femara

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 I have used clomid for conception but to no avail.How else can i achieve pregnancy.
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!
374593 tn?1257879950 What are your opinions on Lupron for 3-6 months post-op, in order to achieve pregnancy in a patient with mod-severe endometriosis? From what i've ready I can'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 as per my RE, it can take upto 30 days for Clomid to get out of our systems...there is another drug - Femara which has a much shorter life span in our bodies!
1235159 tn?1323009319 ve done two cycles of Femara..lots of follicles but no pregnancy. I have ovarian cysts too. I am starting injectables in April.
Avatar f tn 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).

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!
413852 tn?1317308712 Your OBGYN is right. Mine also had me use Femara for 4 cycles to try to increase our chances since I am in the dreaded "unexplained" category. It worked great for me, I O'd consistently, and had minimal side effects (just headaches and hot flashes here and there). We didn't end up with our BFP, but I have seen a lot of women who have with the Femara. Here are two information packets on it.
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.
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 m tn Hi i started femara 2.5 mg on june 18 (days 3-7) and my cycles normally come every 24 days. I am now 3 days passed due. I have taken a pregnancy test which was negative. Any suggestions ?
1404364 tn?1289431561 Gosh, I hope that this works for you! Femara has a pretty high rate of playing a positive role in getting pregnant and produces greater results than clomid. I had cramping like my period was coming on when I was early pregnancy. It's too early to test. I did use the early testing strips but didn't get a positive until 4 days out from my period. Do you temperature check? I found that extremely effective in understanding when I ovulated and if I was pregnant or not.
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 Also, you may wish to consider trying Metformin together with the Femara. Studies indicate a slightly higher pregnancy rate with the combination of the two. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I got pregnant my 2nd month taking Femara, unfortunatley that pregnancy was a blighted ovim. I started the Femara up again and just finished my 3rd month. I take 2.5 mg on days 3-7. Good luck! It really does work!
873190 tn?1304812975 No, I do not have PCOS. The idea behind Clomid or Femara for me is to ovulate more than one egg, giving me more chances that one of them will be "good" and it will get fertilized.
Avatar f tn Hi, I did femara with IUI. No side effects for me except pregnancy. Unfortunately I lost that pregnancy at 12 weeks, but I'll be trying again (also with femara) this month. Femara doesn't affect cervical mucous or endometrial lining so is better than clomid in that respect. I had lots of symptoms on clomid. None at all on femara. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn Im also on femara cycle.I don't ovulate on my own .clomid didn't work on me. I have been using femara for 6 cycles. Its working very well. Im ovulating every month and im getting periods on my own.I had iui this month,waiting for results. I wish u good luck.
509981 tn?1210965313 Hi. I understand your concern. When my doc first prescribed this, I of course went to the internet for info since she didn't provide any and I came across a lot of information about birth defects. Like Tina said, it gets processed very quickly by your body and will not still be around when implantation occurs. I was sure to monitor my temps and also use HPT's to make sure I definitely wasn't pregnant before starting another round.
652899 tn?1284047173 I am due for my first iui in sep ..am on letrozole ( femara) days 5-9..
Avatar n tn What cycle day are you today? And what cycle days did you take femara? As far as I know, femara does not cause a false positive...especially not two days after the last pill.
Avatar f tn I was asking for pregnancy. Not sure when I would be due for my period, because I never been on a normal cycle. Congrats and best wishes! May I ask how many rounds of Femara it took and what dose? I am on 5 mg. Thank you so much for your response. It was helpful.
