femara

255732 tn?1318517822 I had my 1st appt with an RE today. He wants to do a superovulation / IUI with Letrozole. I am to take 2 - 2.5mg tablets days 3 - 7. After reading up on this, it is the same thing as Femara right? Has anyone taken this med and does it actually work alone? My other ? is, he said that we can try this for 3 - 4 cycles, but after that we have to think about IVF?? The only things that I have tried in the past are 4 cycles of clomid and 1 IUI. Why would he skip injectables??
Avatar n tn After unsuccessful clomid / IUIs cycles I was determined to move onto IVF. I know my doctor did not like my decision to move onto IVF but I was determined to get pregnant and I personally didn't want to waste time and money on things that did not work. I was blessed to have insurance cover most of the cost but it is expensive. Does your insurance cover fertility cost? Also, have you gotten a second opinion from another RE?
1287560 tn?1272216521 Hello, has anyone not had much success with clomid to help ovulation so tried a different drug i.e letrozole(femura) instead.
99627 tn?1301270952 Regardless, one of the treatments for LPD is clomid, or letrozole. In my experience, letrozole (femara) often results in later than expected ovulation - not a bad thing but a characteristic of the medication. Concerning the 4% morphology, a better test of your partner's sperm's ability to fertilize your eggs is your IVF history. Were there any problems with fertilization? Was ICSI used?
Avatar f tn Are you doing IVF???I did ivf first time they transfered 4 embryos on monday,they said all embryos good quality,all 8-10 cells 1 was even at 12 cell on day 3 transfer so excited and nervous for results...
148691 tn?1260194903 Hello, I am extremelly frustrated at this point of TTC. A year and some ago I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks, followed by a DNC and a chemical pregnancy. In March, i got discovered a fibroid in my uterus and was put on lupron to shrink it. In May i went under Lap and found no fibroid and some endo that the RE took care of. Now, after all this time and my husband's good SA results, both have been checked for blood and chromosomal disorders and we are all clear, we still can't get pregnant!
Avatar f tn I also have pcos and I had to take 2000mg of metformin for 3 months before my menstrual became regular. I know everyone is different. I justhad ivf done I'm in my two week wait to see if both or one of my embryos stuck. And also clomid helped alot and also letrozole which is also know as femara.
Avatar n tn Just before i found out i was pregnant my doctor had prescribed me letrozole femara which I didnt end up needing to take. Unfortunately, because I was so overwhelmed with grief over the miscarriage and could not think rationally, I decided to take the letrozole counting the bleeding from the d&c as a period in which i used from day 2 throught to day 6. As mentioned, it has now been 3 weeks 4days since the d&c and today I had a positive pregnancy test.
Avatar f tn My husband and I have been trying for almost 1 year. I was on Clomid for 6 months and last cycle switched to Letrozole. Now my period is 4 days late and 2 pregnancy tests say NEGATIVE - this is killing me! My OB has told me I will have to take progesterone to bring on my period. Has anyone else had a late period due to Letrozole or had negative PG tests but turned out they were PG? Thank 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!!!
1287560 tn?1272216521 Hello, have been speaking with my dr regarding my struggle to have a baby after 3 failed ivf's, I am 41 yrs and do no ovulate, before ivf was on clomid and after 3 rounds it gave me a cyst so my dr is reluctant to put me back on this medicine.
4548024 tn?1590005019 it makes me feel like no one has had any success, with letrozole(femara) and thats the fertility med im taking, i put that comment up 1 month ago, and not one person has resoponded. So does it not work.
Avatar f tn Usually REs will start you out on clomid or letrozole. If they don'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.

Avatar f tn says to try at least 4 until moving toward IVF. No blockage or issues with me and no abnormality with him. We are going on 2 years if trying with one MC last year. Frustrated and sad. Has anyone had success with IUIS and how many attempts did it take? Please send positive energy our way :) thanks!
Avatar f tn me and my husband have been trying to concive for 4yrs now and we have been on clomide and letrozole with no success. Recently we have been refered for IVF with ICSI. am really worried about the ICSI part as most evidence report a lot of health problems to the baby. does anyone have any take on this. please help cos i am even thinking of not having it if it means i am gonna subject my child to a lot of health issues.
795248 tn?1250686616 Hi! I am 31y.o. and have unexplained infertility. Have had a laproscopy and cromotubation and tons of blood work and I am perfectly healthy and beyond perfect for conception. Except for the fact that I can't conceive. My husband is perfect also. We've tried clomid for 4mos. and letrozole plus iui last month and tested this morning and got a neg hpt. I'm starting to lose hope. Has anyone else been here??
Avatar f tn Has anyone had success with IVF at the Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine (ACRM)???? I've just had my second failed IUI, first with clomid and then the second with letrozole and am considering skipping the 3rd recommended IUI and going straight to IVF. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like if IUI was going to work, it would have worked by now. I'm sure everyone on here can relate, but I'm just so disappointed and every month that goes by gets worse and worse.
Avatar f tn On days 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 I need to take 1T/day of Letrozole (to stimulate folicle growth). From day 8 onwards 2T/day of Progynova (to ensure thickening of my uteral lining) and from the 3rd day after ovulation, I need to take Duphaston. I can tolerate Letrozole and Duphaston without any problems. But Progynova gives me horrible side effects: dizziness, extreme low energy level and anxiety attacks (never had anxiety before).
1907191 tn?1468100974 I'm doing good! This was my first cycle on Letrozole instead of Clomid, I did clomid for 6 months, that stuff was aweful to me! I have aweful night sweets, the week after I stopped taking the pills, I have had nothing like that with the letrozole. I feel like i'm over analyzing everything that is happening to me tho hahah, is that back pain...could it be implantation? lol I need to just relax :) How many IuI's have you had? Are you on medicated cycles?
Avatar f tn Have you seen a doctor? That is definitely what you need to do. You will need to have a complete work up and your boyfriend should be tested too. There are so many factors that go into "making a baby!" We tried for seven years, so I feel your pain. We were only able to conceive through IVF. But if you haven't even seen a doctor yet, there's a very viable chance that you will be able to conceive once he figures out what's going on. Good luck!
Avatar f tn We have been ttc for 9 months, For the last five, we received ART assistance--2 IUI cycles with Letrozole and 3 cycles with just Lotrozole. We were preparing for our third IUI this week when the news came that my FSH levels were high--21 and my AMH low--.4. We were told that we could do just as well on our own as they could, and that we had a <5% chance of success even with IVF-- in essence sending us home with minimal hope. We were of course devastated.
Avatar f tn My RE had suggested 6-8 cycles of gonal-f before moving to ivf. I would have gone to ivf sooner but have no insurance coverage for it, so wanted to give iui a good try first. Good luck. Don't lose hope!
1190279 tn?1324936257 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.
256553 tn?1258883918 Has anyone ever used Letrozole? Was it beneficial? Did you get a BFP? Any side effects?
