation with femara, then trigger, then iui. First he started me on provera. I didnt have much of a period. More like some brown spotting for a few days. He claimed that was my period so started me on femara cd 5-9. Cd12 went for a an ultrasound, he said I didnt respond to the femara and wanted to up dosage to 7.5. My lining was measuring 6mm.
1504962 tn?1292507093 Then I got on Metformin in May 2010. I have lost 50+ lbs, with Metformin. In Aug. I was given Femara, and havent had AF since then. I have taken 2 HPT and both have some back negitive. Yesterday 11/30, I took my Provera so we can jumpstart my AF, and hopfully take either Clomid or Femara. With Clomid 150mg I didn't have any side effects and With 100mg of Clomid, I was a total wrack! Femara 7mg, I was fine.
1448645 tn?1370067496 My question is. Is there any one who has taken just femara with out IUI and fallen pregnant? Just tradtional BD? I am considering doing this as i have one course of femara left but dont want to do the iui its too much pressure. Please let me know if you have had any succuess and what you did. my cycle is a 31 day..
Avatar f tn I have regular cycles. The doctor put me on metformin and femara (spell check) which I did ovulate on so thry say from my progesterone levels..but still not pregnant. Does any one knows what I could do to help me become pregro?
1360237 tn?1351816181 I just know I am taking 500mg twice a day of metformin. And it hasnt done anything for me but make me sick. Do you know if femara is covered if clomid is covered?
1512722 tn?1313697879 Metformin is the most amazing drug, it's the reason I'm pregnant. It helped me lose 20lbs and ovulate!! I ovulated on femara but didn't get pregnant thus month I took only my 1500mg of metformin. I've been on metformin since October at 1500mg and never missed a pill. If you stick to it and exercise it could get you pregnant. I just did yoga/pilates I heard it was good for fertility and only started it this cycle and got pregnant. Good luck to you!!
506810 tn?1210691647 t mature? So now she took me off of metformin and I just started avandia. And wheneveer I start my next period she's gonna put me on Femara and an hcg shot. Has anyone had any success with any of these meds??!! Also, since I took clomid this month, is that gonna allow me to start my period without provera? If anyone has any advise, it will be greatly appreiciated!!
1160836 tn?1332330169 I am taking Femara and I am on 5 mg cd3-7 I would love to hear any sucess stories and how long before you got that BFP. If you were taking anything else with it. I am also taking metforin 500mg a day. I also have PCOS. Share your good news here.
Avatar n tn If you do not ovulate regularly, and after you start to take metformin it helps you to ovulate, the it will help you to get pregnant since it's main reproductive benefit is to aid women who do not ovulate regularly to ovulate. If you are already ovulating regularly and are having regular periods, then metformin will not help you to get pregnant. Of course, if you need metformin for other reasons, such as diabetes, then you should take it regardless.
Avatar f tn ve tried metformin. The metformin stoped my period for 7 month. We still want ababy. Any tips on conceiving with pcos?
Avatar f tn Also on fertility medicine Femara and thyroid medicine, typing to get pregnant. I need some fruit to take Metformin. Just Metformin is making me more nauseous and discouraging. So I eat one date fruit with every Metformin i,e just after swallowing Metformin. Is this okay?. Also I eat grapes now whenever I feel like need more energy to move around. Is that good? I lost my apetite after started Metformin. So trying to be more on fruits.
847330 tn?1238713603 I started exercising and eating better and lost weight before I got pregnant, along with taking Metformin. Much luck!
Avatar f tn With the Femara 5mg(CD3-7) and Progesterone (CD16-25) medication, I seem to have put on weight and become quiet moody. Have headaches in the evening usually on CD17 and CD18 and a bloated feeling most of teh days , have observed this in the last few cycles. Is this common with Femara or Progesterone. A bit worried bcos, I also have PCOS and with the weight increase it might hamper my chances of conception. Any advise what could be the reasonand I need to do ?
736178 tn?1237223790 t ovulate regularly, and will typically have irregular periods. Metformin works very nicely to help this process. Clomid or Femara can be added for an even better effect. Well now there's some homework for you! Hope this is helpful!
Avatar f tn Hi there i am on my 5th month of treatments and second month me femara. I never got given progestrone either. Was told will only be given it once i am pregnant and beta test is done and them other blood works would be done too.
415867 tn?1323365503 I also had some vision issues and it was kinda funny b/c dh and I had had a practice BD and I went to the bathroom and had a matrix like effect where everything around me was 3d. my arm looked like 3 when i waved it and my husband was like WT@@! I swear I could see the wind blowing outside or ghost apparations...
Avatar f tn OK, I have irregular cycles and I also have PCOS, my ob said for my husband and I to. Start trying to conceive, my ob upped my dosage of Metformin to 2, 500mg a day and to stop taking my birth control. He said if I don't have a period within 35 days come back, well its been two days on Metformin and I have already started, but I was wondering how long do I have to take this before I can get Clomid?
