Femara egg quality

Common Questions and Answers about Femara egg quality

femara

368461 tn?1291515587 High FSH can mean lower quality eggs and clomid supposed to improve egg quality. Sounds like a reasonable course of action. I know several ladies who had healthy babies with fsh above 10 so your level sounds good. I heard that anything below 10 is considered a good level. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I actually read somewhere that ovulating later in your cycle meant a better quality egg, but I don't remember where I read it. Later being day 12 - 15, day 10 was ovulating early. sorry never took Femara.
1235159 tn?1323009319 I took Femara during my previous IVF cycle, but I failed to get high quality of egg and enough number of egg.
666970 tn?1273759854 is the FSH level an indication of poor egg quality or reduced reserve or both? Have other people gotten pregnant and carried the baby to term with this high of number? Anyone have experience with Femara? Just a little background about me. We have a 2 year old dd and got pregnant in just a few months of trying with her. After that I had 2 miscarriages ( April and December of 07.) Thanks for any advice you might have.
Avatar n tn ve been told that anything over 5 indicates ovulation did take place, anything over 10 on a nonmedicated cycle means that the egg was of good quality, and they want to see it over 15 for a medicated cycle (clomid, femara, injections, etc). Then once you ARE pregnant 10 is the magic number to sustain a pregnancy. The number isn't quite where is should be so I doubt you are pregnant. When I started my fertility treatments it started out a .6,3.8,7.4,13.7,22.
Avatar f tn 3 and am undergoing IVF treatments and each time after strong FSH doses for stimulation I get one very good fertilized egg ( blastocyst). I think my eggs quality is not good so what can I do to get more then one good fertilized egg? is there any medications or herbs or food diet to improve eggs quality?
Avatar f tn The clomid and femara (essentially the same thing), are meant to grow the follicles, to make them bigger, with the idea that that might help you ovulate a better quality egg. It is also meant to help you ovulate more than one, potentially. The Injectables (I use Bravelle) is to REALLY make sure you grow those follies and ovulate more than one. It's a numbers game. IF you ovulate more than one follie and you grow them ahead of time, then you might get pregnant with a better quality egg.
Avatar f tn First, it can help you release more than one egg thus increasing your chances. Also, it can improve the quality of the egg you are releasing. I hope it works for you!!! I tried clear blue easy OPKs with clomid and it worked well. Just make sure you start testing at least 2 days after your last clomid pill or else you can get a false positive.
Avatar f tn I remember reading that this is totally normal - Clomid usually creates multiple ones, but with Femara (especially the lower doses), you usually just get one good quality egg. Like bny said, it will grow pretty much these next few days, so it looks like you are right on track. Just hang in there and everything should be just fine. All the best to you!
Avatar f tn Plus, I wonder about my egg quality with that low AMH level. My doctor refuses to do FSH injections because she said it would be too hard on my body of someone of my weight. She won't do clomid because she said it would thin the lining and make me bleed more. So, I guess that means I really can't have IVF either. Is there anything else I can try at this point? I don't have a lot of options. Just thought I would ask before moving to adoption. Thank you!
Avatar f tn Does this mean a) I should not pursue IVF b) I have an increased risk of miscarriage because of the AMH numbers [I realize by age thus egg quality I am more prone to miscarriage] Also, Is femara a better choice than clomid because of thinning of uterine linings?
456732 tn?1338567829 m wondering if by the time I ovulate all the gd quality sperm has gone? plus, since taking clomid my cervical mucas has altered and I find it hard to test it to judge the right time and I get cramps and ovulate type pain more than once each cycle,any suggestions?
Avatar f tn did u ask ur OB as to why she gave u the C.? there must be a reason...i O my own as well.but my cycles were long and my egg quality weren't that good due to being 35..so we wanted to take C to have a shorther cycles and to produce healthier eggs... u should find out the reason first before u give up on it? and answering ur question,I don't think so..
Avatar f tn But I also agree with rene67, the fact that it can help you produce more than one egg is also a plus...maybe the second (or third) egg is of higher quality and has a better chance of "sticking"! Best of luck to you!
Avatar n tn No, metformin has been proven to increase egg quality..but that doesn't increase your chances of getting pregnant. Be careful, it causes major dehydration. Take it slow, start with one pill a day for at least 2 weeks. It also irritates the stomach. You can also eat a diet that is high in protein...less carbs...seems to be tolerated more when you're on metformin. good luck!
Avatar f tn In my expereicen, I understand that we cant do much about improving egg quality, though as a human effort we can try accupunture, DHEA, multi vitamins, wheat grass, maca, fish oil omega and etc, nothing helped me. having said that, what were the basis that your doctor concluded that ovaries are not "as expected", what are your FSH, AMH and LH levels?
Avatar f tn Hi all. I'm doing my first IVF and am taking gonal-f. is there any advice on how to produce good quality eggs cos i'm so scared of bad news after my egg retrieval. I did 4 IUI already.
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?
Avatar n tn 2) and had 18 good quality eggs, 5 blastocyst embryos. Now I am going through IVF again (lost identical twin boys to TTTS at 20 weeks) and worried about the elevated FSH.
144100 tn?1283522567 Second, femara results in a thicker, better looking endometrium, than clomid. On the other hand, femara is more likely to result in one egg being released, rather than multiple. I don't know of any info regarding clomid making endometriosis coming back more quickly. Why have you been prescribed femara? Are your periods irregular without a medicine that helps you to ovulate? Does your MD think it may help keep the endometriosis at bay?
Avatar n tn I just got pregnant on Femara - it wasn't my first time though. I also had IUI. Good luck! I recommend it much more than clomid - clomid is the devil!
Avatar f tn I got pregnant my 2nd month taking Femara, unfortunatley that pregnancy was a blighted ovim. I started the Femara up again and just finished my 3rd month. I take 2.5 mg on days 3-7. Good luck! It really does work!
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??
566175 tn?1278430472 I developed 4 follicles and got pregnant 3 times but m/c all 3. My doctor said that probrably the egg quality was not good seeing as the test were coming back normal.And i only did timed Bd and not the IUI. For me it worked even though it dind't end in a happy ending. Good luck to you.
Avatar n tn Is there a clinical study and shows femara vs placebo rather than femara vs tamoifen (novartis trial)? What is the general recommendation? Can you stop femara if side effects become a quality of life issue? Thank you.
Avatar f tn What is your opinion in taking femara to get pregnant? I have taken it for 3 months now. Waiting to see if I will need this months's dose.
