femara and ovidrel success

This is my first time on here so I hope this works. This is my first month doing the ovidrel and femara together so I don't know what to expect. I have done the femara alone and have also done the clomid, but the shot is all very new to me. I have another u/s tomorrow to make sure I can have the ovidrel. It would just be nice to know if this has worked for someone and if it has, how well.

This is also my first month taking femara and we will also be doing my first ovidrel inj and progesterone afterwards... So I agree, hopefully we can all be a success story and this combo will work great! as candie429 said, i've heard a lot of people get BFP's from these meds! I go in on tuesday for my follie check, then IUI (also a first!!!). GOOD LUCK TO you both! Keep me updated! I havne' t noticed any side effects from the femara yet, have yall?

I will be relaxed if I get some encouragement from you. Is there anyone who has success of Femara and Ovidrel in the first cycle or how many cycles does it usually require? Please help. Baby dust to all again!!!

My husband and I were on Clomid and Ovidrel for the past 4 months with no luck. I recently went in for a diagnostic test to see if my tubes are blocked. Everything looks great so I am relieved...sort of. I feel like if I had a reason why I am not getting pregnant, this would be easier. My husband and I had 2 miscarriages in the last 2 years so we are worried that when it does happen again, we will find ourselves in teh same situation.

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. My next ultrasound will be Saturday (CD16). I'm worried I will be past ovulation.

Tried naturally until this month (clomid made my crazy) when we did the femara 2.5 mg 5-9 and thhe ovidrel trigger. Next month if this doesn't work (crossing my fingers) we are gonna try the femara with IUI. Any advice or tips?

This is my first cycle using femara and the ovidrel shot. I am currently in my 2ww. I took a hpt just to see if I would get a false positive to see if the ovidrel was still in my system. It has only be 7 days since the shot and I got a bfn. Did the shot not work? Do I still have a chance to get a bfp? Should I be worried? Can anyone share their experiences positive or negative?

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!

t find the name brand Novarel around here, but they said the generic is just as good, its 10,000 units of HCG and it was $57, I think they said Novarel brand name was $68 so both are cheaper than the ovidrel was for me. Also the Ovidrel is SubQ, and the Novarel is IM (intramuscular) and you also have to mix it up, so i had to pay for syringes as well, but hopefuly the RE will be doing all of that! Hopefully the Novarel will work for us this week, I hsould know by friday!

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.

I don't know what Ovidrel is, is that the trigger shot? I took Menopur, femara and Novarel together (I think Novarel is the same as Ovidrel).

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?

That is a good number. 12 -14 dpo is a good time to test. Good luck!

It all depends I took femara one cycle with injectable (ovidrel) & an iui & worked on the first try. I'm 5 weeks & 3 days today. Clomid works but not for everyone clomid often thickens the cervical mucus which makes it hard for the sperm to swim to contect to the egg. I was taking tussin as well my last cycle of clomid but it didn't work. I had 6 cycles of clomid three solo & three with iui's. I wish you the best of luck.

I will begin starting Ovidrel next week and I was wondering what the success rate is with this fertiltiy drug. I have miscarried 1 time in the past, but this was mostly due to a very large fibroid, which has now been removed. After charting my temp, my fertility specialist is saying that it appears that my eggs are not maturing enought to get pregnant. Any thoughts?

I got pregnant my 2nd month taking Femara, unfortunatley that pregnancy was a blighted ovim. I started the Femara up again and just finished my 3rd month. I take 2.5 mg on days 3-7. Good luck! It really does work!

I have recently (December) switched to a different doctor who is much more on top of things, my cycle started 01/05 and I did Femara on cd3-7, had an hsg, and then a base line and follicle study which revealed the Femara did nothing. He immediately started me on Bravelle, cd12-16 at .5amp, cd18-21 @ 1amp, cd22-24 @ 1.5amp, and cd25-30 @ 2.0. We saw small results starting at 1.5 amps, but significant results at 2.

Hey everyone. I'm Danielle i'm new here:) I was diagnosed with PCOS last January and started metformin and provera (to start my period). I just took clomid a couple weeks ago on days 3-7. My doctor said i had like 20 follicles but none were mature. Does anyone know a reason why they didn'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.

Are you having and IUI or anything?

Hi Ladies! I have a question about Letrozole. I used Clomid for the past 3 months and ovulated, but had no luck getting pregnant. I had an HSG last month (November) and this month my new Dr. put me on Letrozole. I had an appointment and u/s yesterday (CD 14) and they said my follicles were not big enough and to get the Ovidrel shot and that I should "sit out" this month and call my Dr. on Monday to see what she thinks as far as where to go from here.

Last cycle I did 50mg of Clomid and had abnormal bleeding so had to move to Femara and I am happy to say I responded to Femara with no side effects! I plan on testing on 10 dpo (Feb 1st)! So anyone else waiting to test please comment below! Its going to be a long two weeks but we can do it!!!!

Why do REs start with Clomid and not Femara? We all know that Clomid causes CM dryness and cysts.. then y do REs not start with Femara from the first time itself??? This Q has been bothering me since long.. Anyone knows???

) Clomid did t work for me a few years back when my reg gyne put me on it I went to a fertility doc and found my tubes were blocked he unblocked them and a few months later we started the clomid/ovidrel and got lucky on the first try! Be positive and it will happen! I didn't think my worked bc of all my symptoms pointed to. AF but it did work! Good luck!
