Common Questions and Answers about Femara for conception

femara

Avatar n tn I have used clomid for conception but to no avail.How else can i achieve pregnancy.
374593 tn?1257879950 t find any studies that say it increases conception rates, rather it may just make you asymptomatic during the treatment time. Do you ever use Femara for fertility purposis in Endometriosis patients - even though its blacklabel for this, it seems that it would make good sense? Thanks!
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 I was always monitored while on Femara (similar to clomid). But I know if you aren't doing a trigger shot than this isn't necessary. Femara alone never did it for me, but hopefully clomid will do the trick for you.
1204794 tn?1300704113 She said that it does not mean that it will decrease my chances of conception. So to all you Femara and Clomid users no need to worry about it. Easier said than done I understand.
788859 tn?1236734548 I had an unsuccessful IUI last cycle(blood test and HPT showed negative). This cycle just doing Femara and timed IC. No Sonos for me this cycle since Femara has a low % of multiples. My only concern is being abel to catch my ovulation at the perfiect time! For some reason I have trust issues with the home ovu tests! What's up with that? Oh well. Seems like know matter what I do I find something to worry about. Its absolutley draining. blueyes34: Congrats! I love hearing success stories!
Avatar f tn I have PCOS and have been ttc for a year now.. clomid didnt make me ovulate.. 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?
Avatar f tn I am on second cycle now and had my MC on CD27 with pre-menstrual discharge on CD26. It lasted for 4days only , so how do i get to know if I actually ovulated or not ? I used OPKs on CD 10 and CD11 both in the evenings but got very faint line so cant even depend on that to know what happening in my body? Is there anyone else who has similar issues ?
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.
199922 tn?1224786706 My doctor thought the best thing was the femara treatment. Right now I am on Femara/Aygestin treatment for 3 months. After that he feels either I can opt for surgery (bowel reconstruction, etc) OR TTC again using IUI/femara/injections. He states we can try that for 3 months, after that he'd move on to IVF. I've read some good things about the femara therapy...and would be happy to share my experiences/ etc with anyone if you are interested in it as well.
Avatar f tn These medications are given on a monthly basis and help to stimulate ovulation. They will help improve chances for conception and also help regulate the periods if no conception occurs. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I am to start progesterone supp tonight and take 2x a day. I need to go on March 4th for bloodwork. I am soo nervous but excited at the same time. I have gone for 2 accupuncture treatments and i have another one thurs. Had anyone has any circumstances close to mine? If so, how do you think my chances are?
Avatar f tn I just finished taking Clomid for three months and no pregancy. I had a lap and am going to start taking Femara to try and concieve. Hopefully this works. I am just wondering if anyone else has taken Femara and what it was like ie side effects/pregnancy?! Thanks.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn When i went to the doctors for fertility issues he told me not to bother with predictors as they are a waste of money and pointless.. I have been told 'not to think about getting pregnant' to chill out and not get stressed (its easier said then done) Also if you can get away for a few days to relax that may work.. try taking his and hers pregnacare conception - or normal vitamins... or just folic acid on its own.. its worth a try.. but the most important is to stay relaxed!
652899 tn?1284047173 I am due for my first iui in sep ..am on letrozole ( femara) days 5-9..
Avatar f tn I took Femara this cycle and will be doing a single IUI probably within the next 4-5 days. I had a sort of of odd cycle last month (w/Femara but no IUI), where I spotted for 3-4 days before any real flow. I ovulated on cd15 and had a 30 day cycle if you don't count the spotting (usually its no more than 28 days). My RE says to start using OPKs on cd 11, but I'm concerned I should start earlier. Could I have miscounted and in fact the day I think was cd1 was actually a bit later?
Avatar f tn The doctor have me on femara for three months. Is femara supposed to make your stomach cramp really bad?
Avatar f tn Hi, i have just started clomid for 1st time had a natural miscarriage 7 weeks ago after falling pregnant naturally. I have a touch of pcos i have very irregular periods hence the clomid. Is there anyone who has pcos and used pregnant and concieved?
384150 tn?1399904816 m very surprised to hear that Femara has been used; as Alikat mentioned, it is prescribed for breast cancer. My mother took it a few years ago for her treatment. (Yet another reason for my hesitation over taking drugs that may affect my hormones:( Have you heard of taking Vitamin C? It's supposed to improve fertility in women with a shortened luteal phase. LOL I've always hated the length of my periods - 5 to 7 days - so does this mean it's a good thing?!
1500096 tn?1292945593 I used birth control pills for a year of which i had a regular cycle. I stopped using the pills after i got married and my cycle became very irregular. Since then, i've been unable to conceive. Any time my menstrual cycle becomes regular and i have sexual intercourse with my husband,menses ceases for months until i take some drugs that would be prescribed by the doctor.
795248 tn?1250686616 This will be my 2nd iui and this will be my third cycle on femara. I cycle on femara with iui, one cycle just femara and this cycle on femara with hopefully iui around the 30th, 1st or 2nd(weekend). We have been ttc for over 2yrs and have unexplained infertility. All of our blood work and tests and u/s are perfect. Our sperm is perfect and eggs and uterus look great. I was just looking for others that are going thru the same thing so we could support each other!!
725941 tn?1297882209 I took Femara days 3-7, which would have been January 22-26th. As for when I usually ovulate that's a tough one....I had lots of EWCM from Fb 14-17...I was put on Femara because I had stopped ovulating so I have no idea when to expect my period now. The last one I got before I started the pills was on a 42 day cycle. Hope this helps!
873190 tn?1304812975 I have no kids yet, 4 m/c, me and DH both test normal for everything! We did 3 rounds of clomid and 1 round of femara with timed intercourse (4th m/c on the first round of clomid), then we took a month off. Now, here we are trying IUI. Thanks for any feedback on IUI. I really appreciate any comments at all, success or not.
318181 tn?1336443496 Before this site, I never really knew there were so many types of meds out there depending on your situation. I HOPE AND PRAY for BFP for you all !!!!!!!!
