Femara and progesterone levels

Common Questions and Answers about Femara and progesterone levels

femara

Avatar f tn Higher levels of 21 progesterone can indicate a better chance of pregnancy success. If your progesterone levels are not within the expected range with Femara, even when ovulation occurs, your doctor may want to supplement you with progesterone after ovulation. Progesterone not only helps with ovulation, but also helps to build the uterine lining. If the lining is too thin, it can cause the egg not to implant in the lining or can lead to early miscarraige. Good Luck!
1519983 tn?1401046428 I will definitely ask my dr about famara today. My nurse should be calling me back to give me my progesterone levels. I also was wondering if you progesterone levels could fluxuate on a day to day bases. my temps were very low that day I got my BT taking and now they are back up.
Avatar f tn I have been charting my bbt and it seems that I ovulate. However, I got my progesterone levels checked at what I believe to be 2 or 3 days past "ovulation" and they were only 1.2. My obgyn said this means I did not ovulate. If I do not ovulate then why does my bbt indicate so and why do my breasts get extremely sore after what I believe to me "ovulation"?
Avatar f tn (how my ob explained it to me) You may need medications to get you to ovulate better. (clomid, femara) And possible progesterone supplementation after you ovulate. Good luck.
405855 tn?1217100767 From what I've understood, Femara is an estrogen inhibitor, so levels will be lower than normal right after you take the pills, but unlike clomid, it doesn't stay in your system, so your levels should go back to normal pretty quickly after. Since I'm also on Femara this cycle, I'm very curious to hear what your levels are at your next appointment. Best of luck, G_S, and keep us posted!!!
Avatar n tn My reproductive endocrinologist put me on progesterone suppositories because my cycles were getting shorter and shorter (like down to 22 days) and I was having mid-cycle bleeding and spotting. I continued on the progesterone for the first 10 wks of my pregnancy. I am just wondering, if I am pre-menopausal....and why is my progesterone so low and is getting on the pill the only way for me to right my hormone levels again? Am I in danger of not being able to have another baby?
Avatar f tn You doctor should do a 21 day progesterone to indicate that you are ovulating and the progesterone levels are in the expected ranges. If your progesterone levels are low, it can lower your chances of conceiving, but it can be treated with progesterone supplements to improve your chances. Clomid can also thicken your cervical mucous, which can make it more difficult for sperm to swim through.
Avatar f tn Hello, I have Ulcerative Colitis and just found out I have low progesterone. I am trying to get pregnant and I wanted to know what I should do next?
Avatar f tn He thinks my second miscarriage was due to low progesterone, and said clomid/femara will help increase my chances by producing stronger eggs and a stronger ovulation...and therefore also higher progesterone levels. Oh, and I did four unmedicated IUI cycles over a year ago, and I also always had a nice mature follicle before ovulation. This time around, the follicles are about the same size, but my progesterone levels at 7 dpo much higher (41.4 on my first femara cycle).
Avatar f tn I had four follicles, 28, 22, 18 in right ovary and 13 in left ovary. Day 23 progesterone check was at 40, which means I at least ovulated. Has anyone been in a similar situation with any luck? I was on clomid for 3 mos with no sucess before Femara.
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.
Avatar n tn But it was a medicated cycle, femara 2.5 mg, follistim 75iui, novarel, estrace, and progesterone supplements were the things my RE used for me. Hope the info. helps good luck to you.
Avatar f tn I took clomid even though I have very regular cycles but after checking my progesterone and estrogen levels my estrogen was to high which for me it meant my eggs were not maturing took first cycle of clomid 5-9 hcg shot on Wednesday ultrasound say to good follicles estrogen level after hcg was 1400 I am told for rash mature follicle 200-300 of estrogen so maybe I have around 3-4 eggs for iui in the morning.i am 36 years old also.
1667711 tn?1308527354 She no longer uses clomid because in a lot of her patients it made fsh levels go up and thinned lining too much. And because we had been trying for over a year she thought that would be best. My SIL used it several months and she descriibed it as hormone h***. It worked for her but she's way younger than me! Lol When did u do the trigger shot and how much was the dose?
1647475 tn?1363137097 I asked her what we would need to do as far as monitoring and she told me just to come back between cd 21-24 for progesterone levels. I wish I was being more closely monitored : ( I kind of feel left in the dark. I just had my blood work done a few days ago and anxiously awaiting results. She said she was only giving me 3 months on clomid before she sends me to an endocrinologist. Do you think I should request closer monitoring or just wait these 3 months out??
Avatar f tn ve been working with him for a year and a half and each time something looked successful he told me that progesterone is just a last resort to give me the feeling that I have some control over things, but like I said, told me in his opinion I didn't even need it. He called the use of it "strictly a personal choice.
318181 tn?1336443496 but my temps used to get up to 99 or so druing the tww before, so not sure which is better, they are in the 97 range since being on femara and progesterone.. Well any change from negative cycles is a good thing i think so I hopet that its a good sign for you!!! keep us updated!
725941 tn?1297882209 Hello Ladies! I did my first round of Femara recently and took the pills days 3-7 of my cycle. My RE has told me to get bloodwork done on days 21, 28, and 35 of my cycle. I'm just owndering if any of you have an idea of what the blood tests are for?
Avatar f tn If you were my patient, I would definitely supplement progesterone if you do conceive this cycle. Oh, and, yes progesterone definitely can and will vary from month to month. If there is any question about whether you are ovulating, I would suggest ultrasound for follicle studies to a patient of my own. Good luck!
Avatar n tn Hi I need help! ttc for 18 months...fsh levels day 3 have been up and down 17.1 then 7.5. This time FSH 3.3 but estogen high (supposedly this can suppress fsh) day 23 progesteron was only 2. today is day 26 and after ultrasound and bloodtest i was told that i did not ovulate and must take provera. i have regular periods 26-28 days.
Avatar f tn d take on CD 3-7 or so), and then of course there are injectables, which are much stronger than clomid and femara. Those all help the follicles grow, and that can often help with a short luteal phase, as well, because it usually leads to higher progesterone levels after O. However, you could also ask for a progesterone supplement to take after O has been confirmed to lengthen the luteal phase. Is there an RE in your area? If so, I would suggest seeing and RE instead of an ob/gyn.
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 ?
Avatar f tn in the middle of your cycle??? I took femara this month. Today is cd18. My LH and progesterone showed no ovulation occurred and that it is not about to occur. My E2 level was 91. Is that high or low for being in the middle of a medicated cycle??
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?
374593 tn?1257879950 Thank yall for your replies!!!! I just got back from my first RE visit, and he agreed that it looks like i probably have poor ovulation quality, soo we will be doing femara, trigger shot and progesterone this month! first month on any meds and we're doing a lot! so I hope that we can overcome some of our issues!!
Avatar f tn I just dont know if I am ovulating or not. The day 21 test just determines progesterone and my gyn says if I am getting regular periods I am likely ovulating. The last test I got was around day 26 and my progesterone was 6, dr says I need to start progesterone around day 15 but I still do not know if I actually ovulated, that is what really annoys me. Believe it or not, 2 gyns told me that if I am getting regular periods thats a good sign.
