144100 tn?1283522567 Also, I have read that Clomid can lead to endo coming back quicker. Is this true and is it also true of Femara? I am very worried that then endo will come back, and I would really like the Femara to work well!! Thank You!

GOOD LUCK! as far as side effects i really don't have any from the femara! keep us updated!

Avatar f tn I am not getting periods after taking femara for first time now its three weeks late and i am not pregnant in blood or urine test what should i do
406631 tn?1201892087 Dear Melissa 229 - are your periods regular when you are not on femara? If they are not regular, and you are not ovulating, then femara is a good choice. 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 I am wondering if any of you that have taken Femara or Clomid have trouble w/ late periods. I usually have about a 29-30 day cycle and it seems like with this Femara and even with the Clomid my periods are like 34-36 days. This is very frustrating as I want to not have such long periods. I am getting ready to start my period and you know how it is when you know you are not pregnant and want to start the month again. Just wondering if this is normal. Thanks for any input.
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 Hello all.. I'm new to all of this! Glad I know there's a community of supporters. I was diagnosed with PCOS and my ob/gyn sent me to a fertility specialist when I mentioned pregnancy. She didn't feel it was worth the stress since I don't ovulate on mine own. I took progesterone for 10 days (moodiest I've ever been!), and then started femara on day 2 of AF. I just finished femara (day 6) and I've been experiencing headaches that won't go away.
Avatar f tn t even have this time) and Femara. After being together almost a decade and never using protection in hopes of getting pregnant, 3 years of marriage and officially trying with no results, 2 diagnoses  (PCOS and hypothyroidism), and watching everyone we know constantly getting pregnant with the endless baby showers and hospital visits, could our dream finally come true? What are the chances of IUI working the first time especially in these circumstances? Should I even bother getting my hopes up?
392087 tn?1252605359 im 29 and developed pcos at 25 and didnt get my periods for almost a year...then i got treated and then was put on bc to regularize my periods and metphormin 500mg for my ovaries...ever since then ive had an exact 24 day cycle...a year ago i stopped using bc as the doc said i had to stop it a year b4 i wanted to concieve...now its almost 16 months that im off bc and my cycles have been good...now im ttc and hoping to be blessed anytime...
Avatar f tn Some women need to go on bc to get regular and then they can tRy to conceive. Follow what your Dr recommends.
Avatar f tn I have PCOS and fail to ovulate. No periods, missed periods are common for me as well. The doctor can use ultrasound and blood work to check for this. I used clomid and got prego with twins first try, I am now using Femara to try to for another. Your doctor can use Provera to help you start your cycle as well. I would make an app. asap. You have been trying for a year now so they should help you. You might not need in vitro at the point. There are other opptions that do not cost as much.
384150 tn?1399904816 i have used both clomid and femara, prescribed by my RE. i didn't get pg, but he felt femara to be a better drug.
Avatar f tn I used Clomid for one cycle and it worked. Did you ovulate on Femara? Some women with PCOS have better luck with Femara than they had with Clomid.
193609 tn?1292180293 Before taking metformin, my cycles could last up to 6 months without a period. So, I started meformin and my periods began getting normal. Started off 42 days per cycle, then worked its way down to holding steady at 35 days per cycle. Then this month, jumprs back up to 48 days in the cycle!!! How long does it take for Metformin to even stuff out enough to make cycles consistant? I have lost 37 lbs (17% body weight) and I just don't know what else I can do to make my cycles more normal!
Avatar m tn I was on chlomid for 7 months and for the past 2 months have been on femara. I got my period this week and took 3 days of femara - on the 3rd day had a funny feeling like I should take a pregnancy test. It came back positive. I went to get blood taken and it too came back that I'm pregnant. What are my chances of having complications - birth defects - if I carry to full term?
Avatar f tn Greetings: I have hepatitis C and am taking 2.5 Femara. My oncologist and my Hep C doc are at odds about the amount i should take. My Hep C doc thinks i should only be taking 1/2 that amount. I'm at a loss as to what to do. I recently had a liver biopsy which showed no scarring and have had Hep C for almost 30 years. I am worried that the Femara may be doing untold damage to my liver. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn I am a 29yr femalen and I am ttc I had all the blood work done and its showing I have PCOS. I was put on metformin 500mg last month and had one cycle of femara 2.5mg and my doctor said it was not working as fast as he wanted to accoriding to the u/s. He said my PCOS was still hindering my ovaries from working properly.So I am going to see a specialist next week. He also increased the metformin to 1000mg and it will increase again on the 14th to 1500mg.
658287 tn?1318893057 Hello.. are you on any progesterone supplements?? well i would just give it some time and retest in a few days if AF is still not there.. sometimes people can have delayed ovulation even with a trigger shot and you may have ovulated later than you think.. femara didn't delay my periods in the past, however i was always on progesterone so as soon as i stopped that then AF would come! GOOD LUCK! keep us updated!
Avatar f tn Has anyone used Femara or Clomid and a "boost" of injectables and gotten a BFP? I will be doing 5mg of Femara CD 4 - 8 and then 150IU's of Menopur CD 9 - 11. We'll go in on CD 12 to check the follies and then hopefully proceed with IUI. I am hoping for more than 1 follicle. With Clomid and Femara I usually only have one follicle. It is usually nice and big though. Any thoughts would be helpful - any! Thanks..
Avatar f tn I have recently taken my first cycle of Femara to make me ovulate. I have PCOS and do not ovulate often. I am now on cycle day 19 and according to my BBT I have not ovulated. Is is a common thing to ovulate late on Femara? If so, how late is too late to hold out hope for ovulation?
1598728 tn?1297891916 I went off birth control back in December and my husband and I are trying to conceive. I had two completely regular, ovulatory cycles (based on my temps, etc.) but am now in day 74 of my "cycle" and have had no temp increase at all. I am definitely not pregnant, but I am DEFINITELY frustrated. Why is this happening, and what can I do to get my cycles back on track?
