Anyone get their BFP on Femera/Letrozole??

[nik25]

Thanks! Clomid made me ovulate but not Conceive but femera didn't make me ovulate at all. I meet with my RE in a week to find out what the plan of action is.

I'm a little freaked out about meeting with the fertility specialist. I'm not sure why. I'm really comfortable with my OBGYN so the thought of another dr prodding me does not thrill me.

Greeneyes is right. When the dr saw no mature follicles, he immediately suggested injections if I wanted since I didn't respond to the femara. I am ready to at least have a mature follicle to give conception a chance. So I said yes.

I fear that he won't give me enough to actually make anything happen. So it may be a waste. We'll see. How much were you given green eyes?

Do you know what choice youre going to make re: IVF vs injections?

I will also be given a trigger shot if mature follies exist!

What injection meds will you be taking? I did 75iu of follistim. It did the trick.

Not sure yet. Should know in a week or so when I go back for the CD3 u/s. I do know that it will NOT be in a pen form. Is follisitim in a pen or do you have an actual syringe?

I'll let you know when I know. How many days did you take it? I'm taking it for 5 days.

Follistim is in a pen. I've also done menopur and bravelle. There are some other ones out there also. I did 5 days as well. To me the injections work better and faster than pills do.

Thanks green eyes! I should have asked what he was going to give but I was already overwhelmed with everything else I forgot. I really hope this does the trick! Did you use the follisitim with your first?

What injections did ou take for the IVF with the twins? Congratulations by the way! When did you find out that you were having twins?

I conceived my daughter naturally and tried naturally for my second but didn't happen. With my 2nd pregnancy, which I miscarried at 11 weeks, I conceived with femara and IUI. With this IVF I used menopur and bravelle.

I found out yesterday. Praying these babies stick.

Nik- how are you?

 

[nik25]

I'm good awaiting out Re appt tomorrow!!! Yay I'm excited to move forward with the next step.. I'm currently on cd7. How are you? Have you started your injections yet?

 

[typeA TTC]

I'm waiting on CD1. Hopefully by Wednesday I will be there! Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

 

[nik25]

Good luck! I hope she shows up soon!! I just left my RE:/ she thinks it's possible that I have PCOS but she Is questioning it Bc I'm thin. They took some bloods today to see about PCOS. Then she wants me to call when I get my next AF and said she might (depending on the blood work) put me on metformin plus clomid. We can do injections but it will cost us $3500. With only a 20% chance of conception.. Our RE told us that with our issues we both have she just recommends IVF, which is going to be about $15000. And have a 50% chance. A lot to think about... But at least I know our options now.

 

[typeA TTC]

I'm sorry nik. That's a lot to think about. My dr is inconclusive about PCOS for me- I don't have ovaries with a lot of follicles in them like PCOS, no facial hair, etc. I don't know.

That sounds like a lot for IVF although I have heard $10k consistently.

How did you respond to Clomid? Any mature follicles? Did they check for blocked tubes?

I have a feeling we will hear the same thing when we go in a month. Part of me would like to do IVF from the beginning.

I just re-read your first post in this thread. Ok so it looks like you are O'ing but the sperm isn't meeting the egg.

 

[nik25]

Just curious how things are with you? I hope AF finally showed for you AF showed a week early, but then also 2 weeks later she's now back again??:/ around ovulation...so Im thinking this is just now my actual period. Very confused lol

 

[typeA TTC]

I'm still waiting for AF!! I took Provera and it's not really working this cycle so I have an appt on Monday to see what next step is. But it's pretty likely that I'll have to take another round of provera. So I'm still stuck in the same place as before.

How are you? On any meds or fertility treatments this cycle?

 

[nik25]

That stinks!! Hope AF shows for you!! I'm even more confused now!! I'm not on any meds this month, but since I had mid cycle bleeding my RE assumed this is my actual period and to start my femera today...well...this morning I got a positive opk and peak day on my fertility monitor. So I have no idea :/ I guess I'm just gonna hold off and see how this month goes. Keep me updated

 

[typeA TTC]

I will. If you got a positive OPK just keeP BDing! Just in case.

I feel like the femara is what messed up me getting my AF. I took provera before starting femara and had no problems. I took it after and now I'm having issues and you had a strange cycle....things that make you go hmmm.

 

[nik25]

I agree... I've never been this screwed up on a cycle before! Well maybe this will mess our bodies up enough to actually get preggers!! fx'd

 

[nik25]

How's everyone doing? I'm just kinda here... Just found out that my ex and his wife are pregnant... And my husbands ex is pregnant...again(she just had a baby this year)!!! Ergggg WTH is wrong with me?? Why can't I have the one thing I've ever truly wanted in I have never experienced this. On cd12 I got a positive on my opk around noon but it was negative later that day..then on cd13 I started bleeding. (heavier than spotting, but not heavy) and now on cd14 it's still the same. I'll call my RE tin the morning, I was just curious if anyone else had this? my life!!?? Sorry for the rant.anyone else dealing with something like this?.. We've been ttc for over 3 years and this was their(my ex) 4th month ttc...

Wow not sure how the middle of that section got all mixed up... Sorry
