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 so now I went to fertility clinic used provera to bring on my cycle which started on jan 7th used opk day 12 through 15 like instructed all negative went to dr had ultrasound to check for follicle growth had ripe follicle 22mm did bd late that night which was cycle day 15 next am got the smiley on clear blue digital advanced opk which meams peak chance for fertility then did bd then next night cycle day 17 went to dr day 21 progestrone test it is supposed to be between 8 and 10 mine was 21 now
Avatar f tn s muscle, skin, breast and fat), which is used to convert androgens (hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into estrogen. In the absence of estrogen, tumors dependent on this hormone for growth will shrink. Both of these medications have similar FDA approved indications.
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?
405855 tn?1217100767 But I have been on Clomid for 6 cycles before I started Femara (which I have taken in the last 2 cycles). I know for sure my follis really stretched hard to reach 18 mm by CD17 with Clomid. So Femara seems to be working better for me. I have been diagnosed of mild PCOS. And yes I have had IUI in both of my Femara cycles. Thanks for the info. I see what you are saying.
Avatar m tn s do days 5-9), I went back to MD on day 13 for an u/s to check on follicle growth. On dat 13 I had one in my left ovary measuring 17.5mm. I started OPK testing right away. 2 days later I had a + OPK reading. Went in the next day and had IUI done and I found out on Sunday that I was PG!! So femara does work! Best of luck to you!
1626928 tn?1378850167 I recently switched doctors and am getting ready to start my first cycle of femara. I am taking 2.5mg two times a day of femara/letrozole and 1500mg a day metformin. I am curious about side effects, advice, success stories, etc. I am anxious and have been TTC for 3 years total, 2 with a doctors assistance. THANK YOU in advance.
Avatar f tn I just finished taking Clomid for three months and no pregancy. I had a lap and am going to start taking Femara to try and concieve. Hopefully this works. I am just wondering if anyone else has taken Femara and what it was like ie side effects/pregnancy?! Thanks.
788859 tn?1236734548 I had an unsuccessful IUI last cycle(blood test and HPT showed negative). This cycle just doing Femara and timed IC. No Sonos for me this cycle since Femara has a low % of multiples. My only concern is being abel to catch my ovulation at the perfiect time! For some reason I have trust issues with the home ovu tests! What's up with that? Oh well. Seems like know matter what I do I find something to worry about. Its absolutley draining. blueyes34: Congrats! I love hearing success stories!
Avatar n tn My husband and I were on Clomid and Ovidrel for the past 4 months with no luck. I recently went in for a diagnostic test to see if my tubes are blocked. Everything looks great so I am relieved...sort of. I feel like if I had a reason why I am not getting pregnant, this would be easier. My husband and I had 2 miscarriages in the last 2 years so we are worried that when it does happen again, we will find ourselves in teh same situation.
Avatar f tn I just finished my 5th cycle of clomid (waiting for af to show..got negative beta on Wed.). My lining was so thin last cycle (4.2 on day of trigger) that my RE took me off the clomid. I asked about doing femara for this next cycle but she doesn't use it in her practice anymore because she had low success rates with it.
652899 tn?1284047173 I am due for my first iui in sep ..am on letrozole ( femara) days 5-9..
Avatar n tn The hormonal drugs merely block the estrogen that ER+ tumors depend on for growth. Your risk for recurrance never declines completely; no matter what .... the possibiity is always there as well as the possibility of developing another primary cancer. Regards ...
Avatar n tn I have used clomid for conception but to no avail.How else can i achieve pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Now my doctor wants me to take Femara and try the IUI with HCG trigger shot. When will the shot be given if I ovulate D14 or D15 usually? Will they wait until then or do the shot earlier? Can they miss it if they schedule it too late?
Avatar f tn I took Femara this cycle and will be doing a single IUI probably within the next 4-5 days. I had a sort of of odd cycle last month (w/Femara but no IUI), where I spotted for 3-4 days before any real flow. I ovulated on cd15 and had a 30 day cycle if you don't count the spotting (usually its no more than 28 days). My RE says to start using OPKs on cd 11, but I'm concerned I should start earlier. Could I have miscounted and in fact the day I think was cd1 was actually a bit later?
Avatar f tn The doctor have me on femara for three months. Is femara supposed to make your stomach cramp really bad?
1468143 tn?1338349243 thank you everyone for answers.
384150 tn?1399904816 m very surprised to hear that Femara has been used; as Alikat mentioned, it is prescribed for breast cancer. My mother took it a few years ago for her treatment. (Yet another reason for my hesitation over taking drugs that may affect my hormones:( Have you heard of taking Vitamin C? It's supposed to improve fertility in women with a shortened luteal phase. LOL I've always hated the length of my periods - 5 to 7 days - so does this mean it's a good thing?!
374593 tn?1257879950 t find any studies that say it increases conception rates, rather it may just make you asymptomatic during the treatment time. Do you ever use Femara for fertility purposis in Endometriosis patients - even though its blacklabel for this, it seems that it would make good sense? Thanks!
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!!
881571 tn?1326904278 m asian decent, I may be having excess hair growth but less hair follicles. Most of what I read online suggests losing weight. But i know that very little fat can also affect fertility! I'm 5'4 & 120lbs. Anyone else who has PCOS but doesn't fall into the "typical" symptom category?
Avatar f tn Been trying for a while now and was wondering if anyone has any ideas that could help me out I'm 24 and having trouble like my sister did for almost 2 years
725941 tn?1297882209 I took Femara days 3-7, which would have been January 22-26th. As for when I usually ovulate that's a tough one....I had lots of EWCM from Fb 14-17...I was put on Femara because I had stopped ovulating so I have no idea when to expect my period now. The last one I got before I started the pills was on a 42 day cycle. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn It all depends on your results, Clomid is not good for women over 40 because of how it affects the uterine lining, it is not good for implantation. I am 42 and doing back to back retrievals (getting my eggs out and fertilizing them). I am on Clomid and Menopur. I am doing a semi natural IVF. Once that is done they wait for my uterus to get back to normal and then implant the embryos at the optimum time.
