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 f tn Has anyone had any luck with taking femara for unexplained infertility? I'm 29 and have been off the pill since March 2009, actively TTC since November 2009. DH's counts are normal, my tubes are open, I ovulate on my own and my uterine lining is good. RE is having me start femara this cycle (days 3-7). Has anyone had luck with taking femara (without IUI) for unexplained infertility?
1697057 tn?1351540435 m 38) and nothing-why do I not get pregnant and why is he putting me on Femara?Are there contraindications using Femara even if you do regularly ovulate?How useful is it?Thank you so much....
Avatar f tn I took Femara and got pregnant when also doing injections. I had unexplained infertility. It appeared my eggs were not maturing on their own and I kept getting cysts. I am now 19 weeks pregnant. My treatment was femara, injection for 3 days, HCG shot and IUI. Your doctor will find a treatment that will work for you. Keep your hopes up. I remember choosing to not be stressed out about whether I was going to get a positive or not and it worked for me. Good Luck!!!
Avatar f tn Anyone get pregnant using femara/letrozole after being given unexplained infertility diagnosis? How many months did you take it before you got your positive? Me: 28 Hubby: 30 Sperms analysis perfect, laparoscopy perfect, all tests for ovulation and ultrasounds looked perfect. Trying since 2012 no pregnancy yet This is my 2nd cycle on femara, next ovulation expected on 1/14. If 3rd cycle not successful, will do iui with femara anyone else done this and got pregnant? ?

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 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 n tn Hi been ttc for 18 month with no luck every ovulation test i have done in 3 months have been negative i am getting tested for endometriosis
573555 tn?1217281857 I use clomid for 6mths with timed BDing and that did not work. At that point we moved from OBGYN to RE. My Re put me on Femara for 2 cycles w/ IUI and we had no luch there either. We have now moved on to IVF. Are you working with an RE? I know it's hard but try to stay positive. Being on this site i've learned that great things happen when you least expect it. I wish you all the best of luck.
Avatar f tn Femara for the treatment of infertility. Some of these studies showed that Femara is more effective than Clomid, while other studies showed that they are equally effective. A few studies have suggested that Femara may be effective in cases in which women have not ovulated while taking Clomid (these women are said to be "Clomid-resistant" or "clomiphene-resistant").
795248 tn?1250686616 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!!
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.
Avatar n tn Unexplained infertility for 1.5 years. I am not sure what could be the reason for my infertility , it might be endo but they didn't do a laparo for me yet. If anyone can tell me what other options do I have if Clomid failed?? So what worked for you ?
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.
1626928 tn?1378850167 Treatment of endometriosis will depend on its severity. Consult an infertility expert. Do not get disheartened as treatment for infertility may take a few years to give results. Hope this helps.
1530658 tn?1299766324 I completely understand. We TTC for over 36 months before we finally got referred to do an IUI with Femara. Initially they told us that there were no issues that they could see (based on a couple blood tests, a sperm analysis, and normal annual exams for me). I finally demanded to be referred to a specialist (RE) and we DID have issues (both of us) preventing us from getting PG.
1019279 tn?1252587122 I have unexplained infertility, all tests point to healthy eggs, ovaries, and I ovulate. Are you seeing an RE? I went to a gyno for 11 months and he had me on Femara. I went to an RE and was pregnant within 3 months, he increased my doesage and ordered a trigger with timed BD. Have you had an HSG?
Avatar m tn My doctor is open to prescribing Femara. But he is not sure if that will be more successful for me as i am ovulating normally also. I am so confused of whether to keep trying with IUI or moving to IVF.
553399 tn?1290832126 side does not function due to severe endometriosis and an endometrioma destroyed it - had it removed by surgery, and we have lots of other issues too) we got preg using femara, follistim and IUI.. unfortuantely miscarred later , but trying again with the injectables and femara and IUI.. so hopefully it will work again! GOOD LUCK!
1287560 tn?1272216521 Have asked before but want to hear of any positive stories using letrozole(femara) to help with ovulation, this drug is primarily a drug used to help with breast cancer and is still in research stage for fertility problems, my dr is talking with other gp's because is not happy to prescribe it to me.
Avatar f tn I will be starting Femara on my next cycle. I tried Clomid for 2 cycles, but I believe that it is thining my lining and drying up CM. I've read that this does not happen with Femara. Any other differances/similarities? I know that Clomid makes you O late, but have been reading that Femara makes you O early. Is this true? Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. btw I already O on my own, I'm taking it to produce more eggs.
