femara

Avatar f tn I, too, used to take Clomid and now, I take Femara! Clomid was awful - I turned into a horrific person on it, but I didn't have any side effects with Femara. I do take my Femara differently than most, though...I take 10 pills on CD3 at the same time and that's it!! It works very well for me and it's helped me ovulate sooner (I was a late ovulater) and thereby, shortened my cycles!! Good luck!
Avatar f tn C, I had the suergery in January of 2008 and how long did it take you to get pregnant? before that I was ttc for 7yrs and nothing.
Avatar f tn I've had three cancers, all estrogen positive. I tried a few medications and I'm now on Aromasin, an estrogen inhibitor. I figure I'll try the Aromasin and see if it gives me more protection from a recurrence. It's the least debilitating of the aromatase inhibitors for me, but it does cause joint pain. It's in clinical trials right now for ovca, but I am NOT waiting for the results of the trial.
Avatar f tn How long are you taking the injectibles? I wouldn't think you'd ovulate until a few days after you stop the injectibles. I'm doing my first cycle on Femara this month (no injectibles, though), and I also had EWCM for a few days before I had my trigger done. It was actually creamy the day before my CD13 sonogram, so even though I hadn't gotten a positive OPK, I actually thought I had already O'd. I hadn't. There were two follicles there at 18 and 18.5 mm.
Avatar m tn s do days 5-9), I went back to MD on day 13 for an u/s to check on follicle growth. On dat 13 I had one in my left ovary measuring 17.5mm. I started OPK testing right away. 2 days later I had a + OPK reading. Went in the next day and had IUI done and I found out on Sunday that I was PG!! So femara does work! Best of luck to you!
Avatar f tn I will be starting Femara on Aug 9th cd 3-7. It is a hard waiting process. I even hate waiting to take it but I have to wait for Provera to start working. (Which I had just started the pills today). I am praying for you that you will O really soon and sending baby dust your way.
Avatar f tn t know why she wants me to take them on CD 4 - 8 this month. I am wondering if I should switch back to Clomid for a month since I was on Femara last month.
560813 tn?1281606868 femara but it seems like everybodies post that takes the same meds all seem to take a smaller or different dose than myself..I take femara 2.5 but 3 pills once aday on my last u/s i had 2 smaller follies but docs nurse advised to wait she thinks they won't become any larger so taking my menopur was not advised for this month but I was thinking anymonth I have any size follies are good for me becus I have had several mnths with nothing at all even with meds before...
Avatar m tn im a 22 year old girl with no periods i never have any due to pcos if i get a period its with agestyn for only 4 days no longer i was wondering how to take femara without a period and how many days my doctor didnt tell me how to take it or anything i really need help bad
Avatar f tn IF you were my patient, I would, at that point, tell you to go ahead and take your Clomid/Femara or whatever medication the doctor has given you to help you ovulate. Also, be sure to get your progesterone level checked 21 days after the start of your period or 18 days after the start of your ovulation medication. Many people blow this test off, and then never know if the medicine is working or not. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Was wondering if anyone has taken this drug and how long did it take to get pregnant?
257175 tn?1204161973 I tried to ask for Femara, but my RE wouldn't give it to me since it is not FDA approved for fertility and is sanctioned as a breast cancer drug. I wish they would've though!
Avatar f tn 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....
1160836 tn?1332330169 well just want to share my story, I want to say that femara did help me to O and I was super happy that I did. this is a big stepping stone for us. wishing all the same luck on femara.
Avatar n tn Couldnt lose any weight no matter how much I tried. I am now on Femara and seem to be less bloated, getting my waist line back and actually dropped a few pounds with dieting. Is it common to gain on one (Tamoxifen) and not gain on Femara.
725941 tn?1297882209 I took 2.5 mg from days 3-7 of my cycle and todday is cycle day 24 for me. How long will it take before I know anything? I don't feel any different other than bloating for the past few days and yesterday I was a little irritable. That could just be a sign that AF might be starting to gear up. What do you guys think?
398038 tn?1247857003 Hi, I planon starting my first dose of Femara in the up coming week, my Dr. put me on Provera to onstart my sysle since they were running as long as 6 months in between. He suggested I start on day 2, but if everyone is running long on cycles, wouldn't it be better to wait a few days? I bought HPT's to take starting day 10, any thoughts?
Avatar f tn hi, i wanted to try this too. how did it go witb your friend? thanks!
Avatar n tn Thanks Heather i guess i just dont want to wait so long to start my first iui and also just read how provera can make you irregular for a few months. but i guess what you said makes sense -to start my cycle with a proper period and not anovulatory bleeding! i hate this wait!
200957 tn?1236136923 s 11 and now for the past 2 years I have been trying to make up for lost time. I use to take clomid for about 8 months and it did what it was suppose to do by helping me ovulate regularly but no luck...but that was my experience. Now my Dr. is trying a more aggressive aproach by taking hormone shots (which seem to work better for me). I notice when taking clomid that I was gaining alot of weight and instead of helping me it was making situations worse.
Avatar f tn After my HSG was normal, I had a review with my Doctor. The doctor prescribed me Femara from the 3rd day of my cycle for 5 days and has asked me to take an Ovidrel shot. They are monitoring me on Blood work and Ultrasound to make sure I ovulate and then have the Inter on time. Please help I am very anxious and I have started thinking more about this. I want to be relaxed adn just not worry about this but the moment I am free, I think of it.
296340 tn?1336164001 Your post caught my eye because I was also 13 dpo yesterday and I too am afraid to test!! This was my last cycle on Femara for a while (and my last chance to have a baby in 2008), so I am terrified to get another BFN. I can understand why your lining is making you concerned, but you did have nice follies and you bd on all the good days, so anything can happen. Good luck!
