femara menopur

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.

in the past i used clomid/menopur with a trigger shot. this month, he switched to femara/menopur with a trigger. what is different about femara? I got 3 follies first cycle, and 4 last cycle. what would the difference be with femara? any side effects?

We will be moving on to 5mg of Femara Cd 4 - 8 and then menopur CD 9 - 11. Then trigger and IUI. Has anyone had success with this? I usually take Femara on CD 3 - 7 so I don't know why she wants me to take them on CD 4 - 8 this month. I am wondering if I should switch back to Clomid for a month since I was on Femara last month.

This is my 3rd cycle. Any one with success stories on femara 7.5 from day 2 to 6and menopur 75 from day 3to7. Had scan today and menopur was increased to 150.

Thank you so much ladies for the input. I greatly appreciate it.

Hi Tina, and welcome to the forum! I just started my second round of femara/menopur today, so I'm hoping to have a success story to share towards the end of the month :-) As for your follicles, if you will be taking an HCG trigger shot before your IUI, all mature follicles will be released, whether or not they are the dominant ones, so if you have a lead one on your right side now, chances are it will mature and release.

I am getting ready to turn 37 years of age and I have been trying to conceive for the past few years - went through testing (no issues on my end nor husbands, diagnosed with unexplained infertility). I've tried clomid, femara, gonal-f and menopur over the past year. My most recent IUI cycle was cancelled due to a poor response and estradiol levels dropped on menopur (150 iu); however, the next protocol is recommended to be menopur again - but at a higher dose of 300 iu (150 2x per day).

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.?

I don't know what Ovidrel is, is that the trigger shot? I took Menopur, femara and Novarel together (I think Novarel is the same as Ovidrel).

=) I had my iui earlier today, so I'm officially in my 2ww..... ahhhh its already driving me crazy!

No side effects on menopur! I used it with femara and it produced 2-3 good follicles each time! I was only on 75 units, though, and except for the last one, I only took it every other day for a total of three shots. (Jen: I just finished bravelle/menopur for my IVF cycle...also no side effects!

Good luck to you :) I did Femara, menopur and a an hcg. We couldn't move forward on month because I had 6 mature eggs, the next 4 and then 3. We have all the right component,but no success :(.

I would ask about a combo cycle. Femara or clomid cd3-7 and then some kind if injectibles (follitism or something like menopur) cd8 until your follicles are mature and ready to be triggered. This is way cheaper then injections only and has a lower likelihood is producing high order multiples. This is what ended up working for me when clomid and Femara alone didn't. I am now 18 weeks pregnant with my second. Good luck.

That is the wrong info, it 100% happens and is happening to me, And is not from low progesterone! It is from IVF meds like Femara, Estrogen Patch, Menopur.

I had a min of two follicles that were ready The DR said their maybe more there were so many follicles that they could not measure them all. I was on femara and today is cd 11 so I am thinking positive and that I will get preggo this month.

yep..sounds famliar. I was crampy on Femara but I will not be using Femara again since it made me cystic..i just finished a cycle of Menopur injections and had no side effects whatsoever. I am on the 2ww.

Hi buttercup, and welcome to the forum! I'm on menopur too! Im cycle day 9 today, and took femara (similar to clomid) on days 3-7 and then a 75 IU shot of menopur on days 3, 5 and 7. This is my first month on menopur, so I won't really know how things look until I go in for my CD12 sonogram on Friday. I also take the shot in the abdomen. I would alternate between the right and left side of my belly button, and had no problems with the shots. What days are you taking menopur?

Then sept i go in another lap surgery because i had to remove my appendix. This mth trying again. This time with femara, menopur and going for HCG tomorrow.

ll be taking a combination of menopur and bravelle for my IVF. The difference between the two is that menopur has both FSH and LH, while bravelle is FSH only. I think they're pretty close in price (at least they were through the online pharmacy I used).

I'm doing well. I am CD 2 - starting Femara on Thursday and then we start Menopur injections a week from today. We'll go in next Friday for a follicle check and hopefully IUI next weekend!! I hope that the injections help with getting more follies! What is your dosage of clomid?

ve been getting negative HPTs, so I should be moving on to my second femara/menopur/IUI cycle maybe Monday. Hopefully this next round will bring us more luck!

I had letrozole(femara) and follistim and only had 1. They should monitor you so you know how many follicles u produce before u do the hcg shot. Good luck.

I had to have ovarian drilling done before I was able to conceive. And even then I needed a cocktail of Femara and menopur plus a trigger shot to help it happen. Hope you don't have to go through all that. Good luck.

I had that happen in two of the cycles I was on femara/menopur (only before ovulation, though). My RE said not to worry about it if it's only after sex. But who knows...maybe you're pregnant! The cervix is a lot more sensitive during pregnancy, which can often lead to spotting after sex. Do you know when you ovulated this month?

t work they move you on to injectibles (which are basically LH and/or FSH) such as menopur, follistim, gonal-f, bravelle, etc. Just depends what your RE prefers to use and what is right for your situation.

I'm not doing straight shots, but I'll be trying menopur this month too (first month on injectables). I'll be doing femara days 3-7, and a 75 IU shot of menopur on days 3, 5 and 7. I have my baseline sono this afternoon, and depending on what day my RE considers CD1 (I started AF at night), I'll either be starting today or tomorrow. Hopefully it will work for both of us!!! SSBD!

well on clomid i needed to have ultrasounds twice a month before starting it and well on it to see when to trigger and do iui. now im on my 2nd month of menopur 225 iu and a waiting my 2ww ....good to you and your husband dont get inpatient .
