Common Questions and Answers about Taking femara for fertility

femara

788859 tn?1236734548 I just found out from my RE that Femara is off-label for fertility, I didn't know that! He said that he gets a letter a week from the drug company telling them not to use it for fertility treatment since it can cause massive defects if used while pregnant. With that said, he still uses it for assistance, as it has benefits. It does 'wear off' so there is little danger for use while ttc.
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.
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!
Avatar f tn t know what my hormone levels are or FSH level. But just wondering what types of fertility drugs people are using and what they are for.
384150 tn?1399904816 t heard of taking VC for fertility, but I added it to my new perimenopause regime anyway. I take 3000mg a day. I also take VB6 100mg and VB12 500 mg each. I take B complex and a multi/folic acid. I think its the B6 that has been helping my LP. Google it - lots of chatter on this subject.
Avatar f tn I have taken Femara, but for fertility (ovulation), not necessarily endo.
Avatar f tn I was wondering what the medical explanation was for why fertility drugs cause cysts? If you do get a cysts at the end of a cycle, does that mean you never had a chance of getting pg from that cycle? Is there anything a person can do to prevent the cysts? I did several cycles of Clomid with no cysts; then one cycle of Femara that produced 2 cysts. Now I'm ending another cycle of Femara and believe that I have cysts again.
325477 tn?1250551309 your dh can also take Vitex as it excellent for increasing sperm quality. I was also taking evening primrose, omega, folate etc... these were recommended from a health food store. If i think of any others ill tell you too. Preseed can be purchased online for about $30aust per month. Im in Australia and I brought it at www.lullabyconceptions.com.au. I have never done IUI or IVF or anything like that. I was fortunate enough that the above worked as it doesnt for a lot of ladies.
Avatar n tn I have used clomid for conception but to no avail.How else can i achieve pregnancy.
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.
257175 tn?1204161973 I have tries Fertile aid, I guess that is like fertility blend for 3 months and it did not make me ovulate. I go see an RE for the first time on Wednesday so I am def gonna ask about femara.
Avatar f tn m looking for feedback from anybody that was having ultrasound and bloodwork monitoring while only taking femara for fertility. The ultrasound monitoring is new for me as my previous fertility doctor only did bloodwork monitoring. So I'm looking for feedback on number of follicles and size on.
925321 tn?1245071217 If 18 months have passed and you are still not having luck, you might consider taking something like Femara for one or two cycles to jump-start your system. If that still doesn't work, you could consider the full gamut of tests. I wouldn't jump right in with a lot of tests though, given your great history of fertility. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Well AF is about to show anyday now (unless by some miracle I get a BFP). So I have 2 choices for my next cycle. Just wondering what you guys think I should do. A. Go with Clomid and no RE. Clomid helps produce more and better quality eggs, although one side effect is that it has the potential to create hostile CM. But I would be taking EPO, and using Pre-Seed in a hopes to counteract. I got this Rx from my general practitioner, so really no one would be monitoring me.
Avatar f tn I started taking over the counter fertility vitamins with no luck. I thought maybe my periods need to be regulated so I went to the docotr and was put in birth control to help regulate my periods. I think im gonna stay kn birth control for 3 months and as soon as I come off start right back on the over the counter fertility vitamins. Do any of you all have any advice???
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 hi! sorry to hear about what you've been going through!!! I unfortuantely understand very well! i was diagnosed with stage 4 endo about 6 months ago, (i had no symptoms, but premenstrual spotting) and i ended up losing an ovary from the endo... and then was later diagnosed with PCOS on my remaining ovary! : ( so we went straight to the fertitliy dr to hopefully get on the fast track to getting preg since time is so important with endo...
Avatar f tn Eventually a few months later I get to an actual fertility specialist. He put me on femara 2.5mg twice a day. I had no side effects from femara, whereas with clomid the side effects were terrible (moody, hot flashes, sore boobs, etc) femara was wonderful compared to clomid! my first cycle on femara I did not ovulate, but on my second round of femara i used hcg injection and got pregnant that way. good luck!!
1697057 tn?1351540435 This cycle I started doing a self fertility massage, and it is said to help with many things including unexplained fertility. I got a DVD on Amazon for 30 bucks, but you can also have a massage therapist teach you the techniques. (the DVD is cheaper, plus in your own home) as far as results I've noticed. This cycle I've had 7 days of fertile CM, in previous cycles I was lucky to have 1 day.
405855 tn?1217100767 I am on Femara right now and have a dentist appointment for 3 fillings.
Avatar n tn is that it stimulates ovulation. Of course the dose you take for fertility purposes is much lower compared to taking it for breast cancer. I did a little research on my own and found that Letrozole is actually much safer than clomid. I've been on letrozole for three months now, and I don't have any of the side effect I had with clomid. I have had good and healthy ovulation since I started taking it. Good luck and baby dust to you!
Avatar n tn to chill out and not get stressed (its easier said then done) Also if you can get away for a few days to relax that may work.. try taking his and hers pregnacare conception - or normal vitamins... or just folic acid on its own.. its worth a try.. but the most important is to stay relaxed!
