Common Questions and Answers about Success rate of femara for infertility

femara

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.
Avatar f tn I took Femara and got pregnant when also doing injections. I had unexplained infertility. It appeared my eggs were not maturing on their own and I kept getting cysts. I am now 19 weeks pregnant. My treatment was femara, injection for 3 days, HCG shot and IUI. Your doctor will find a treatment that will work for you. Keep your hopes up. I remember choosing to not be stressed out about whether I was going to get a positive or not and it worked for me. Good Luck!!!
413852 tn?1317308712 My husbands test showed low motility and my test was normal. For my March cycle he suggested we try Femara day 5-9 of my cycle.Dr said we conceived around day 12,we told everyone on April fools day we were pregnant.We had a very healthy pregnancy and very healthy baby boy on 12/3. January 2006 we started trying again for a 2nd child.We started with Clomid and tried for 6 months,then Femara for one month and both had no results on me this time.Moved me to Follistim shots for 2 months.
546831 tn?1262742429 I don't have any success stories put I finish my cycle of femara 2.5 Sunday also. I have been cramping some times on my right side sometimes on my left. I'm praying that the follies getting into shape.
Avatar f tn I was on Clomid for a while with Metformin with less than adequate results. The first round of Femara I had 3 good follicles(can't remember sizes) and the HCG trigger on Saturday morning and then IUI on Sunday evening. My husband has excellet counts and motility, there was a brief issue with the morphology but that is even great now.
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.
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 n tn The RE will probably want to run some tests to figure out the cause of your infertility. Then you can discuss the treatment options you have. Good luck!
Avatar n tn After researching online, Femara is typically used to treat breast cancer. However, research has suggested there is a higher success rate with Femara vs. Clomid. Along with Femara, we are going to continue the Ovidrel shot. Ask you doctor about this. Maybe this could be an option for you and your husband. Good luck!!
Avatar n tn I have unexplained infertility also... I've had all the tests and they can't find any cause for it.... We decided to go with IUI. My son is now 6 months old and we are trying IUI again to have another. best of luck to you!!

1019279 tn?1252587122 I have unexplained infertility, all tests point to healthy eggs, ovaries, and I ovulate. Are you seeing an RE? I went to a gyno for 11 months and he had me on Femara. I went to an RE and was pregnant within 3 months, he increased my doesage and ordered a trigger with timed BD. Have you had an HSG?
Avatar n tn Unexplained infertility for 1.5 years. I am not sure what could be the reason for my infertility , it might be endo but they didn't do a laparo for me yet. If anyone can tell me what other options do I have if Clomid failed?? So what worked for you ?
Avatar f tn Our insurance does not cover infertility so we have paid for everything out of pocket. We got a loan for the first one. Then the other 2 we have had family, friends and our RE help us out. Its amazing how when you want something so bad the money seems to appear. I wish you all the well.
366262 tn?1360031596 After months of failed attempts trying the old fashioned way, and clomid, we finally got our BFP with the second cycle of femara. By the way the side effects of femara are way more tolerable than the awful side effects I would have on Clomid. Good Luck SSBD to you!

Avatar n tn I know there are a ton of us out there going through this. My fingers are crossed for all of you and of course....Baby Dust! What a great holiday suprise (everything body part is crossed). I will keep you posted. I think we need to hear more success stories.
391060 tn?1204749484 I never tried Chlomid but have been on Femara for 6 months, my DH would say that I have had mood swings nonstop! I am guilty of being moody but I don't know if the Femara is to blame or not, however, I have improved in the last two weeks. I think it's because I have joined the forum here and have been able to write about my frustrations and have the opportunity to talk to other people who understand. Best wishes to you!
Avatar f tn if you go above the minimum dose of clomid needed for ovulation, fertility actually can decline, and rate of miscarriage can increase. if you don't get pregnant after the first, second or third cycle of an ovulatory dose of clomid, don't despair. the chances of getting pregnant each ovulatory cycle on clomid are about 15%, which is slightly below the normal rate of fertility each month for women who have no infertility. so keep trying.
Avatar f tn Can someone maybe tell me what is the success rate for artificial insemination? We had AI done friday his sperm was 0.1 and 50percent mobility and then saturday the second round and it was 100percent mobility and up to 0.2 they said something about it should be .3. Has anyone fell pregnant with these counts? What's our chances??
Avatar f tn I feel like the Goldilocks of infertility) my RE put me on 5mg of Femara (letrozole) CD 3-7 this month. Per my Clearblue Easy Fertility monitor, it's been game on with the hubs this week. The 2WW starts this weekend. Clomid side effects were awful (hot flashes, mood swings, nausea). Not too bad with Femara - just some hot flashes. I'd love to know if you have success with Femara. Here's to Good Luck for is both!
1287560 tn?1272216521 Hi Melissa, I just wanted to let you know that I am on another forum for asherman's syndrome, and alot of ladies on there use fermara instead of clomid because clomid can thin the uterine lining. They all say that fermara helps with the lining and several have had success using it. Good LUck!! I am thinking of you and praying you get your BFP soon!!!!
866901 tn?1505506236 If you want a better bet, ask for a prescription for Femara, and also remember that you are upping your chances for multiples--they are even more pricey than IUI! Your guy could take clomid and/or Proxeed to improve his numbers, and that might do just as much good as IUI. I agree with the doc that his numbers aren't that bad though.
374593 tn?1257879950 I think Femara is a great choice for ovulation induction for women with endometriosis. Of course, you should discuss this with your own infertility doctor.
