Avatar f tn Hi there.. Im 29 and on a failed cycle of femAra + injectables as started with some mid cycle spotting!! Cd18 today so just waiting for AF to arrive to start afresh..any buddies out there??
Avatar f tn Went in for 3rd sono hoping for at least 18-20mm after it being 4 days since last sono, but still only had 2 follicles that were 13mm and 15mm. So my bigger follicle had not grown but 1mm in 4 days and the other smaller one looked like it had some fluid accumulating around it. They think that the fluid and decrease in size could be from the release of the egg.
Avatar f tn ll probably get the shot D12 so you ovulate D14, but follicle size might alter this. They may mature differently on Femara than w/o any meds. Oh, and your doc should still advise you to do LH kits each day to make sure you don't ovulate before the shot. Good luck!!
Avatar f tn By day 11 of this cycle which is my first cycle on femara, I had one follicle at size 17 and the others looked slow to be growng. But today (day 13) there are 3 that she says are catching up - I believe 2 were at 13. Now I'm not sure what day my fertility doctor would have normally started me on femara but because my very first initial consultation with him happen to land on my day 5 of my cycle then he started me right away on it that day.
Avatar f tn This is the first month I have been on the femara before that I was on clomid for 6 months with nothing happening at all. I have CD 13 follicle scans. Friday was my CD 13 scan and it showed two follicles one on each ovary. Not sure of sizes. I have been using ovulation test since my scan. They were all negative til CD 16 I had a positive at 12:30 pm that day and then that night I took one at 7 and it was negative then again at 10 the same night.
Avatar f tn He thinks my second miscarriage was due to low progesterone, and said clomid/femara will help increase my chances by producing stronger eggs and a stronger ovulation...and therefore also higher progesterone levels. Oh, and I did four unmedicated IUI cycles over a year ago, and I also always had a nice mature follicle before ovulation. This time around, the follicles are about the same size, but my progesterone levels at 7 dpo much higher (41.4 on my first femara cycle).
Avatar f tn With the above medication, I seem to have put on weight and become quiet moody. Have headaches in the evening usually on CD17 and CD18 and a bloated feeling most of teh days , have observed this in the last few cycles. Is this common with Femara or Progesterone. A bit worried bcos, I also have PCOS and with the weight increase it might hamper my chances of conception. Any advise anyone ?
Avatar f tn Jan 2012 ... repeated meds.. Femara 5mg. CD 2-6, Gonal F 75IU on CDs 7-9.. U/s Day 11.. leading follicle size 11mm..... FRUSTRATED!!!! Is there any hope that an upped dosage of Gonal F would make them grow further?? Has anyone else been in this situation??
328927 tn?1227761840 I have mild PCOS and responded to Clomid with 1 follicle for two cycles (one bd, another iui). I skipped a month w/meds and O'd on my own. I just started Femara cd3-7 and Follistim 75 cd5-9, and haven't been able to find out any real live stories of BFP with this protocol, how many tries it took and number and size of follies normally seen. I was also wondering how many follicles is to few, and how many are too many where the RE could cancel a cycle in fear of OHSS?
Avatar f tn If there is a nice follicle of approx 2 cm size, and your opk is positive, that is when I would do IUI, and then confirm ovulation with either a post ovulation scan or a progesterone level on day 21. (I'm sure you are already aware that the opks are positive 24-36 hours before ovulation). I tend to be a minimalist, so maybe all the intervention is warranted. I certainly do not know your history. I sometimes believe that doing too much causes rather than cures infertility.
Avatar f tn Why do REs start with Clomid and not Femara? We all know that Clomid causes CM dryness and cysts.. then y do REs not start with Femara from the first time itself??? This Q has been bothering me since long.. Anyone knows???
405855 tn?1217100767 Femara, Letrozol from CD3-7. On CD14, US revealed 1 follice on left of size 32 !!! Is this normal ? No LH surge yet. They told me to go with regular intercourse, no IUI recommended. Whats going on ? Will I ovulate?
2089508 tn?1332881915 I went for an ultrasound today, day 11, and I have 3 follies on one side that are 13. The ones on the other side were pretty small. Last month, my first IUI, I had one that was 17 at this point in my cycle. I am a little worried that they aren't bigger than 13 today. They said my hormones were fine and my LH was not quite there yet..not close to ovulation time. I was encouraged by that since my follies are still too little.
Avatar f tn m on my second cycle with Femara and Ovidrel, and we actually just did IUI today. What is it that you are so worried about specifically? I haven't had any bad side effects so far from either drug, although I have to admit I had a tough time giving myself the needle. I ended out having hubby do it for me. As for how long it takes to get your bfp, it really differs from person to person. Some people will get lucky on the first round and other have to keep moving up the ladder.
1065258 tn?1273784139 I am on 100mg of clomid and I have one follicle 9mm on left side and a few small on right. My Dr seemed positive .. Said my lining was great .. So I'm scheduled for IUI tomorrow morning.. My questions are.. Will my follicle grow after trigger shot this evening? Do I have still a chance to get pregnant with only one follicle? What exactly will the hcg shot do for me? Last (dumb) question.. How many eggs are in one follicle?
1647475 tn?1363137097 I am 29 and we've been TTC for 3 years now without any positive results (no miscarriages either though). I took 6 rounds of Clomid (3 at 50 mg & 3 at 100mg) and nothing. I am seeing a fertility specialist now and this is my first month taking Femara at 5 mg and we'll combine it with IUI as soon as get positive ovulation.

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).
Avatar f tn Hi I have pcos and tried clomid with provera a few cycles with no luck at all didnt ovulate.....
Avatar f tn Hi there-I was on clomid 2 months with IUI and trigger-only had 2 follicles both times. I was on Femara this month, trigger and IUI and I had 6 follicles. I also took it on 4-8. So, for me, femara worked much better. I didn't do Menopur. I am in my 2ww and will find out on Tuesday. I wish you all the best!
1580043 tn?1333550441 Hello! Yes, cramping from both ovaries is common from Femara and Clomid (and other similar ovulatory drugs) by increasing amounts of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Under normal hormone levels a race progresses for one follicle to become the largest, but when there's extra FSH multiple follicles will become enlarged in both ovaries. This is most likely what you're feeling, as I've had similar symptoms from Clomid.
Avatar f tn I am scheduled for Saturday to have a follicle scan and to find out when to take the ovidrel. I was just wondering if anyone else has achieved pregnancy this way. Also i am nervous about the injection.
Avatar f tn yep, of course and I'm on my second cycle of Femara. I've caught a horrble bug and have been home..im going to the Dr this afternoon. The good news is I've been resting alot and once I get the pos OPK, I will have my donor come over. It is AI anyways. Me being sick shouldn't affect my cycle will it?
778044 tn?1299542934 I'm on Clomid and the norm. is for me to go in on Day 3 to get a baseline and then again a week later on Day 10. Both times for this cycle and last cycle, I had a mature follicle by that point so for this next cycle it's probable that I'll go in on Day 9 instead. If you do not have a mature follicle a week after your baseline, they will have you come back based on the measurement of your follicle(s) and how much it/they will grow per day. Hope that helps!
