1st round of femara/letrozole...wanted: Success stories!!!

[ANYA]

I've been diagnosed with PCOS since 2007, been TTC#1 6yrs now. I used three rounds of clomid, and all failed. I did ovulate just did not conceive. I've been moved to femara this month and it it's giving me headaches also. WIth clomid the only thing I experienced was some weight gain.

The Dr said that clomid does dry u out but not the femara so I'm waiting to see.

Took me 6 years to get prego with #1 ... I ended up making an appt with an RE. I did 2 cycle's of IUI and got pregnant!!

Has your hubby had a SA done?? Are you being monitored while on Clomid and or Femara??

 

[Chiles]

what cd did you get your +opk

 

[brittsho]

Hey ladies! I just wanted to let you know that clomid did not induce ovulation for me on four rounds 150mg. I did however ovulate on CD 20 first round 7.5mg of femara (my cycles are 35days)

 

[Trist]

High ladies! I'm excited to start femara any day now. Would love to keep in touch with other femara ladies and share experiences and hopefully success stories!

Should i be going to get blood work done on cd 2 and cd 21 on EVERY cycle on femara? My FS wasnt clear on that. I do have a requisition for the blood work for the first month but thats it.

Good luck to all of you!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome trist! I will have cd 21 bloods next week. Nothing is set in stone yet. Its all up to your RE or FS. If I don't get my bfp this month I am going to get monitored with u/s next month and get the trigger. I still have not gotten a pos opk yet. I def have bachache and tender boobies. Slight twinges. Good luck, and keep us bposted!

Here's my Femara update. Day 21 bloods (2nd month- I think). 29 (UK measurement). This is far too low and the doc has now put me on progesterone supplements as well. Really wan this to work as I don't want Clomid .

I hope that the femara works better this time around... What dose were you taking?

 

[brittsho]

I never had a progesterone check, they brought me in for an ultrasound to see if any follies grew to at least 15mm to indicate ovulation. The reason being is that I have long cycles & assumed ovulation wouldn't occur until later. I did ovulate this time around cd 21 (+ OPK cd20) I did not end up pregnant however I start round 2 today. I'm feeling more optimistic this month!

I think I am going to have an ultra sound next cycle if I don't get a BFP this cycle. GL to you this cycle.

Think its 7.5 on day 3 of cycle. Which isn't a lot but I had follicle tracking done the first months and it showed a good ovulation= the Femara had worked. Confused by this month's results. Will check in again with my lap results as there may be some endo which is interfering with my ovulation

Hello I am 31 years old and my DH and I have been trying to conceive for almost 4 years for our very first child. So far we have had 3 failed IUI's with Clomid and now recently switched to Letrozole-Femara . I just had my doctor's visit today to monitor my follicles size through Ultrasound and I am excited with the result compared to Clomid. I have a feeling this cycle just might work. I will kepp you updated. I wish you all lots a baby dust and a BFP soon! Take care and have a blessed day. I share my journery in trying to concieve here if you like to follow me . Thanks again!! https://www.youtube.com/user/Orathai22?feature=mhee

I have tried clomid and a steriod together the last 3 cycles with not even a mature follicle. Plenty of headaches, hot flashes and dry eyes, but now I am in my 4th day of Femara. No hot flashes only slight headache on day 1 and 2. I am 41 and want a baby so bad with my husband of 1 year plus! Mid cycle scan next week. Praying hard!

I started femera 5mg tonight....clomid didn't get me to ovulate so hopefully this will good luck ladies!!

 

[tawanamood]

I started 7.5mg of Femara CD 2 and tonight will be my last dose (I decided to do 6 days worth instead of 5).

I had four rounds of Clomid and only ovulated twice.
