Femara for ovulation

Common Questions and Answers about Femara for ovulation

femara

Avatar n tn I took my last Femara pill on October 18. I bought some ovulation predictor tests from the Dollar Tree and took the first on October 20th. I was positive but I wondered if the Femara caused a false positive so I took another the next day and it was negative. I tested today and there was one line but it was so faint I could barely see it. Should I have gone with another brand?
1767573 tn?1313710908 thanks for all ur advice,i will keep on using it till my next period,like i said abt the dischanges three days ago,i was also cramping,but dnt knw why the OPK didnt dectect it.am soo worried,cant wait for baby #2.
Avatar f tn I have taken Femara, but for fertility (ovulation), not necessarily endo.
366262 tn?1360031596 I don't think that would have been too soon. The sperm should be able to survive for a few days. I also took Femara for the first time this cycle on days 3-7. I didn't know what to expect either since I O'd late with Clomid, so I used OPK's and temps and appeared to have ovulated cd12. I am now 12 dpo and holding out hope, even though I've felt like AF is coming soon.
374593 tn?1257879950 If you are not planning to do IVF, then immediate ovulation induction/IUI after surgery is probably better before the endometriosis returns. I think Femara is a great choice for ovulation induction for women with endometriosis. Of course, you should discuss this with your own infertility doctor.
788859 tn?1236734548 I am just going to try Femara and timed intercourse for a while. I will start checking for ovulation tomorrow..cd10. I hope those little sticks dont get me all confused. I have heard some girls say they never see the lines the same color and end up missing the boat! Femara has been pretty good to me thus far, except for a couple of massive headaches, but they didnt last long. Questions: Have any of you conceived on just 2.5 mg a day?
Avatar f tn What is your opinion in taking femara to get pregnant? I have taken it for 3 months now. Waiting to see if I will need this months's dose.
Avatar n tn If your ovulation is normal why is the doctor recommending Clomid? Usually it is recommended for ovulation problems. It can lower estrogen level, reduce your CM, thin your endometrial lining and cause your ovulation time to shift in your cycle. It also increases the risk of multiple births. My doctor wants me to start it if I don't ovulate on my own this month, but I have amenorrhea due to anovulation, so it is probably required for me to conceive.
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!
406631 tn?1201892087 However if your periods are regular even without femara, then your chances of getting pregnant might be improved if intrauterine insemination is added to your treatment. Regarding urine ovulation prediction, if the femara is going to work to get you to ovulate, your ovulation is most likely to happen 7-10 days after your last femara.
Avatar f tn Is is a common thing to ovulate late on Femara? If so, how late is too late to hold out hope for ovulation?
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?
1580043 tn?1333550441 5mg x2 daily today and will continue it until CD7. they sad i should start testing for ovulation starting day 10. and they told me to BD on day 10,12,14,16,18. or when i get my positive opk that day and every other day for a week. This is all new any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
398038 tn?1247857003 I have taken femara and am now on my 6th month. It actually pushed ovulation out for me, from day 14 to 16 or 17. I have not tried the OPK's though. I went by temperature charts and it was very apparent in my case. We are in the 14th month of ttc. I wish you the best of luck!
Avatar n tn I am on 1st round of Femara, too. Today is cd21 for me and opk is finally getting close to positive. This is a long wait to o for me. On Clomid, I o'd between cd9 & 12. Oh well, hopefully the wait is worth it. I may be delayed from the cyst I had from the Clomid. It finally dissolved. Good luck!
992128 tn?1364371742 Results are...I am pregnant. I tried femara for 8 of my 12 months not one side effect until the last time which turned out to be the golden ticket...I had joint and lower back pain, it hurt to walk and I felt immense pain. My RE said it had nothing to do with femara but the moment I started until 4 or 5 days later until the pills were done I had pain. The next day miraculously I was fine, no more pain. This was my experience.
Avatar f tn I tested cd 13 and cd 14 it doesn't show ovulation ,do you think I am going to have ovulation ?? I'm very worry ,I stop my bd and waite for ovulation because I want the count of sperm be high ? because always I had a regular cycle and my ovulation was cd 12-13 even when I used clomid for 2 months. is it normal and healthy if my ovulation happen cd 15 or 16 or not??? thanks for supporting me.
Avatar f tn Okay so I used femara this last cycle and ovulated 4 days in a row does femara or multiple days of ovulation make me increased chances for twins because im hoping there is only one baby in there
Avatar f tn My Dr put me on Femara for the 3-7 day of AF . Was wondering if anyone has taken this drug and how long did it take to get pregnant?
405855 tn?1217100767 candie429: Oh!! So Femara is the curprilt...no wonder I have been having these headaches since the last 2 days...yesterday's was intolerable...I applied Balms, seltp but it did not help. So gulped down 2 tabs and feel better today. Thanks for asking Sheri : Even though the baby is not attached, I have heard of some effects of some meds like Asprin, Aleve, ibrufen, etc on ur hormones, blood thinning/clotting, ovulation.
257175 tn?1204161973 has accidentally called it in for me twice now, although I take Clomid. I think he uses both so often for ovulation they are interchangeable. I read lots of women here take it also.
Avatar f tn I would check with your doctor though and be sure. I was on Femara for 4 cycles and I requested an u/s during 1 cycle just for peace of mind, but otherwise I just monitored my temps and used OPK's. All the best to you! Hopefully the Femara will give you the boost you need!
Avatar f tn Thank you for your responses but I cannot take anything like Femara or Clomid. I can't take anything for fertility because in 1998 I had an arterial clot in my foot and they won't take any chances with me. Thanks anyway, I just take all vitamins.
Avatar f tn I had some medium spotting on 16th so I counted that as Day 1 of period as on a normal month thats what would happen, then started heavy bleeding on day 3 which is when I started the Fertility drug Femara.. Doc said I should of started the drug on the 19th..
Avatar f tn and i always get the pain around O time with femara and especially with femara +injectables.. not sure if its just ovulation itself or the growing ovaries or a direct result of the endo getting inflammed.. but the cycles that i have gotten pregnant i have the worst pains it seems! where i could barely walk.. and urinating etc were really painful..I can usually feel my ovary (have one left) getting bigger and twinging before O time and then all over pelvic pains after O... GOOD LUCK!
