Anyone get their BFP on Femera/Letrozole??

[nik25]

Just wondering if any of you ladies got your BFP from Femera? If so how many cycles did it take and what mg were you on? I've had 9 failed clomid cycles( I O'd each cycle) just finished my first round of femera 5mg.

Hey Nik - I would love to know too! I'm on my second day of Femara 5mg. No side effects so far!

 

[nik25]

Yay!! Good luck to us this month! Have tRied any other medicines like clomid before? And are you doing IUI with Femera?

 

[nik25]

What cd are you on?

I would like to know this too. This is my 5th month on clomid and I o'ed every month and still BFN. My RE said we could try Femara if I wanted to. I thought about taking it but wanted some posative stories first.

Nik- I'm on CD5. I have not tried any other medicine. My dr likes Femara better than clomid because he has had better success with it. I won't have an IUI, but here is the plan: take Femara from CD 3-7; go in for an u/s on CD14 to check follicles; then if the follicles look good I will have an ovadrel (sp?) trigger shot.

I'm really hoping this will work this month. We will see! GL to all of us Femara girls!!!

What about you guys? IUI? Trigger? CD?

Have any of you guys had DH do a SA?

 

[nik25]

We've done 3failed IUIs so we aren't sure if we will do another this month (next week) ibut RE wants us to. My dh has had a few SA. The first one was Only 13% normal then about 6 months later it was much better but still lower than it should be. I'm on cd10 fixing to start poas lol. How about you girls?

 

[typeA TTC]

I'm CD 7 and will start POAS in a day or two just in case. Although we aren't very far into this process DH had a SA because I thought it made sense to get that checked before pumping my body full of ovulation drugs. DH came out 'excellent' - count needed to be at least 20mil, his was over 120 mil. So DH is fine...it's just me and an ovulation issue.

I have read a TON of Femara success stories on other sites. So I'm getting excited and praying it works. I've had little to no side effects and really wish I knew if my follicles were getting bigger, etc. are you going in for an u/s? Also when are BD?

Post your OPK results if you can! I'm just praying we both ovulate AND get the BFP!! I'm so happy there's someone else on the same drug as me and about the same CD!

 

[nik25]

Same here!! I'm very happy to have someone else going through the same thing! I'm not being monitored. Are you? We don't know if we will go for IUI or not. If so it'll be a few days for now. We will bd every other day until I get a smiley then every day. How about you?

 

[typeA TTC]

I'm being monitored I guess. Going in for an u/s next Monday to check follicles. I wasn't going to BD until the faint positive OPK and then everyday for three days after the bright positive OPK. Even though I have the u/s next Monday, I'm still going to use the OPKs in case I O before the appt. if I start getting a faint line this week I'm going to call and see if I can move the appt to check follicle size etc. although, I'm not sure what a good size is for follicles Lol!!!

Updat me on your OPKs! I will start testing soon and will update. Gosh I'm praying this process doesn't take too long!! . TRYING to stay positive.

 

[nik25]

That's great you're being monitored! I'm not too sure about sizes either. My dh is being grouchy about doing another IUI this month so I don't know if we will or not... Ugh this sounds bad but sometimes I just wish I could freeze his sperm and use it when I need:/ lol Keep me updated when you have ur appt and on your opks! Good luck! I feel positive about this new medicine, but now a little disappointed Bc of him not wanting to do IUI. Since we both have issues, our best bet is IUI.

 

[greeneyes0279]

I got a bfp with femara and iui. It was my 4th cycle. Dh's was low 1st 3 cycles but good on one we conceived. I love femara. I had no side effects with it. Hope you get your BFP!

 

[nik25]

Thanks! And a huge congrats on your pregnancy! We aren't going for IUI this month but I still feel good about femera! My body keeps giving me misleading opk results every month, we are just gonna bd when we can and pray for a BFP!! I usually have 2 or 3 LH surges so u not sure what to think...

 

[typeA TTC]

I talked to DH and I guess we are going to start BD EOD beginning tomorrow even if the OPKs are negative. I'm not sure how much I trust the OPKs because I've never done them- so we might as well BD the whole time (EOD) until a positive OPK or before/after the trigger (if needed).

I don't think my OB will do an IUI. I think he'll make me see a fertility specialist. So I'm going to go with the femara for a few cycles and then make an appointment if this doesn't work.

I'm going to give it my best shot this month though. Scheduled a massage for this week, no caffeine, prenatals every night, using conceive plus during BD, eat as healthy as possible, no rare meat, SMEP method for after BD, and try to relax and be positive.

Did you find the other sites with positive femara stories? Looks like it works well esp for those who had no luck on clomid.

Lol on the freezing of the sperm! I don't think its a bad idea!!

Did you test today? P.S. what's bad about TTCing is that it's all you think about!! Ahhh!
I really have not had many side effects until today. For a few hours this morning I could tell that something was going on. Felt twinges in the left side.

I ended up miscarrying that pregnancy at 11 weeks last year. I know what ya mean about the lh surges. I've had several cycles with more than 1 lh surge. Good luck!

 

[nik25]

I'm So sorry for your loss it is frustrating getting mixed results... I got a smiley on my clear blue digital today around 1 and now it's negative.

 

[typeA TTC]

Did an OPK this morning. Very faint line. We shall see if it gets darker as the days progress. I'm on CD9 today.

Nik - did you test again today? Could have been the urine concentration. Idk

 

[nik25]

Yay it sounds like O is on the way! When do you usually O? I took a other test a few min ago - negative! Also I e been using a fertility monitor and it's just at high as of this morning. I'm cd 13 today
