Femara cycle length

Common Questions and Answers about Femara cycle length

femara

Avatar f tn I took Femara last cycle, but alas AF came. What was odd was that I had several days of very light spotting before actual flow, usually when I see spotting AF comes the next day. If I count my first day of real flow as day 1, my cycle ran 30 days this time (its usually never more than 28 days). Has anyone else seen these kind of changes after a Femara cycle? I also noticed a slight twinge on my right side for those few days. I'm starting Femara again this cycle, this time with IUI.
725941 tn?1297882209 So it seems like the Femara maybe did help regulate you and give you a more normal cycle length. Your cycle was about 30 or 31 days total then right? If so, luteal phases usually range from about 10 to 14 days, so you probably O'd that many days ago. Typically, OBGYN's don't do as much monitoring as a specialist, so that's probably why yours didn't suggest any u/s. My OBGYN was the same way with me.
Avatar f tn I believe I ovulated Sat 6/21, so am now 2 dpo. I took Femara this cycle so could have been 2 eggs. Is 10 or 11 dpo too early to get an accurate HPT reading? If I'm VERY lucky, 2 eggs fertilized...could that mean higher HCG? At 12 dpo I will be leaving town for a few days. If no BFP, I need to get my refill of Femara before I leave. Any thoughts? Any others in the TWW?
384150 tn?1399904816 i have used both clomid and femara, prescribed by my RE. i didn't get pg, but he felt femara to be a better drug.
Avatar f tn Femara 5 mg for days 2 - 6 shortens my cycle by about 1 week (ovulate about day 14 instead of around day 20-21). My previous femara cycle resulted in my second daughter (with IUI). Am in middle of a new cycle now and did the IUI 2 days ago. So TWW for now.
Avatar f tn I have been off bc for 7 years and have an average cycle length of 28-29 days. I had a hsg test done and that was clear and good. I was on clomid for 3 months and had u/s that showed good size follicles and had a progesterone test done along with opk tests for months that all pointed to me ovulating. I am now going to an re who had me start femara with ovidril cd 3-5. I got the 250mg shot on cd 15 with 2 mature follicles and thick lining. RE was happy with the u/s.
Avatar f tn Hi, was wondering, does anyone on here have a really long cycle length?
1150573 tn?1261964987 Hi babydust, I got pregnant on my first cycle of Femara a little over a month ago, which was my first cycle after a m/c in November. I've heard that women can be more fertile after a m/c, so whether it was due to the m/c or the Femara I really don't know. But I've read a lot of promising stuff about Femara, so good luck to you!
318181 tn?1336443496 Hello! Yes this is my second cycle on femara, and really liked it (never done clomid though) but I produced one big follie on cd 12 last month and 2 on the good side (and a smaller one on the bad side) this time!! I don't normally have CM problems, however while on femara both times I have lots of EWCM more than usual so thats a good thing! also it doesnt' thin the lining like clomid does! : ) I normally O on day 17-19 and with feamra it happens almost a week early!
Avatar f tn ( ) and have been on femara.. we got preg on femara + follistim but unfortuntely miscarried.. so i'm back on the femara and follistim again (this is cd8) many people start taking it on day 5 of their cycle instead of day 3.. so if you cna't get it until then it should be ok.. Do you already have the prescription?? what day of your cycle are you on now?? good luck!
Avatar f tn A question for you Femara ladies - did you notice any changes in when you ovulated while on Femara? I am starting my first Femara cycle in two days (I am CD1 today, doing Femara CD3-7) and just wondering what to expect. I usually ovulate CD17-19. Does Femara make you O earlier, later, about the same? Thanks for any insight!
Avatar f tn So I am getting ready to start Femara on my next cycle...Clomid not working. Anyway I was wondering who is on or has been on it and when and how much did you have to take? I have done alot of research on it but I am just wondering why women are on such different doses and cd to take them? Is it just up to the individual DR.? Has anyone had success with Femara?? I need a little light at the end of this long tunnel....
Avatar f tn Hi I have pcos and tried clomid with provera a few cycles with no luck at all didnt ovulate.....
1160836 tn?1332330169 Thank you I ov early this cycle thanks to femara I O on cycle day 11 is that normal with femara? I am hoping since I had mu ovarian drilling done in OCt of this year that the femara will help to O better.
Avatar f tn I am on the 4th cycle and have not had success but I definitely can say that my body responds better to femara...
Avatar f tn d like to discuss trying femara for this 6th cycle instead of clomid since it thinned my lining so much for this cycle. But..I want to know..can I expect the same type of results from femara as I have with clomid? On 100 mgs of clomid, I have had a mature follicle ready for trigger on Days 10 and 11. Thoughts? Thanks!
342133 tn?1227108677 She then suggested a different drug called Femara (Letrozole). Like Clomid, it also tricks your body into producing more estrogen to induce ovulation, but in a different way. There are a lot of good posts on here that give more detailed info on it. The one thing that scares everyone at first is the published risk of birth defects, but it is only if you take it while already pregnant.
Avatar f tn maybe they can up your dose of femara for the next cycle. You siad you were on a low dose right? Did you check if your insurance would cover an RE, It's for pcos not fertility so most insurance companies will cover them, like I said in another post I don't have fertility insurance and they pay for my RE appointments along with the ovarian drilling. good luck hun, don't lose hope!
Avatar f tn Im 3dpo. And looking for others to wait with! This is my first Femara (2.5mg) cycle and only my 2nd medicated cycle. 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!!!!
725941 tn?1297882209 i normally O around cd17 on a natural cycle. and on femara i think it was more like cd14 or 15 so a little earlier.. then 14 days from O time is when AF would come or I would test.. GOOD LUCK!
391060 tn?1204749484 We were referred to the DR that I am seeing now.
Avatar f tn I got 3 follies first cycle, and 4 last cycle. what would the difference be with femara? any side effects?
Avatar f tn I used Clomid for one cycle and it worked. Did you ovulate on Femara? Some women with PCOS have better luck with Femara than they had with Clomid.
178239 tn?1277405491 Ok pros, I need some help. I think I know what may be going on but would like some feedback. Day b4 yesterday Answer opk was pos and monitor was peak. Did a smiley and it was pos too. Thought it was a done deal and temps were too low for post o today. So I poas again this am. Answer came back way darker than control so I did a smiley. It smiled at me. I don't like using extra monitor sticks after I get a peak because it won't go peak again. But, I did one and got high reading.
