Common Questions and Answers about Femara days 3-7

femara

Avatar f tn I am currently 3dpo and used femara for the first time this cycle. I did 5mg/day (two 2.5mg caps) on days 3-7. I too have wondered why there seem to be so many different days and doses, but haven't been able to find much about it. I certainly would like to know if another method - like taking the whole 5 day dose on one day - works better than others, but haven't had a chance to ask my doc yet.
Avatar f tn femara + follistim injectables worked for us several times (we did miscarry though) i used 5mg femara days 3-7 and follistim days 3, 5, 7 and 9 ...with IUI.. GOOD LUCK!!! it works for a lot of people!
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 n tn i also just got finished taking femara. i was told to take it cd 3-7, yesterday was cd7 and then i am suppose to bd cd 14,16,18.
Avatar f tn ll have my second IUI next week and currently taking letrozole (femara) 5mg days 3-7. Hopefully this round works.
Avatar f tn Hmm! That's a good question. Yeah, you'd normally take it cycle days 3-7, 4-8 or 5-9. Are you still on cycle day 1? If I were you, I would just not take it on cycle day 2, and then take the rest on cycle days 3-6. But I would probably call the nurses at your doctor's office and ask them if they think that sounds like a good plan first. Best of luck this cycle!
Avatar f tn Just wanted to know when others were O ing on femara days 3-7. I know I have time still I am on CD 12.
Avatar f tn My Dr put me on Femara for the 3-7 day of AF . Was wondering if anyone has taken this drug and how long did it take to get pregnant?
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 i am on it now for the first time, IUI this coming weekend, so fingers crossed.
Avatar n tn Well I have been on 3 cycles of Femara starting CD3-7. I go for US on CD12 and always get a very big follicle. I am instructed to start OPK only on CD10 which is 3 days after my last dose. Femara stay in your body for apprx 48 hr. Maybe it does give a false positive on OPK and that why they ask me to start testing only 3 days after last dose.
Avatar f tn first Day Of Femara 2.5 Mg Days 3-7. ExtremelyNervous. I Don't Like Taking Meds. Need Advice Or Encouragement. Anyone Have Success With Femara?
406631 tn?1201892087 hello everyone im new here and i came to this site to see if i could get some help ive been ttc for 3 years now i just recently went to the doctor about 3 weeks ago and he put me on prometrium 400mg everyday for 10 days and then letrozole or femara 5mg cycle days 3 through 7 anyway im checkin for ovulation now and my test have not shown any surge of LH yet but its my first day to test what im wondering is is it normal to cramp what feels like in both my ovaries right before ovulation?
Avatar f tn I would have you take the Femara on days 3-7 and then check your progesterone level on cycle day 21. If your natural level is fine, there is no need to supplement during the second half of the cycle. I would probably supplement with progesterone if you had a positive pregnancy test though. Also, you may wish to consider trying Metformin together with the Femara. Studies indicate a slightly higher pregnancy rate with the combination of the two. Good luck!
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....
1235159 tn?1323009319 Hi, I tried Femara 2.5 mg.. CD 3-7 had my surge on CD14 BD on CD 15-16.. but no success for us .. I did just call RE and ask to be put on higher dose CD 5-10 .. Maybe that will work for me... I did have severe headache for 3 days.. then they went away.. I hope you get your BFP..... Im 42 soo maybe thats why its not working for me.....? Mary..:) God Bless...
725941 tn?1297882209 My RE recently gave me Femara to take since I had stopped ovulating. I have been advised to take it from days 3-7 of my cycle. I am on my third pill today and am wondering approx when I should ovulate so I know when my hubby and I should BD. Thanks again for the help!
Avatar f tn t normally post a lot but i wanted to let u know I got pregnant on my first cycle of femara and ovidrel. I think I took femara days 3-7 and then had a trigger when my follicles were ready. I had done 3 cycles of chlomid with no luck but got pregnant my first f/o cycle. I'm 26 weeks right now! So good luck ladies! I'm sure it will all work out!
Avatar f tn Well I have started my fourth month of femara. I haven't really had any side effects with this prescription.
318181 tn?1336443496 Hi girls. I'm starting my first femara/menopur cycle today, and was wondering if someone could help me. I'm taking femara on days 3-7, and a 75 IU shot of menopur on days 3, 5 and 7. So today (CD3), I'll be taking both a femara pill and a menopur shot. My question is, do I take them both at the same time (i.e. both in the a.m.)? Or do I take femara in the a.m. and the shot in the p.m.?
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?
366262 tn?1360031596 I don't think that would have been too soon. The sperm should be able to survive for a few days. I also took Femara for the first time this cycle on days 3-7. I didn't know what to expect either since I O'd late with Clomid, so I used OPK's and temps and appeared to have ovulated cd12. I am now 12 dpo and holding out hope, even though I've felt like AF is coming soon.
506760 tn?1218044941 5 mg per day, but it can be increased to 5 or even 7.5 mg (I think). I was on 5 mg on days 3-7 and had an ultrasound during one month that showed one 20mm follie, so that dose worked for me. Of course, everyone is different. I would definitely talk to your RE. I'm not sure what else you have tried, but maybe a different medicine would even work better for you. Best of luck to you!
Avatar f tn He tried me on one more round of clomid 150mg to no avail. I had an HSG done and all tubes were clear. I was then put on letrozole (femara) days 3-7. Went in on day 14 for an u/s and had a follicle measuring 17.5mm. Did OPK for a few days and got my +. Went in the following day and had IUI. I am now 12.5 weeks pg with TWINS! It can and it does work!!!
296340 tn?1336164001 ve been one...femara and menopur. I did three cycles with femara days 3-7, and one shot of menopur on days 3, 5 and 7 (75IU), but one of them got cancelled. Then this past cycle, I did femara/menopur again, but this time did a menopur shot every day from from day 3 to day 10. Unfortunately, it didn't work, though. My RE is completely confused why it's not happening. So I'm now moving on to IVF.
