great, thanks

well, i'd guess i'd better let you all in on what's happening with me right now! i'm currently 15dpo (via solid crosshairs on ff) and bfn with cheapies. it's my first ever cycle of femara and i've felt like has been going to arrive for the past few days, but nothing besides a little bit of light beige cm. this morning i woke up early and forgot to temp so i'm at a loss there. i've said to myself all along that i would test tomorrow morning with an FRER if a new cycle hasn't started. so now i just have to wait! chances are i'll use a good test and then start bleeding haha. usually the way.

 

[Jillie89]

Is your dr that prescribed femara monitoring you?

 

[Oh_Clementine]

no, i am unmonitored

 

[Jillie89]

no, i am unmonitored

Has your partner been tested too? How many rounds of femara have they said to try?

We went down the clomid route but found out hubby had low count and motility so it was probably never going to happen if we had not have done IVF. MY body doesn't ovulate very easily at all either.

 

[Oh_Clementine]

i'm completely unmonitored. i don't ovulate at all, so we're giving femara a go to see if it does anything with my body. i live in a regional area and the doctors i've seen in the past were never on board with clomid, etc. so i kind of just gave up... anyway, long story short, i am here on 15dpo.


how exciting for you that you're a mum now and that treatment worked for you. i'm sure every bump in the road was worth it for the end result!

 

[Jillie89]

Well looks like the femara is working to help you ovulate which is a great first step! I know on the clomid I was told it could take a few rounds (up to 6 or so) to get a bfp if I was ovulating and hubby was fine as it can take a year for healthy couples to fall pregnant.

 

[Oh_Clementine]

this cycle it appeared to work, but there's never any guarantee for future cycles even on the same dosage. how long were you on clomid? i've heard you're only supposed to do a maximum of 6 cycles on clomid because it thins your lining, you don't get that with femara so it is safe to take for longer.

pretty sure AF will be here in full force by tonight/tomorrow morning. i am surprisingly ok with that, i never expected to even ovulate let alone get a BFP so... i am feeling pleased.

 

[Jillie89]

100mg, 200mg cycles didn't ovulate. Had ovarian drilling then went up to 300mg. Ovulated 3 cycles then it didn't work to make me ovulate on the 4th cycle. Went onto IVF after that. I asked my obgyn to put me on femara but he wouldn't.
