Avatar f tn Anyone get pregnant using femara/letrozole after being given unexplained infertility diagnosis? How many months did you take it before you got your positive? Me: 28 Hubby: 30 Sperms analysis perfect, laparoscopy perfect, all tests for ovulation and ultrasounds looked perfect. Trying since 2012 no pregnancy yet This is my 2nd cycle on femara, next ovulation expected on 1/14. If 3rd cycle not successful, will do iui with femara anyone else done this and got pregnant? ?
Avatar f tn I've been diagnosed with unexplained infertility and have had several stimulated cycles (gonal-f plus HCG trigger), but to no avail. This cycle, multiple follicles (3) were measured a day before the HCG shot was administered to trigger ovulation. At that time, my u/s revealed the following follicle sizes: 11.7, 15.8 and 16mm. Back to back IUI was performed at 24 and 48 hours following the HCG.

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 Hi, Typically ovulation monitoring is carried out along with ovulation stimulating drugs like Letrozole. The monitoring can be done through external sonography but infertility specialists prefer vaginal sonography to find out the exact date when you ovulate and also the size of follicle(s).
Avatar n tn Please help me, I dont know what to do. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 2 years and I am afraid that i may have now ruined all my chances.
Avatar n tn I also started on clomid, and was an "unexplained infertility". We were trying for 3 years and no pregnancy. The first doctor I saw told me I was fine, and there was no reason I wasnt getting pregnant. After wasting a year with him, I saw a new doctor who just looked at my transferred chart and knew I had a low antra follicle count. Have you had this procedure done? Its only an ultra sound of your ovaries, and they count your follicles. Depending on your age, your count varies.
Avatar f tn Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Hi There! On my first round of Letrozole(Femara) and no ovulating is showing. Anyone not ovulate the first month, but then start next couple months, or is this med not like that?? I don't feel the best on it, but will try anything. Had our first little guy a year ago with in vitro. We can't afford that route again, so hoping we are blessed by just doing prescription helpers. But I don't want to keep taking something that makes me feel awful if it isn't going to kick in.
Avatar m tn My AF started a few days earlier than expected. I have started another round of Letrozole and added dexamethasone this time. I go to the Dr. for my monthly visit Friday.
Avatar f tn From a obgyn to a fertility specialist. I took letrozole and yes menopur shot too. So far my eggs and lining were looking good. We used timed intercourse. No luck yet. Going to try the same meds and iui next tho. Talk to ur doc abt switching from clomid.

6889053 tn?1386025503 Hello, my husband and I have been trying to conceive since we've gotten married 8 yrs ago. I was diagnosed with pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) in 2006. I'm not overweight, and my cycles come every month but not consistently. Well, this entire month of Nov., I have not gotten my period. I thought I might finally be pregnant so I went to my dr. and the test was negative. How can this be?? I get my period every month, finally miss a cycle, and it's negative?
1287560 tn?1272216521 Thank you for that, my dr hasnt even heard of it, so I am to print a page off web about letrozole and make an apointment to see her and discuss.

486867 tn?1307139011 Do you know what type of male infertility your DH has? I am really, really... hoping the surgery and Clomid work!
486867 tn?1307139011 Hi everyone :) ...DH and I are doing our first IUI in about 2 weeks. I should be starting AF tomorrow. I'm really nervous. I keep trying to convince myself to wait one more month to do our IUI. I make up excuses. I'm really looking for success stories. I need some extra support. I keep trying to tell myself if I think positive, positive things will happen.
Avatar m tn Hello. I am a 24 year old male. My wife and I conceived and recently lost the baby at 10 weeks. Doctors advised she had a blighted ovum. I am concerned about my fertility as a male. If I had fertility issues, would she have gotten pregnant in the first place? Does a blighted ovum mean that I could have underlying fertility issues? If I could get answers, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much! Also, side not.
Avatar n tn selenium, amino acids like l-carnitine, and antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E are important for sperm health. L-carnitine is particularly important for sperm motility. You may discuss with your doctor about any fertility enhancers for your husband. Keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar n tn t ejaculate any sperm in their semen for them to actually go into the testicle and remove some of the testicular tissue, then they look underneath the microscope and find sperm, and do ICSI with IVF for the female.. not sure if this is the same situation or not, but i do know they have good success rates with the above procedure! GOOD LUCK!
Avatar n tn My husband and I are trying to have a baby and we found out two years ago my husband has a fertility issue..He has gone through so many sperm analysis, which shows that he has a very low sperm count, very low motility, verly low viability and extremely low (0% normal) morphology.. He has also gone through the Varicose vein repair last year October 2007 but it seems that the surgery will not help.. Will we be able to have a child naturally?
