Common Questions and Answers about Femara cycle

Avatar f tn I believe I ovulated Sat 6/21, so am now 2 dpo. I took Femara this cycle so could have been 2 eggs. Is 10 or 11 dpo too early to get an accurate HPT reading? If I'm VERY lucky, 2 eggs fertilized...could that mean higher HCG? At 12 dpo I will be leaving town for a few days. If no BFP, I need to get my refill of Femara before I leave. Any thoughts? Any others in the TWW?
Avatar f tn Femara 5 mg for days 2 - 6 shortens my cycle by about 1 week (ovulate about day 14 instead of around day 20-21). My previous femara cycle resulted in my second daughter (with IUI). Am in middle of a new cycle now and did the IUI 2 days ago. So TWW for now.
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!
318181 tn?1336443496 Hello! Yes this is my second cycle on femara, and really liked it (never done clomid though) but I produced one big follie on cd 12 last month and 2 on the good side (and a smaller one on the bad side) this time!! I don't normally have CM problems, however while on femara both times I have lots of EWCM more than usual so thats a good thing! also it doesnt' thin the lining like clomid does! : ) I normally O on day 17-19 and with feamra it happens almost a week early!
Avatar f tn ( ) and have been on femara.. we got preg on femara + follistim but unfortuntely miscarried.. so i'm back on the femara and follistim again (this is cd8) many people start taking it on day 5 of their cycle instead of day 3.. so if you cna't get it until then it should be ok.. Do you already have the prescription?? what day of your cycle are you on now?? good luck!
Avatar f tn A question for you Femara ladies - did you notice any changes in when you ovulated while on Femara? I am starting my first Femara cycle in two days (I am CD1 today, doing Femara CD3-7) and just wondering what to expect. I usually ovulate CD17-19. Does Femara make you O earlier, later, about the same? Thanks for any insight!
Avatar f tn So I am getting ready to start Femara on my next cycle...Clomid not working. 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....
Avatar f tn Hi I have pcos and tried clomid with provera a few cycles with no luck at all didnt ovulate.....
1160836 tn?1332330169 Thank you I ov early this cycle thanks to femara I O on cycle day 11 is that normal with femara? I am hoping since I had mu ovarian drilling done in OCt of this year that the femara will help to O better.
Avatar f tn I am on the 4th cycle and have not had success but I definitely can say that my body responds better to femara...
Avatar f tn d like to discuss trying femara for this 6th cycle instead of clomid since it thinned my lining so much for this cycle. But..I want to know..can I expect the same type of results from femara as I have with clomid? On 100 mgs of clomid, I have had a mature follicle ready for trigger on Days 10 and 11. Thoughts? Thanks!
Avatar f tn maybe they can up your dose of femara for the next cycle. You siad you were on a low dose right? Did you check if your insurance would cover an RE, It's for pcos not fertility so most insurance companies will cover them, like I said in another post I don't have fertility insurance and they pay for my RE appointments along with the ovarian drilling. good luck hun, don't lose hope!
Avatar f tn I took Femara last cycle, but alas AF came. What was odd was that I had several days of very light spotting before actual flow, usually when I see spotting AF comes the next day. If I count my first day of real flow as day 1, my cycle ran 30 days this time (its usually never more than 28 days). Has anyone else seen these kind of changes after a Femara cycle? I also noticed a slight twinge on my right side for those few days. I'm starting Femara again this cycle, this time with IUI.
Avatar f tn Im 3dpo. And looking for others to wait with! This is my first Femara (2.5mg) cycle and only my 2nd medicated cycle. Last cycle I did 50mg of Clomid and had abnormal bleeding so had to move to Femara and I am happy to say I responded to Femara with no side effects! I plan on testing on 10 dpo (Feb 1st)! So anyone else waiting to test please comment below! Its going to be a long two weeks but we can do it!!!!
725941 tn?1297882209 i normally O around cd17 on a natural cycle. and on femara i think it was more like cd14 or 15 so a little earlier.. then 14 days from O time is when AF would come or I would test.. GOOD LUCK!
391060 tn?1204749484 We were referred to the DR that I am seeing now.
Avatar f tn I got 3 follies first cycle, and 4 last cycle. what would the difference be with femara? any side effects?
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.
795248 tn?1250686616 This will be my 2nd iui and this will be my third cycle on femara. I cycle on femara with iui, one cycle just femara and this cycle on femara with hopefully iui around the 30th, 1st or 2nd(weekend). 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!!
Avatar f tn It all depends I took femara one cycle with injectable (ovidrel) & an iui & worked on the first try. I'm 5 weeks & 3 days today. Clomid works but not for everyone clomid often thickens the cervical mucus which makes it hard for the sperm to swim to contect to the egg. I was taking tussin as well my last cycle of clomid but it didn't work. I had 6 cycles of clomid three solo & three with iui's. I wish you the best of 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 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 ?
Avatar f tn Hi! I'll be taking femara 2.5 CD3-7 next week for superovulation. Has anyone had success with femara? I'm not counting on it to work after just 1 cycle, but I'm really hoping it will! Does anyone who has taken femara have any advice? Did you ovulate later than usual???? Any info you can give is appreciated!!!!!
Avatar f tn Hi- I'm 29 and have been off the pill since march 09 with no luck getting prego on a natural cycle. DH's count is normal, my tubes are open and I ovulate on my own. I just had an endometrial biopsy last week and AF came today. I'm pretty sure the results will show that I have thin lining due to my extremely light/short periods. I'm going to start femara this cycle. Has anyone taken femara w/o IUI and had any luck? Any advice?
Avatar f tn I had no side effects from femara, whereas with clomid the side effects were terrible (moody, hot flashes, sore boobs, etc) femara was wonderful compared to clomid! my first cycle on femara I did not ovulate, but on my second round of femara i used hcg injection and got pregnant that way. good luck!!
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.
725941 tn?1297882209 Anyone taken both together? I'm just wondering what day I should start the Robitussin........I take the Femara on cycle days 3-7. I'll probably start on the last day of my pill but just wondered if anyone had any luck taking both....
Avatar n tn Well, I think day 14 is very late to start Femara. Unless your cycle is very very long, you will ikely O any day now and you are supposed to take Femara on days 5-9 (or somewhere around there).
