Femara for fibroids
Common Questions and Answers about Femara for fibroids
femara
Yes i did. It took me awhile because I had fibroids and decided to remove them. Once the doctor gave me the okay after healing, I was pregnant right away. I knew i was pregnant before it was confirmed.
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.
Hi!
The medication you were given is a therapy for yeast infections. Yeast is NOT a sexually transmitted disease, but can cause discharge and irritation.
It won't help your periods though. For irregular periods, there are generally two good ways to go depending upon if you are ready for babies or not.
If not, oral contraceptive pills can regulate your cycles nicely and protect your uterus for the future as well as reducing the blood loss and clotting.
I have been taking femara for a year now and I too had shots for the carpal tunnel. They helped a lot but at night I sleep with a brace and a quilted sleeve on my right arm because I also have Lymphodemia in my right upper arm. Everyone is diffrent in how the meds work hope you find what works for you...
I started a week late, I had horrible cramps and bled very heavily. These symptoms were only for the first two days of my period but I haven't hurt so bad and been so sick since high school! I start 100 mgs of Clomid today and I am scared to see what my next period will be. Do I need to make an appointment to see my dr or is this common for women taking Clomid??
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?
) My doctor believes that the fibroids will continue to grow (most likely, but they are growing slowly) and could become cancerous(not usual for fibroids) or necrotic. He says while in for the laparoscopy for the ovarian cyst and ovary, I could have my uterus out and leave the left ovary. But he says if I wait, will later have to have a cut-down instead, which is of course much longer in recovery.
I'm seeing my D.O.
I am 51 and haven't had a period for 5 months. Three years ago I had UAE for fibroids causing severe bleeding. Suddenly, several weeks ago I started having burning pain which sometimes went into my lower back. It was discovered I had a 7 cm fibroid. I have no bleeding at all this time. My GYN wants to do a vaginal hysterectomy but I was wondering if I could have another UAE instead. OR...
a small cyst was found in addition to 2 fibroids and some fluid in the uterus. I was told also that I could monitor the cyst for a few months, but my Dr. did want to check on the fibroids since, after menopause they really aren't usually "there".. So , in my case menopause didn't do a thing to the fibroids. Now, they were small and she actually just left them. But usually it is a concern in patients our age ...
Never has been proven it was caused by Femara, but better safe than sorry. Because of my risk for clots, Tamoxifen would not be a choice for me. I have only been on Aromasin for about two weeks, so I can't really give you an accurate evaluation of it just yet. One of my doctors told me you can't really tell if any of these drugs are working, however, until you've taken them at least three months.
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!
This is my second month on femara. I am on cd15 and my follies are growing so slow - only 13.5mm! (Last month they were 17mm on cd12!). Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Also, what is too slow? Is there a day by which your RE would just stop the cycle and induce AF?
I am just worried to get prego so late in my cycle. The 2 miscarriages I had were when I ovulated late (but were natural cycles, no meds).
